Life Troubles
————————————————————————————————
Have you ever just... thunk of life as a video game? I do. For me, it is like a video game that's expensive, hard to beat, and not everyone has a happy ending. Not everyone likes this game. Huh, most of the time I feel like I'm the only actual player in the earth, with thoughts and feelings, and that everybody else isn't real and are only CPU's. Do you ever feel like that?
I'm April. April Martinez. And this, is my life, starting on the first day of junior year at the age of 16.
I will start off to when I was walking to my high school, not so excited to start junior year. "I wish I was dead.", I repeated in my mind, as I walked outside of my house, and waved goodbye to my mother, Charlotte Martinez.
I closed the door behind me, walked down the steps, and began to fidget with the black straps that were dangling from my backpack.
I walked quickly, as I looked down at my white watch on my left wrist and saw that it read, "6:51 A.M.". Yeah, I wasn't gonna start off like how every school girl starts their story, which is by running to school as they were late for their first day of school with a toaster in their mouth.
"HEY, API! OVER HERE!", yelled a familiar voice from my right side. I flinched and turned around. It was my long, brown haired, most trusted best friend, Amber, waving at me from the other side of the concrete sidewalk. I called her Ambs for short, and she called me Api for short.
I smiled brightly. "HEY, AMBS!" I yelled, as I waved back. "I'M SO EXCITED FOR JUNIOR YEAR.", I said, sarcastically. "I KNOW, SAMEE!", she responded, sarcastically.
Taking advantage that there were no incoming cars, she ran over to me, and gave me a slightly tight hug. I hugged her back.
"I'm so happy to see you! Even though we did hang out together during break, I still missed you.", she told me, as she let go. "Me too Ambs, me too.", I said.
She looked at my hair. "Hey, you look so different! You got bangs!", she told me, in a surprised voice. I chuckled. "Yeah, I felt like getting a new look. And I wanted to hide my forehead.", I told her. "Nice.", she said back, as we started walking.
The sunlight began to slightly shine, making my reddish orange stripes on my long, thick, russet colored hair shine. Most people mistake it for being dyed.
Me and Amber then arrived at the front of the school gates. We both heavily sighed.
"...ah, sh*t, here we go again...", I said. Amber chuckled, and we both walked inside the school at the same time.
We walked in the gates, and I felt my peaceful vibes saying goodbye. I slightly frowned as I saw the teachers walking by with clipboards in their arms.
"what time is it?", asked Amber, as we were looking for our lockers. I glanced at my watch.
"7:04 A.M.", I said. "wow, we came kind of early, huh?", mentioned Amber. She was right. Our homeroom class always starts at 7:30. We still had a bit of time on our hands.
"Well, uh, how about we go look for Ace? I haven't seen him.", I mentioned.
Ace is also Amber and I's best friend. He has golden brown hair with blue eyes.
Amber smiled and nodded. "sure.", she said.
We walked around the school, and chatted as we were waiting to see him somewhere. But, we didn't see him.
"..maybe he's not here yet.", we both thought, as we stand on the hallway.
"...okay, I need to go to the bathroom, will you come with me and wait for me..?", I asked her. "okay.", she agreed.
We were then on our way to the restrooms.
When we arrived, and I was about to step inside the girls bathroom, we suddenly saw Ace come out of the men's restroom. Me and Amber's faces lit up.
"Ace!", we both said, as the three of us hugged.
"Hello, April and Amber.", he greeted, as he hugged us back. The three of us let go.
"..when did you get to school?", I asked him. "..not that long ago. I did look for you guys, but I don't think you guys came here yet. So I went to the rest of the guys.", he told us. "Oh, okay." I said.
Then, the loud school bell rang, and we all went to the classroom for homeroom. Junior year had then officially started.
