The house needs milk. Molly needs to be walked later today. When I come into the house, I head for the stairs and face forward. Slouching, stand tall or else I´ll feel self conscious.
I have work at two today, I get out of school at 12:39 so If I´m home by 12:50, I´ll have enough time to take a nap and wake up at 1:35, get ready and be out the door by 1:45. Then I´ll have three to five minutes of free time before I clock in.
I wonder who she’s with, I wonder if she would pick up the phone if I called right now. I should wait until 4:44 to call, that way I´ll have good luck. What if she’s on a date, or sleeping, or running away right now. I need to clock back in. What if she’s ignoring me, did I do something, did she meet someone else. I hope they don’t check the cameras. Clean the spill, get the cups, then clock out. Got it. Okay, get more ice cream, ice, napkins, clean the dishes. Clock out before I get overtime, grab my bags and head out. I wonder if anyone can hang out right now, I don´t wanna go back to the house yet. It’s almost 10, I should go back. Put the code in, say hello is anyone there, then ease the stairs head down and swiftly. Finish rat dissection, write up then head to bed. Repeat tomorrow, work at 1 and I get out of school at 12:39. Wake up at 6:40, get dressed and my little brother ready by 7:35 and to school by 7:40. ,
