Okay, so Yesterday was my birthday. Yay right? WRONG. It was awful. The one time I usually would get even the smallest bit of attention from my family, taken away from me. At times I even forget it was my birthday. And would you like to know why?

Because it was also an award ceremony, and my graduation. So, I came home from school, get ready, and then finally, when my father came home with the pizza.

We ate, they gave me a couple books, then, we were outta there. And nope. No songs, no talk, no nothing. Just straight into the car.

What I regret most, is that earlier that day at school, everyone was going to sing happy birthday, as Cassidy as something with her hearing, where she doesn't like loud noises.

Don't get me wrong, I don't either, but it just gets a bit annoying with her.....

So I told them not to sing, because it would be too loud. And now looking back on it, that would've been the best celebration yet. Even if it was just a song. They were doing it for me.

*sighs* Well, I wasn't really mad at Cassidy at all, nor was I ever, I was just disappointed that I couldn't have had a better time. (No i don't blame Cassidy)

Now, after the car ride, I had forgotten completely that it was my birthday, and I had walked into the school, and lined up, ready to go to my seat. When I got there, they handed out the awards.

I got one the writing one O////O my face.

Anyways. After that, we graduated. FINALLY! And went to the library for cake.

I didn't like it. :( but oh well! I spent a little time with some people, and then I realized why I mostly talk with teachers... But that isn't a problem!

Now, I came home, drew a bit, and went to bed, completely forgetting to set my alarm clock, for the next day.

Like, seriously, who goes to school AFTER graduation? I was going to go, but ended up sleeping in, because of no alarm.

So, here I am now, reading one of my books, when my phone beeps. I pick it up, and I have a message from my friend Rae.(she's a girl)

I started texting her, and fess what. It was Cassidy.

And what she told me pissed me off. She told me that she counted on me, and she told me that she never would again.

I was seriously wondering why she didn't hear my side of the fucking story. I wasn't mad at her reaction. Because she was right. I told her I was going to be there, and I wasn't. But what mad me angry, was that she didn't listen to WHY I didn't go.

Yes, I tried lighten the mood, but over text, it's harder than when in person. So she told me that if I thought that was funny, that I clearly didn't know her.

Which honestly, is a good reaction. I'm not mad at that. So now, in really pissed off that she didn't give me a chance to explain.

And the bad part is, because I slept past the bus. I can't even go INTO school. UGH.

Life is so hard! So...that was that....and I'm going to try an scale myself down.....
