《Ho Hey》III. Me Time
Advertisement
You look like you drink white Gatorade and smell like ear backs, please go away.
"My biggest fear is starting my period on the first day of school, that just changes my whole outfit and now I gotta walk like a damn penguin to each of my classes."
I signed to my best friend, Kiana, we were on face time as we began to get our bookbags ready for the first day of school that was just a week from now, she looked at me and nodded.
"I know right, minus five if I bleed through."
Kiana signed back as she took out a pencil case and began to fill it with different necessities, I didn't do mine yet as I was busy stuffing my bookbag with the books that were going to be needed for the year.
I strongly hated out lockers as they were the turn locks than the key locks, I always forget my combination and have to have someone help me open it again, it's like a daily struggle.
"Can't wait to see if we have any classes together, I want to gossip about everything and anything with you as we work."
I signed excitedly, Kiana and I have been best friends since birth, her mom knows my mom and since then, we've been inseparable since.
Although Isabella and I were joined at the hip, Kiana were joined at the collarbone, she knew everything I was thinking before I had even thought of it.
She's like my twin sister, I never once wished that she could be normal and hear me because this is normal, this is her normal and it has been since the day she was born.
There are moments that I forget that she's deaf and can't hear me, but she always reminds me that it doesn't ever bother her, she's just glad that I don't treat her as if she has some special disease and might die if I get it mistreated.

Our arguments are probably the funniest thing you'll ever see, we're just cursing at one another with our hands and you wouldn't know until you see our facial expressions, we always apologize and forgive one another at the end of the day though.
Even if we don't apologize in one day, Kiana will always walk back to me with open arms when she realizes that we're better together than farther apart.
"Tell me more about the beach boy, he's a messed up person for what he did."
Kiana signed as she looked at the camera and made a sour face, I laughed as I begin to tell the story all over again, this time going into further more detail so she could understand what was going on better.
Every part that Tanner is brought up, she scrunches her face and shakes her head as if he was a medicine that she had to take but didn't like the taste of.
He leaves a sour taste in her mouth is what I'm trying to say, he leaves a sour taste in everyone's mouth for what he did, if you liked my friend then it's best if you talk to her and do it yourself, don't use me.
It's just rude and disrespectful, not only to her but to me, have some dignity, or did it get lost when he was surfing?
"I'll call you tonight, I love you."
I signed as I grabbed my phone, Kiana signed back that she loves me before hanging up the phone, I smiled at the photo that I had of her as her contact photo and then placed my phone to charge.
After that, I walked to my dresses and grabbed all my skincare essentials to begin my me time, as I opened the face mask container, I sat down on my bed.

When I finished my face mask, I got up and walked to the dresser to take some photos of myself because I always feel so pretty whenever I do skincare, I actually always feel pretty but it's just now that with my pink glitter mask on, I feel like Madonna.
Anything's possible when you have the right mindset, I waited for the mask to dry before I satisfyingly peeled it off and rolled it into little balls before throwing them out in my bedroom garbage can, next up was to do under eye masks.
The first day of school is coming up and I needed to look better than all of the other girls, that sounded a little bit too conceited but if you ever met the girls in my school then you'll understand.
Once that was done, I walked to the bathroom to take a nice warm shower and to also think about all my poor life choices that I've made so far, I'm pretty convinced that everyone does this.
I even pretend to argue with my shampoo bottles but it scares me when they fall, I'm pretty sure they don't do well under pressure, oh well, suck it up.
When I finally got out of the shower, I dried myself and made sure that my body felt clean and smoothe, I didn't want to get dressed in the bathroom so with the towel clutched around my body, I walked to my bedroom.
As I got dressed and made sure that I smelled good, I had my music blasting Conan Gray and The Neighborhood because that's honestly the vibe for today.
Listening to 'Stuck With Me' by The Neighborhood is the song that always makes me so happy, it's also the song I'm going to be playing on loop when I get dressed for the first day of school.
Sometimes to romantize your classes, you just got to have the best songs on loop and the pretend that you're the main character, but do it on the low, don't be like this tacky tiktok compilations of the main characters.
I got into bed and began to say my good night affirmations before turning off my lights and closing my eyes.
Whenever you're feeling uneasy, angry, upset or just neutral, say some affirmations and manifest for a better chance at life, it works if you believe in it.
Just as I finally felt myself to drift off to sleep, my bedroom door was opened and the lights of the hallways began to seep into my bedroom making me open my eyes.
You look like you drink white Gatorade and smell like ear backs, please go away.
I told my younger sister before she could insult me, she huffed and shut my door all the way which is such a miracle to me because never likes to close it all the way.
Now back to going to sleep.

Sometimes, the expectation to not disappoint just gets to you. Sometimes, life just gets to you. And it brought Cilen to his knees, lamenting, cursing, questioning, "why?"
