Loud
By Amilia Moses
I like how whales live, the same schedule everyday, no confusion, no problems. I sometimes wish people were like that. Just the same.
“You know you're being a brat, right.” said Kay, in the grumpiest morning voice known to man.
“Mom always makes waffles,” I say.
A Lot of people think I can't tell when people are being rude, but i do. I just don't know why. Which sometimes can be worse. I was right. Mom always makes waffles, and I don't know why she didn't today. I ended up going to school with an empty stomach, snacking on any peanuts or crumbs left in my pocket while I rode the bus. I think someone may have spoken something to me or said my name, but I was wearing my headphones so the only thing I heard was the muffled voices of idiot teenagers. Well, I guess they're not all idiots. I have my friend

“Morning!” Says my mom, her words piercing through my ears. I love my mom, but for some reason all her words send sharp pains to my brain everytime she speaks. She doesnt mean any harm either, but it's all just too loud.
I sit at the table, cluttered with everyones things, my brothers calculators and math homework he failed to complete the night before, my sister Kays art project, which even though she was the most organized person I know, she could never seem to finish projects on time, probably because she reastarts them over and over again until it's perfect, trust me, ive tried to fix her.
It's all very loud.
“French toast time kids!”
Most species of whales have the exact same schedule. All day everyday. Mating , foraging, socializing, sleeping, migrating, and exploring, and it rarely ever changes.
“Mom, why would you make french toast, you always make waffles, I don't want french toast, I want waffles.”

I raised my hand. “You don't need to remind us, Mr. Whitsky. I already did mine.”
“Well Mars, that's great, but you may want to think about whether others are done.”
I would have said more, but he told me not to.
It's my project, why do I have to worry about other projects when mine is done?
My project is about paint. I'm testing which paint dries slower so I can see which type of paint is better for blending when I paint whales. When I first proposed this idea Mr. Whitsky thought I didn't need to mention the whale part, or I think that's what he said. I wasn't paying very close attention because I was really hungry.
I've never placed in the science fair, Sam does, last year he got first place. Although I'm not sure why I'm even explaining this because now that I think about it, I don't really care.

Sam, he's not an idiot. Actually, he's quite smart. Sams always had better grades than me, been in more clubs, and has been in the yearbook every year. To some people, he seems like a total bag of manure, but he's actually pretty nice. Plus, I havent had to pay for a tutor in years.
Many kids think school is miserable, I dont think it's actually that bad. I take a look at my phone seeing as it is 9:14, with 27 seconds until the bell rings. I do this so I can put my headphones on when the bell rings. I don't like the bell.
I am now arriving at my first period class: Science.
I sometimes like to think my science teacher Mr. Whitsky is a whale because he speaks very fast, and I can't understand him. It's like he is a whale singing when I'm just a girl speaking english.
“Get ready for the science fair everyone! Your projects are due next week!” Exclaimed Mr. Whitsky
