I've had an incredibly terrible day. Here's why:
I was walking to the bus top, which isn't too far away and as I'm watching the road ahead, a big yellow phallic bus rrooolllssss right on by.
I'm too far away to possible catch it, but my mind thinks "hey, it's okay. the next bus will come!"
But no. No it didn't.
I stood for a second and turned around, my backpack was loaded with crap and it was getting heavy. I had missed both buses.
Awesome.
But that isn't what made the day so horrible.. it was just the beginning.
I came home, and told my sweet old grandmother that I had missed my bus and I needed a ride.
She scowled and got on her coat and got her keys and before I knew it we were off!
As we were cruising down the road she begins to speak.
"Willow.. I feel that you don't like living with me."
I'm quite bewildered at this statement- ofcourse, I don't like living with her that much, but I wasn't about to say that to the old woman.
"What makes you think that, Gramma?"
She looks ahead. "Well. You're rude. You're rude too me, mostly. You don't have very good table manners- infact, they're atrocious. You always have your elbows on the table and that's just not good manners. The way you eat is disgusting.
And you're wearing this disgusting tattered jacket. I think you should throw it out.
It's no wonder you don't have a boyfriend. I mean, the way you dress- I'm surprised you have any friends at all."
I just stared at her in dumbfounded silence.
She had just blasted a huge bombshell while I was on my way to the frontlines.
I didn't even listen to whatever else she said. I just stared out the window, my hands were shaking with a mixture of rage and complete and utter despair.
I arrived at school, said a quiet thank you to the old bat sitting in her brown vehicle.
I slammed the door and didn't look back, and I sat on the stairs. I could feel the river of tears coming forth from my eyes so I hurried to the nearest washroom and locked myself in a stall and cried. I cried so loudly that any other girl who entered would leave in a hurried fashion.
Fuck you to, Grandma.
