The Story Of My Life

I wake up with the same old routine. I wake up to the screams of my parents yelling "GET UP!", Eat breakfast then suffer another day at school. I mean it's not all bad as long as I got my bestfriend with me, his name is Travis, we go way back. We met at 7th grade and we were both new to the school and then before you know it... poof! We became friends. I don't want to tell the whole story 'cause there's really nothing special on how we met unlike those movies I've watched where they fall in love with their bestfriends at the beginning or halfway into the movie. Yuck! I could never imagine us like that, I mean he is the playboy of the school. Like I'd fall for that hideous smirk which the other girls define as "dreamy". This isn't even about him, "Oh come on, tell them more how great I am". And of course before I can even finish, my annoying but only bestfriend interrupts me."Hey tell them the good stuff 'cause I think this reader right here is kinda cute" then finishes with a wink*. "Fine,fine". *sighs* I do it anyways 'cause I owe him, he's been with me through my ups and downs but mostly my downs. Those days I feel like giving up, where no one was beside me, not even my own family.. he was there... so I guess I c-could be thankful for that. Before I could continue, he once again interrupts me. "Hey..are you alright?" Then I look at his stare that slowly went into a glare so I got nervous yet I didn't want him to notice. I take a deep breathe in and said "I'm fine you i***t, stop being so serious". Hoping that it would've worked and then I looked at him... but his expression didn't change. He put his right hand on my shoulder and calmly he spoke "You're not very good at lying ya know". He wiped off a few dirt that was on the bench then offered me a seat before he sat. I stopped him and grabbed his arm "You don't need to do this silly" thinking he'd change his mind I try to sound as calm as possible but he wouldn't buy it, that's where I knew he was REALLY serious. So I sat there anyways, this feeling, it was so familiar that it made me go down a trip in memory lane... "WHAT IS THIS?!" both my parents filled with wrath yell at me. Trying to hold back the tears that were slowly filling in my eyes, I didn't talk thinking that they'd be less infuriated with me. At that moment I couldn't even put my thoughts into words. There I thought that keeping quiet was the right decision, They yell at me once more "TALK?!". Losing my breathe for every moment that passes I tried explaining. "T-the s-school wants t-to talk to y-you a-about..". I can't talk properly anymore 'cause at any moment I was about to shutdown. Before I could even think of what to say next, they yell at me even more. "TALK?! WHY AREN'T YOU TALKING" I got even more flustered. I didn't know what to do, my tears just started to burst out and because of that my mom slapped me. Even if I couldn't control my tears I told them what happened but I couldn't control the way I spoke that I started to stammer. "T-they wanted to call y-you because o-of m-my mental h-health" after that I finally got a small sense of relief because it was almost over.. but I was wrong... They started reading the paper that was from our school guidance counselor. The more they read, the more infuriated she got while on the other hand, my dad just laughed thinking it was all a joke. I wish it was. After that my mom glared at me and said "It's not our fault! why do we need to go there?! IT'S YOUR PROBLEM SO GO FIX IT ON YOUR OWN. After all we've done for you, you blame us on this?! HOW DARE YOU!". She ended it but I couldn't believe that she'd do that. I tried convincing her to understand "b-but m-mom this i-is i-impor-" Before I could finish my bestfriend Travis was already at the door waiting and since the door was open he swooped in and took me and said "Oh my you almost forgot our group project, Mr. and Mrs. Moon I'm so sorry we need to go, this is a project we need to finish at our classmate's house, we might be back in a week or two so if you won't mind.." My parents agree with not even the slightest doubt. "Sure, take her. Don't even try bringing her back" so after that I stayed at his house, I was still hurt with what they did so I couldn't sleep that night or even the night after yet he was there to wipe away my tears. After that night I never trusted anything with my parents but they still had to take me, after a week I had to go back no matter how much I'd rather stay away from them. Come to think of it, you wouldn't really see him as a badboy if you knew him more. I still thank him 'til this day. I still don't know how to thank him until now for everything, for the nights I kept on crying and on the days I gave up trying. He never gave up on me, not even once. I should find him a girl that he would finally love because with all the love he has given me as a friend, He deserves to get more from a girl that will love him for real. That girl's gonna be so lucky. Anyways back to me, like I said this isn't about him. For the past ten minutes I've only been talking about him, It's about time I introduce myself. I am Lucy Madison Moon, you can call me Lucy, Madison or how my bestfriend calls me "Maddie". I was born on December 11, 2004 which makes almost 17 this year. Time flies by really quick Hmmm....What else? Like I said I'm not really that good with telling much about myself. As I was frozen and didn't know what to say next there goes Travis interrupting as usual "Hey! So have you told this pretty young lady the good stuff yet?" Travis sounding confident and continuously winking at me giving me the hint. "No, I didn't tell her not even a single thing about you aside from you being my friend. And I know what you're up to, Isn't it enough that you're already playing with 4 innocent hearts of 4 different girls?" exposing my friend while we get a few moments of silence until he finally talks. "Hey! that's not true! stop saying stuff that'll ruin my image" then he gives me this glowering look while I thought of a roast that'll make him stop. "I'm not ruining your image, you are" Then I look back at him turning all red and obviously he got embarrassed but not a second later we both laugh uncontrollably. "HAHAHAHAHHA good one" Travis continued laughing. You'd think by now our friendship would've gotten ruin and just pass by each other giving the "stink eye" to each other but we're not that type of people. Just last week a guy introduced himself to me at the canteen and offered me a seat but before I could have even sat down, Travis pulled of another one of his pranks and put a whoopee cushion on my seat. Yeah it was embarrassing specially to me because that guy was kinda cute but I got back at him anyways, so you can say we got even. Travis maybe like that but trust me he's really nice way deep down inside of him. So more about Travis, His fullname is Travis John Carter And he was born on October 12, 2004 which makes him a few months older than me which is why I treat him like my older brother while he treats me like a younger sister. He has two brothers too. Guess that's why he's so protective of me because I'm like his only "sister", And by protective I mean, very protective. He scares off any guy that tries to court me.
