Love Mechanics

Chapter Two

 Cat

The sun takes 8 minutes and 15 seconds to reach earth...

The clouds are basically water condensed...

The sky is not blue really, it's just that our pupils have interpreted it, one could see it red on as bright summer day,

I wish it was summer forever,

Summer,

I wish it was mostly winter though,

I hate things that are not white,

The world is full of colors, people should stop using white and black...

It was six am.

Six...

"s**t," I woke up, it was six am, my alarm had probably rang while I was in my happy thoughts, the only time I get to think about silly things. I slept at two last night... got to bed at two, I slept at five o'clock, I was sure that Mickey would have come in my sleep and kill me, he had made me promise to kill myself and last summer gave me the drugs to overdose with.

I sat down from the bed and sighed as I rubbed my eyes, there was no sunshine out but I was sure it was cloudy, I stood up and headed to the window to take a peek at the weather, I was right, it was probably going to rain soon, I headed to my bathroom and looked at the mirror, the sides of my mouth were red, my chin had a dry white substance and I was damn sure it wasn't a d**g.

I blinked rapidly, controlling my anger and tears from coming out, I hated when someone saw me cry, I hated when I saw me cry, I leaned on the porcelain sink and looked at myself kind of wishing it was morgana and she would scare him and tell him to man up, but this was reality, nothing was good about it, nothing, reality was just stupid and crazy and real, too real, nothing was ever memorable about it.

I walked to the shower and removed my clothes fast and stood under the dripping water, I felt dirty, I felt forsaken, my mother did too, I pitied her, the fact that she stays with this stupid f**k just to pay for my fees, and of course get free drugs.

I showered fast, but took longer on the shower, I wanted it to just cleanse me clean and let me be. '

"Hi darling," my mother was holding bags from the grocery store, she looked up at me and smiled,

"Hi," I smiled back, Mickey was nowhere in sight I looked around, no wonder the house was calm.

"Wanna know a secret?" She whispered as she leaned on the counter,

"What?"

"Since your school starts at eight, I thought we could have a mommy son time?"

"Okay?" I said, it was kind of awkward, I was bargaining whether to tell her how his boyfriend ripped my favorite shirt and made me give him a b*****b while taking cocaine and pouring it on my head while repeatedly shouting "Make me come or I'll shoot you" and actually coming all over my face and telling me to try and lick all of them while he was sitting down and munching molly like it was mint or not.

She made eggs and coffee then over sugared mine, exactly how I liked it.

"So what's new?"

"I made a new friend," I said while taking a spoonful of eggs and gulping them down with coffee,

"What's his name?"

"Chiki,"

"A girl?"

"No mom, like you, his parents named him while still thinking he was a girl,

"I said I'm sorry for that," To be honest, I wasn't mad at her for naming me Cat... Which is Catherine in full, and an animal in short, yes, I hated my name and the worst part was that my mother never wanted to change it since she cannot in a million years walk to a place with security.

"No problem," I muttered as I took the last of my coffee.

"What else is new? Anything at home?"

"Apart from your boyfriend orally r****g me? Nothing much mum," I said as I headed out while peeking to see her reaction, she was angry, very angry.

"Good morning class?" Mr. Martin said as he entered the History class, I was sitting by the window, outside, it was drizzling lightly and the window was slightly frosty on the sides, I could see the highway from up here, it was very beautiful, except for the huge traffic jam on most of the roads, I was very bored, I hated history class for real, Max and Ash had changed their classes when the new semester began because both of them had been failing History terribly.

"...Cat!" I heard someone say my name loudly, I looked up only to see Mr. Martin with his hands on my table, I sighed, detention, once more, I hated that, f****d up detention.

"Did you hear what I said?"

"Yes Sir,"

"What did I say?"

"The French government put a tax on salt and that's what led to the French Revolution," I said, it was written on the board, stupid teacher, he always wrote everything he said in a line and thus the last thing he wrote was possibly the last thing he said.

"Okay," He said humbly as he walked to the front, thank God, no detention for me!

"DETENTION!" Mrs. Rodriguez's voice boomed around the hallway, the bell had rung and I was at my Math class standing at the door when my books fell and I had to pick them up, there was only two of us at the hallway,

"Cat and Elliot, I expect to see you at detention today at four,"

It's Official... I hate my life.

"What's up," Chiki asked as I sat down.

"Oh nothing, it's just that I was r***d, once again, and I had a very icky time trying not to think of all the molly stuffed under the couch of our seats till five in the morning and then woke up to a woman who was high because she never talks for more than five minutes without coke in her blood, and, I got detention, just f*****g great because that means I will have to run fast to the AA meeting or I will take more drugs and repeat history, speaking of witch, I escaped one detention only for gravity to come and give me one, ah, Chiki, Who did I kill in my past life? Jesus? Was I the devil so as for God to s**t me up Chiki...? Was I?"

"Nothing, Mrs. Rodriguez just gave me detention,"

"But... Won't you miss your AA?"

"I'll be late home again,"

"Hey... How about we go get dinner afterwards? Like last night?"

"Okay," I finally said before the Math teacher entered.
