The Week of Challenge

    I wake on Monday and groan. School is the worst. I have three tests this week and a pep rally today. Those are boring and uncomfortable.

    I get out of bed and pull on a pair of ripped jeans black jeans, a black tee, my white combat boots, and to top it off my burgandy leather jacket. I do my everyday eye makeup and head to the kitchen.

    When I get to school Kade and Candy are by the door. Kade looks good in a pair of light washed blue jeans, a t-shirt and combat boots.

    Candy is in a blue ensamble with black jeans and blue sandals. She looks good in her own style.

     "Can I ask you a question?" I ask her.
     "Sure."
     "How long does it take for you to do your makeup?" I ask her.
     "About 30 minutes. I like the detail so I wake up early and do my makeup." She tells me.
     "Well it looks great!" I tell her.

    Candy has some dedication to her makeup. I take 5 minutes it turns out the way its supposed to and if not I don't wear it at all. I turn to Kade and see he is smiling.
     "What?"
     "Girls and makeup. I know you. You take 5 minutes to do even your dressiest look." He says matter a factly.
     "True dat." I laugh as we head to our first bell.

    The day was okay. The pep rally was recognizing all the football players and welcoming freshmen. We clap while rolling our eyes. This is stupid. I go home and run then take a nap. Laura is out and so dinner is late. 

     After dinner Laura calls me into her room.
     "Hey Kara I got you some clothes today. Your mom sent your sizes and I though you might like these." She says when I make it to her room.

    The dress she holds up is pretty green dress with a floral long cardigan to go with it.
     "This is for church. I noticed you looked uncomfortable and tried to find your style but in darker colors." She tells me.
     "Thanks Laura, I will wear it next Sunday." I tell her sincerely.

    The material of the shirt is nice and soft and I imediatly like Laura more. Its hard to resist her when she does this.

    Wednesday I have my first Geometry test. The night before I spend four hours reviewing and redoing problems. I like to be prepared for tests so I study hard for my favorite subject.

    When Kade sees me he smiles. We've been texting like crazy and I'm going to the rodeo with him on Friday night. Me and Candy are going shopping on Saturday at the mall a few miles out of town. She said her mom could drive us there. 
     "Hey you ready for the test?"
     "Yeah I studied for like four hours last night." I tell him.
     "Cool. I don't know if I'm ready. I had to work till 10 pm last night and then I was so tired. I only reviewed a little this morning." He tells me worriedly.
     "We can redo some problems before class. It will be quick but you can get some more review." I tell him reasuringly.

    So thats what we do. For the first fifteen minutes of class we review some of the beginning of the unit. I show him some studying tips and an app called quizlet that really helps me study.
     "Thanks Kara. I owe you." He whispers as Mr. Scowell hands out tests. I nod and take my bubble sheet along with the test.

    After class Kade asks me.
     "Wanna hang tonight?"
     "No, sorry I have to study. I have two more tests tomorrow and that requires around five hours of studying." I tell him apologetically.
     "Okay see ya tomorrow!" He calls as I make my way to Modern World History. Its a pretty easy class and I kinda like it. We really dont have tests in this class. The teacher tells us he hates grades. So he gives us weekly quizes that all month add up to a test.

    I sit down and pull out my notebook. The class teaches us the last ten years of major world news. We are studying about 9-11 and what led up to this. The teacher Mr. Michaels is a renowned world teacher. He has taught in five different countries and at Harvard. I like him because he is really laid back.

    The class ends then I have science. I'm in advanced and it takes a lot to keep an A average in this class.

    It passes quickly and so does the rest of the day. In high school the schedule has more classes thus the time of the classes are shorter.

    Friday I am very tired and as Kade asks me to go to some function with him I sigh.
     "Kade I'm sorry but I've had a stressful week. Tonight I want to chill at home and go to sleep early. I will see you tomorrow!"
     "Okay." He says disappointed.

    We are a little short with eachother today and Candy sensing it pulls me in the bathroom asking.
     "What happened with Kade?"
     "I turned him down again to go somewhere. I'm tired and want to be alone tonight." I sigh once again.
     "Okay well lets get to seventh before the bell." She says and rushes away.

    Home is the same as always but Laura seems very chipper.
     "What are you so happy about?" I ask. She just smiles and goes back to washing dishes.

    As I get in my bed I sigh. This week was the hardest and it will be like this every three weeks. Well its the price I have to pay for sucsess.
