e is for elephants.

ah, yess, today was rather.. interesting?

started out with me waking up 5 minutes later than usual,
due to my accidentally turned off alarm clock.
the lightbulb in my head clicked on as i remembered that today was uniform day.
couldn't risk an "E".
um, school. the regular 4 classes & lunch.
tyler gave me his hollister hoodie to borrow,
cuz i told him i wanted to.
felt a lot more confident in my rotc uniform,
because of the looks i was getting.
rather shocking, cuz that uniform's not cute. lls.
stephanie left her money at home.
so that meant neither of us got lunch.
figured.
i had a dollar in coins in my pocket for the vending machine,
but an incident made my appetite go away.
jealousy and envy,
turning into anger and total mind loss.
the description of one very violent, threatening individual.
Ernest kept checkin' on me too;
and i was still wonderin' if he was the cause of the incident..

before the fourth period bell,
i saw leon and a few others outside by the trailers.
he asked me where my boyfriend was,
which sparked a little bit of hope into my perspective of the relationship.
he would know better than I did,
but we both knew he'd be at work.
i was completely shocked that Leon knew about that.

Tyrone gave me a whole pack of star bursts & sad he was going to shine my BATES (rotc shoes) for me.
how nice. =)
no relations attached. we're just cool.

got home,
& surprisingly dad asked me how my day was.
(he usually never does)
then he asked me to tell him what's going on in school.
(another shock)
then once again he gave me the speech about the people in our neighborhood.
how careless, triflin', ignorant, and judgemental they are.
he's complaining, but doesn't want to move elsewhere.
makes a lot of sense. [(sarcasm)]

ugh, & im still in need of employment. =/
