Sober/ Rachel’s pro

Opening up was never one of my strong suits but I guess that's on me. Sometimes I think how things would be if I were normal. But instead my emotions change every single day and moment. I never have a say in how I feel and that makes me feel even more useless. I have always been the kind of girl that struggles with addiction because the way I see it, drugs are the way to my happiness. Sometimes I would feel like I had nothing better to do. I could tell Sara saw something was wrong but I didn't want to talk...

It's one of those days I can feel it and I am not ready. It was a Monday morning and time to go back to school again like any other day but this particular day I did not want to go. This was the day that all the popular kids have a parade for being the most annoying people there could possibly be but not really. But of course there was Josh, my older brother also the quarterback of the schools royally treated football team but unlike all the other popular kids my brother has a brain and doesn't act like a total douchebag. Also there's his girlfriend Barbara, one of the smartest girls in school and our schools student council president. I actually kinda like her even though she forced me to be her vice president by begging me to stop.

The only reason I agreed is because my brother offered me 50 dollars a week if I do it. So now I wake up to 50 dollars on my dresser every Monday which is very satisfying considering the fact that lunch costs money. I woke up and the first thing I did was glance at my dresser and there sat my usual 50 dollars. The reason why my brother won't wake me and hand it to me is because the last time he woke me up at 6:00 I screamed at him. Now he just makes sure I wake up at 6:40 on the dot. I woke up and I looked at the clock "yup 6:39." the door opened "oh cool you're up" my brother spoke with his head half way in the door. "Yeah, " I replied to him.

When i got down stairs the first thing i saw was my dad sitting at the table reading the newspaper with his favorite orange suit. My dad is one of the weirdest people you will ever meet. Sometimes he reminds me of peewee. My mother on the other hand is the complete opposite most of the time she reminds me of monica addams from the addams family. My mother's favorite thing is wearing black. Although my mom was sick she always made sure we had food to eat in the morning. My mom always makes 2 extra plates, because my best friend Carter and barbra come every morning and take their plates on the way to school. Barbra drives a van so she's able to fit me, Josh, Jenny, and Carter all in the same car. But I take my car and take Carter with me. And so she drops Jenny off at elementary school. When we walked into the school Josh suddenly stopped and turned to look at me.

¨ Hey Rachel did you see the news?¨ Josh asked.

¨Yea its pretty crazy¨

Last night the news talked about what happened with Luis Santiago, a guy that got sick and then went crazy and attacked some people. One of the security guards whose name was Francisco Perez died in the hospital from the neck wound he had gotten from Luis. Then three hours later Maria and the other guard Gabriel nunez died in their hospital beds. Down in the morgue Francisco awoke and he killed the forensic pathologist that was about to do an autopsy on him. When the nurse's brought Maria and Gabriel to the morgue they were killed. The hospital began to become like ground zero with infected people running around killing everyone. Before the police could come and quarantine the hospital a hundred of the infected people made their way out of the hospital and into the surrounding neighborhoods. Mexico began to be flooded with infected people who died and somehow came back to life. Militaries around the world put up fences and walls to keep the infected people in mexico.

¨all those people getting sick is insane¨ Barbra said.

¨yea just hope it doesn't spread¨ i responded.

¨ let's go, we are going to be late¨ Carter let me know.

¨okay bye josh, barbra, see you guys tomorrow.¨

When me and Carter walked into Mrs. Turner's class I stopped to look at Sara sitting at her desk. On the side of me Carter was trying to get my attention. All of a sudden a book hit me in the stomach.

¨ow what was that for?¨

¨i asked you a question¨

¨what?¨

¨where do you sit?¨

¨over there, I said as I pointed to my seat. why did you switch your class to mine?¨ I asked as I walked to my seat.

¨because i don't like mrs.baxter.¨

¨ Hey Sara, this is carter¨ I said as I took my seat.

¨hey carter¨

¨hola sara¨

The class went silent once Mrs.Turner began to speak ¨ok class today everyone will be getting paired up with there lab assistants for this year i choose who i thought would thrive best together so i hope you guys feel comfortable with your groups.¨ he announced each group one by one then he got to my name. ¨rachel myrtile, sara brace, carter london, and lexi freeman you are group 6¨

¨great were paired up with lexi¨ carter cried.

¨I don't like being paired up with you guys either¨ lexi let us now as she sat at the lab table.

¨well i don't mind it sara explained.¨

The rest of class fell silent as each of us focused on our assignments that Mrs. Turner had given us…
