A few days, and I have not heard from my brother. He promised me he would text me, or call me. I guess that’s the way the world works. Promises that are broken.

I was in the middle of writing my paper for English, when my brother finally texted me.

-Hey buddy.-

I looked at it, and continued writing my paper. My phone buzzed again.

-How are you doing? -

I continued to ignore my brother’s texts. It had been a few days, what was a little more time going to hurt? I finished my paper, and printed it out. I sat down in a comfy position with a highlighter, marking mistakes, and doing a little editing. My phone buzzed again.

-Are you mad at me? Answer me buddy? I want to talk to you.-

I rolled my eyes, and answered him.

-I’m fine. I’m just editing my English paper. How are you?-

I went back to editing.

-Oh sounds like fun. lmao. I’m good. I just finished my history midterm, and about to head out to get something to eat. -

-Where are you going to go to eat?-

-There’s a sushi place that is really good. -

-Sounds really good right now.-

-I’ll have to take you sometime.-

There were so many questions I wanted to ask him, but it all came out as: -You better.-

I typed the final draft of my paper at midnight. School is exhausting. I always said that I would not procrastinate doing my work, yet here I am finishing a paper the night before it is due. I make all these detailed plans, yet never get around to actually doing anything other than Netflix, and snapchat.

By the way, I have 100 photos of selfies with the dog filter.

I got up at seven in the morning, and didn’t eat anything. I got dressed in a rush, and got in the car. I could buy some chips or something in the cafeteria.

English was first period today. I handed in my paper, and we had quiet reading. Well, it was supposed to be quiet reading. I fell asleep with my head in my hands, and the rest of the class talked quietly amongst themselves.

I didn’t sleep through second period. So that is something to be proud of, I guess. I had Spanish , then lunch, then French, then German. I concentrated enough in Spanish, and almost fell asleep in French and German. 

I ended up siting with Sam and his friends at lunch today. Edward and Danielle were making out behind the storage shed, when I texted him in English.

"Danielle and I going to spend some alone time today at lunch. "That’s the reply I got

To my surprise, no one was seeing each other. One girl even came out as Asexual. We ended up talking about bands, and manga, and books. It was good break from the delirious traumatizing experience of high school.

Although, Brennan almost got into fight, when someone said he had bumped into him. People are brutish, and vain. Sam stepped in and resolved the conflict before it could escalate further. I just sat there, and looked at the table, holding my sandwich in my hand. Seems the only thing I am good at is eating, and reading. Sometimes, I even combine the two.  There is nothing quite like eating my mothers brownies, and reading a really good book at the same time though.

My phone buzzed. It was my brother.

-sorry to disturb you during school, but I was wondering if you would be interested in seeing a play with me this weekend? It is at the auditorium. -

-Sure.- This was it. I was going to spend the weekend with my brother, and things would be back to normal. I could use a bit of normalcy for once.

-Okay great. I got the tickets. I’ll be home Friday to pick you up.-

was so delirious that I ended up confusing the accusative and Dative case, and ended up with a D on the German test. The teacher graded the test in front of us, as we handed it in. I hate teachers that grade your tests in front of you. Can’t they wait to humiliate us? I swear, some teachers live to torture their students.

I was happy, and smiling for the rest of the day. I went home, and packed up some clothes. Even though it was only Wednesday, I wanted to have the best clothes to spend the weekend with my brother. I asked my mother if I could get some Hollister clothes. Of course she said "no," and that the clothes I had were perfectly fine, which either meant we didn’t have the money in out budget to buy new clothes, or she was just too lazy. My bet was on the latter. She was nurse at the hospital. I’m pretty sure she was just lazy. I didn’t care too much though, I was too excited that I get to spend time alone with my big brother this weekend.

I ate dinner, and talked to my mother about school. We had Szechuan chicken and rice and vegetables for dinner. I taught Tai how to use chopsticks properly instead of being a walrus, or shoving them up his nose, like he usually does. I did the dishes with Tai, and played some Wii sports with Tai, and rewrote my German notes before brushing my teeth, and going to bed. I had the most pleasant dream since the summer before my brother left for University.
