ENC 1101-B3 & B4: Writing for Discovery

Monday

It is 6:30 in the morning on Monday. Monday’s are always the worst day of the week. This Monday would probably turn out to be the worst Monday of my entire life. I crawled out of bed and got dressed for school. It was my senior year of stupid high school and I was so beyond ready to graduate and get out of my family’s crazy house. My mother always cooked me a good breakfast in the morning. In my half awaken and half sleeping state, I charged down the stairs following the smell of her famous eggs and bacon, when I suddenly stumbled and landed at the bottom of the stairs flat on my face.
"Deveroux, honey, are you alright?" inquired my mother.
"I’m fine I think. What a great way to start the day huh mom?" I muttered.

My parents are pretty cool because on my 18th birthday, they bought me a 2003 Mustang Convertible. After I recovered from my little fall, I left for school stopping along the way to pick up my best friend since my birth, Axel. We were at a red-light, chilling, and talking about life. My parents always asked me why I didn’t date Axel but they just don’t understand the true friendship we had. Dating would only ruin it.

Anyway the street light suddenly turned green. I pressed my foot on the gas and started to drive when out of nowhere a Jeep Cherokee moving at about 50 miles per hour, ran his light and T-boned the side of my brand new Mustang, causing my car to 180 into a telephone pole.

To make things worse it was a hit and run and the guy in the Jeep took off probably never to be seen again. He left his bumper and some headlights at the scene of the crime. Haha, sucks for him I thought, but the damage on his car was nothing compared to the damage to mine. Luckily my best friend and I were still alive and breathing, but the car was totaled. This Monday was getting better and better by the minute. I then had to deal with the incompetent police officers about what happened while making sure they knew it was in no way my fault.

"Ma’am, can I see your license and registration please?" asked the officer.
"Crap…I left my license in my pants pocket from yesterday. Is that a problem officer?" I questioned.
" Well Ma’am, today they passed a new law stating that if a driver does not have his/her license at hand during an accident, even one not their fault, than that person will be fined and no insurance will go towards their totaled vehicle." The officer told her.
"That is such bullshit! Could this day get any worse?" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I arrived at school late and headed towards my College Algebra class. I hated College Algebra and was border-line failing the class. When I went to class today the teacher gave a pop quiz which I definitely was not prepared for. It made my heart drop because if I failed this quiz I would fail the class for sure because it was so close to the end of the semester. That would then lead to a grounding from my parents and no one likes to be grounded. Well I failed the quiz with flying colors like I knew I would. I was at the point were I just wanted to die.

Axel thought that leaving campus for lunch might make me feel better so we went to Wendy’s.Old Fashioned Hamburgers to eat. There was a bum looking guy standing in front of me in line when all of a sudden he pulled out a gun and told everyone to freeze, get down on the ground and hold up there wallets and jewelry. Great I thought. I had just gone to the ATM yesterday and took out 150 bucks and had all of it in my wallet. He took that plus my 3 credit cards. I was also wearing a real gold and diamond ring that my grandmother gave me before she died. Axel, that lucky son of a bitch, did not have more than 7 dollars, or a license because he did not drive, nor credit cards. His parents would not let him have one. The bum took everyone’s wallets and fled the scene probably never to be seen again for he was wearing a mask and no one saw what he looked like.

"This is the best day of my entire life," I moaned, "Now I am poor and got nothing to eat for lunch. What more could possibly happen to me on this wonderful Monday?"

Well I walked back to school and finished off the day with what seemed like no problems. Maybe the bad luck streak was over, but probably not. All I wanted to do was go home and take a nice hot bath, then a nice relaxing nap to forget about all of the days problems. I got on the school bus because I had no car anymore. As long as the school bus got me home safely, I did not care about riding on it. The school bus driver was a new driver and this was his first day on the job. There is a sharp curve on the way to my house and this driver was inexperienced. He seemed to forget to slow down to go around the curve, and ended up tossing the bus on its side sliding down the road. Everyone was flipping out, and crying, but no one was hurt except for me of course. I got crushed between two really, really fat kids and …well…I died.

After surviving all of my daily problems and catastrophes I was killed suffocating underneath two fat kids in a flipped bus. I mean, why did I even think that the rest of the day would be good? I was an idiot. No one else died except me. Well now I never have to live through another Monday again.
