BE ALRIGHT- ARIANA GRANDE FT MIGOS

    Another Monday has arrived, and another day to dread. I woke up as usual, earlier than my alarm but today is different.

    Instead of an hour earlier, I had just fifteen minutes before the alarm goes off.

   Shockingly, I don't feel tired like I normally do. I actually felt like I had rest last night.

odd.

   I turned around a bit in my bed and rolled onto the other side, but I hit something fluffy and it landed with a poof on the floor.

   I bent to pick it up and I saw a white fluffed up teddy bear with a pink bow on its neck and around it's head, holding a little heart that says 'we love you beary much'

   I smiled remembering when I once had a teddy like this. I practically forgot it in our last house before we moved here.

so mom and dad still remember?

well boo-hoo, it's a little too late to make up now.

   I picked up the teddy and set it on the bed as my alarm finally rang.

   Finishing my usual morning routine of a shower and brushing my teeth, I went to peep at my reflection.

  My eye bags are somewhat lesser now and my eyes look livelier. The cigarette burn on my neck is almost healed because all that remains is the blood clot covering it.

   I turned around and raised my singlet to look at my back. Tiny blotches of pink, purple and black here and there, but on a general note, the bruise is clearing up.

    I lifted my hand to observe the scald but I saw no scar at all. Clement's treatment actually worked, Is he aspiring to be a doctor or something?

I should really ask him that when next we see.

  I'm already anticipating to see him again.

Lol.

Then finally the only scar I was afraid to open. I took in a deep breath and raised my hair to behold the stitch.

   Still looks like the day I first saw it. No difference at all. I sighed and let down my hair. now am ready for school.

   I put on a white oversize top and a washed blue ripped jeans, brushed my hair to look presentable and headed downstairs.

  I saw my Mom and Dad eating bacon and eggs, but I was in no mood for food with them. I rushed to the fridge and picked up a pear, then set out.

   Mom and Dad said nothing to me, and that's good because if they feel a teddy is gonna atone for their sins, they're so wrong.

    I arrived at school with only three minutes to spare since I chose to go on foot.

I was approaching my locker and saw Meredith closing her's.

  Remembering what Megan had said to me previously, I didn't stagger when I walked up to her.

In fact, I was determined.

"hey" yeah, I started the conversation, points for me.

"uh, hi.. you seem chatty" she questioned. I don't blame her though. I'd be shocked too if it were me.
