New Year





There was no use in trying to hide it. I hated my life. I would simply go day by day, week by week and month by month putting up with the same crap as always. School was an absolute pain as I would constantly fail my tests. It wasn,t that I was incapable of doing them, I knew all the answers. Instead I would just draw pictures of cats and boats on my tests. I could ace each and every test but there would be no point. I couldn't advance in life. I had no money for college, though I'm quite a few years from graduating, and none of my skills were suited for jobs that I could get. People think that I'm dumb and so they won't let me live my life. My family provided no comfort. I got punished for my atrocious grades and so I could never see the few friends I had. But tomorrow is  new year's eve.Mabye I'll get a fresh start.

I woke up after a rough day and beating from my class"mates". I look at my clock beeping in the energetic way it does. 7:00.

"Crap" I say to myself  "I'm late for school."

I still go to prevent myself from breaking the law. I realize that it's a holiday and hit the snooze button to silence my clock, whose life seems better than mine. I get up, go downstairs, grab some frozen waffles and head back to my room. I normally would lay in my bed after I ate and then fall asleep on a holiday. Normally. This time however I used my computer watched some My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and read My Little Dashie for the tenth time. It helps me get through my days, thought nobody else knows since I keep my door locked during this time, although it really just makes me wish more that I was there and not here.I look at my watch.

"Eleven fifty" I said in a rather bland voice "I guess I'll have lunch early."

And so I got up out of my chair and slowly walked to the door. I could hear noises of laughter and games and music emenating from the living room. I open the door and there I see friends and family of my parentsas well as another thing. It was dark outside. I checked my watch again. 11:52 P.M.! Though I never wanted to do anything with my family the always offered me to join. This was a first. They went a whole day without trying anything. No knockig on my door. No sending me and E-mail. Just nothing. I stood there and watched as there was an akward silence. I checked my watch. 11:54 P.M. I turned around and locked myself away again. At eleven fifty-five the party picked up again. I counted down the minutes. 11:56 P.M. I began to drift asleep. 11:57 P.M. I try to resist my sleep but I barely manage to. 11:58 My eyelids begin to fall down. 11:59 P.M. I see something falling outside through my cracked window. A shooting star. I cast my wish. I fall asleep.
