There should be a rule that jerks co label on their forehead That way, people know to stay clear of them It should be mandatory the same way it is with food labels

Soy knows not to eat a Snickers bar

The outside should match the inside However, I know that is not to be the case My sister is the perfect example of this It isn’t fair for the façade to hide the truth Sooggles but for character

I shake er probleht now than this dumb invention

Like which floor I should sleep on

In the bedroo room? Definitely not on the kitchen tiles or the bathroom floors

It’s still warm out for the next few hours With the central air off, the heat will rise to the bedroom

Downstairs it is Lucky me

Toht, I’ll suck it up on the floor

I explore the place for the coolest roo into the family room

I sit so ainst the wall and close my eyes There is no way I can stay like this I’ll never fall asleep I have no pillow

Nothing to sleep on

I look down at the sweatshirt that I’ it, but it gets so cold in class And by the time I knock out, the temperature will drop, then I’ll need a triple layer

But for now, I succumb to the fluff and decide to use it as a pillow

Once the cotton is off my skin, I feel much better

My skin cools

I ball it up and prop it beneathmy knees into the fetal position

The level of power Trent Aldridge yields is unmeasured

He could use this power to better people To build theth to protect, not crush

Now is no different

I refuse to let myself fall to pieces

My eyes close, and I take a deep breath

Nothing can be worse than that

A creak wakes me up

I’ I’ve been sleeping, but I’le to adjust to the darkroom

There is no light, and I can’t risk the sound of searching for my phone, but a sh to see anything I gaht

Not fast enough

“Isn’t this cozy?” a familiar voice says
