Stupid Hair And Magic Tricks

My Mum cries a lot man like a lot when she's not yelling she's crying, with photos of my dead sister scattered on her lap. Her large blue eyes are red from sobbing tissues scattered on the coffee table, when I was small she used to force me to look at photos of my dead sister while she cried into my shoulder. To this day even looking at Ona gives me the creeps I'd rather not look at photos of dead toddlers, my Mum hasn't got the message yet apparently as she smiled at me and pats the seat next to her on the couch.

I place my cello at the front door and sit next to my teary-eyed Mum "Mum why do you do this to yourself looking at Ona only makes you depressed" I say this carefully as the wrong thing will only make her more upset, and when she's upset she yells.

"When you have a baby lamb you'll understand" I pat her thigh and get off the couch I give her a pained smile "Mum stop blaming yourself for her death OK?' I have repeated this phrase much time to my Mum and Dad, over the course of 18 years they never listen I shut my bedroom door and sigh fucking adults. I open my palm and stare at the dino placing it on my night stand, weird dude I think as I flop on my bed.
--------------------------------------- I wake up each day to Effy calling me at 6 to get ready for school, gotta love Effy I think pressing accept on my shitty flip phone "Hey Al, you better be up by the time I'm there, throw your scrawny butt in the shower alright and for the love of god brush your hair" Effy says her Effy has a deep voice for a girl, she always has even when we were little. I throw my ginger hair in a messy bun ignoring Effy's advice of taming my usually ratty hair, Effy her royal cuntiness hates when I don't brush my hair she says it looks like a hobo's beard. Gotta love Effy I'm ready in 10 minutes my backpack slung over my shoulders, I hear Effy honk 2 times "Cool it with the horn" I yell as I walk out of my apartment complex Effy flips me off, what a gal I think opening her shitty car door. "Jesus Al your fucking hair," Effy says handing me a Starbucks cup I take it drinking deeply, "It's a new trend Eff all the kids are doing it get with the times" Effy snorts as she pulls out off my part of San Diego she attempts to apply lip gloss almost swerving on the sidewalk, "Jesus I remember why my Dad hates me being in the same car as you!" I say as Effy hands me her tube of dollar store lip gloss to apply, "Piss off man would you rather take the bus" I shiver I took the bus for the first time in a year yesterday, we pull up to school Effy fluffs her dark brown hair and a adjusts her boobs. We walk in the building I'm still drinking my hot coffee Effy stops me suddenly, almost making me drop my drink. "Dude you almost made me spill my drink man," I say glaring at Effy which only makes me look like a carebear, Effy shushes me and points at a group of boys I've never noticed until now "Shut up you see the kid with the medusa he's on my list" I cringe Effy although my best friend, was our school's resident slag queen though she didn't care something I always admired about her " Effy you are not going near him he has a lip piercing, have you any idea where he's been I am not going to the free clinic again I refuse" Effy rolls her hazel eyes " Don't be annoying I've already made out with him" I splutter choking on my drink I know I shouldn't be surprised, this is Effy self-proclaimed slut god. "Fuentes fancy seeing you here, aren't you usually drinking yourself into a coma behind Duncan doughnuts?" Effy says sweetly. "Ahh Munroe it's great to see you off your back and on your feet again," The tall piercing boy says. "Aren't you the charmer" "Don't be cute Munroe your awful at it" They both start laughing I guess this is how to assholes flirt, I decided ages ago its best to not ever interact with Effy's fuck buddies. I notice the three other boys each talking to one and other, too busy to notice us the boy with the long hair and the nose piercing notices me and smiles, I think he feels bad I'm standing awkwardly while my best friend hits on his buddy. "Hey, your Aleeona right? I'm Vic this is Tony and Jaime" I cringe nothing pisses me off more when a person mispronounces my name, "It's Alyona" I say looking up from my drink. "Hey, your dino boy, " I say the boy with the stupid hair smiles. "Hello to you to cello girl, or I guess Alyona I'm Jaime" He offers his left hand a weird sort of greeting for a teenager, I shake anyways as it would be rude not to.
