Today has been rough. There was a big fight in the lunchroom, I just found out that I have three tests tommarrow and I haven't studied for any of them, my best friend's boyfriend just broke up with her and now she's whining to me about it, I'm completely exhausted, and I'm starving. I literally only had an apple today. Absolutely nothing else. I'm just going to lay here for a while and not do anything.... anything at all.... absolutely nothing. Oh crap. I'm still starving. I'll go ahead and get some food now.
"Hey there Carina how was school today", my dad asked as I walked into the kitchen.
"Fine I guess....." I replied. I opened the refrigerator and saw that as usual there was nothing good to eat. All vegetables, and some strange mixes of meat and more vegetables that my mom made. Oh wait what could that be?! Is it a cupcake!? Oh my god! It is a cupcake!! I take the cupcake out of my fridge and start to take the wrapper off. Then my dad says,
"Carina, that cupcake's not yours."
"Nuuuuuuuuuu!! But I already took the wrapper off!" I give my dad a really pouty expression as I say that.
"It's for your mother. It's her birthday tommarrow, remember?" My dad says chucking a little.
"Oh yeah....." I put the wrapper back on as best as I can and put the cupcake back in the fridge. "I guess I'll just have some of this strange vegetable-meat mix" I murmur to myself. By the time I finish my meal (If you can even call it that.....), I realize that it's already eight o'clock. My mom comes home now from work. I think I forgot to tell you about what my parents do. Maybe? I don't know. Whatever, I'm going to tell you anyway. My mom is a doctor and my dad is an astronaut. Clearly two very smart and hardworking people. And then there's me. I wouldn't say I'm not smart or anything, I mean I'm in pretty much all advanced classes, but then there's that one thing. I'm pretty lazy. I tend to skip over homework and not study for tests, but hey, before you yell at me to do my work and all that, let me just remind you that I'm a nice and sweet person if I do say so myself. I think I'm going to go to bed now. Good night~♡
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Alright. It's morning now. Time to go to school. ^-^ I do the normal things girls do in the process for getting ready for school. I take a shower, 'cause I forgot to take one last night, I dry it and the brush it and the put it in my crappy little ponytail I put it in every day. Alright I'll just skip over the rest of getting ready because you probably don't want to hear it. Okie! Off to school! This morning I decided to walk to school. Just because I got up so early. As I'm walking I notice this strange object laying on the ground. I pick it up it see what it is. It looks like a part of a machine or something. I examine it for a couple minutes and then decide to put it in my backpack for safe keeping. I'll ask someone about it later. When I arrive at school, something feels a little off. I brush it off and go to my first class. In that class sits a boy that I have never seen before. He has blue hair and bright blue eyes. Wait a minute blue hair? Oh well. His spot ends up to be right next to mine. I dig through my backpack to find my notebook or something, and the machine part falls out. The boy looks at it funny and then asks me,
"Is that yours?"
"Ummm... yea I think so" I say as I pick it up.
"Are you sure about that?" The boy says.
"Ummm.... yea I think so" I say once more. He gives me a strange look. And then he asks me,
"Is your name Carina Lucas?"
