Chapter Text
The rest of the day passed in a hazy blur. I didn't have Nora or the emo guy in my other classes, leaving me a pretty dull day. I stepped out into the warm suffocating embrace of the sun as my tired eyes struggled to adjust. My shoulders barely supported my overstuffed backpack, straining with agony with every movement as I journeyed back home. Collapsing into the foyer, I unceremoniously dumped my backpack onto the ground and slumped face first onto the couch. The fabric felt like a gentle caress against my skin. I rubbed my face against it and sighed with contentment.
I sat up and took out my tablet. Time to relax and enjoy an hour of gaming.
I threw my tablet with full force and watched as it bounced harmlessly onto the cushion, and I shot up from the couch with a practically red face. That was not a relaxing hour of gaming. I stomped up to my room and slammed the door. I stood in my room breathing, struggling to contain my rising anger. What the frickles. I didn't come back from school to lose 8 games in a row. I felt a scream bubbling in my throat, but I clenched my teeth and forced it down, opting to throw myself onto the bed and punch the pillow in frustration.
