Another Day in My Unfortunate Life

By: K. M.

He was there. It was so real.  Holding my face in his hands. I never felt this way before.  I didn’t want this moment to end.....it did. Slowly but suddenly everything drifted away.  I was alone in my own darkness, no one to say they loved me.  It was then when I realized I was in my same old boring room, and I was living another day in my unfortunate life.

Oh! Did I forget to tell you? My name is Ashley Montgomery, and this is my story. 

I got up to go wash my face with water. I needed to clear my head. When I finished I’d planned on going back to sleep, but I saw a faint light coming through my room window.  I looked at the clock on the wall, and my eyes practically fell out my head.  I was going to be late for the fifth time in the semester. I made a full 180 degree turn heading back to the bathroom so that I could take a quick shower. When I finished I bolted back to my room and put on a pair of black skinny jeans, a flannel t-shirt and a pair of heeled boots.

I was down the stairs in a flash.  I ran to the key rack, grabbed my car keys and I was out the door. 

When I arrived to my school I immediately parked.  I stepped out of my car. As I was getting out I saw something closing. I realized that it was the school door.

 “Great,” I mumbled, “just what I need.” My boots would not let me run without twisting my ankle (that was an accident waiting to happen). Still I tried. As I was ran, I stepped in a hole and heard a CRACK! I looked down and noticed I was limping.

Please don’t be...“UGHHHH!” I groaned as I stared down at my broken heel.  “Can this day get any worse?”

I finally made it through the door in just enough time. You’d think everything was alright wouldn’t you?

Guess what? Everything wasn’t alright. My heel was broken and I’d have to walk around like this all day. Just my luck, right?

Today was not my day, and on top of all this “Miss Montgomery, YOU’RE LATE!” poured over my shoulder. GOD! I just can’t win.  Now you see why it was another day in my unfortunate life.

That was my story........gotta go, wish me luck. I’m going to need it.
