Happy Mask

I wake up no sweat on my head pretty new, Especially scince they made all thermostates always be at 75 degrees or as they call the "perfect" tempeture. I look around and sit up. I see myself with a bad case or bed head and in my camo hoodie the one my mom had but they have not sold anything camo on market since I was twelve and there was still i********:. I smell candle I had burning last night apple pine, my favorite. I turned to see stupid metal leg. I hop to my dresser where the leg is, Iock it in place with a click. I walk to my bathroom to see. Alice take a deep breathe. I hear my breathe escape my lungs like a pin hitting the floor. I see the mask, the stupid happy mask with a creepily joyful smile plastered a cross the mask. I roll my eyes and place it in my school bag. I quickly change into my school uniform and put on a wing of eye liner.I walk down stairs to the sound of something cooking. I walk down stairs to see my mom with her hair down, and no mask on. She is one of the only people I see with there hair down. My mom told when she was my age everyone had there hair down or in these crazy hair styles and would wear things that make them feel special or as her generation called " special snow flacks ". She told me people would put videos online that were sometimes so outlandish and so creative and the internet was a creative outlet an not a news outlet. I look to my left and see my brother sitting at a chair drawing a cartoon character for a animations he wants to have published when her get to japan. Even though mom is cooking and I am around he is so focused. He is always so focused even on his school projects that I would has just put something together last minute and maybe get a C. I am so proud of him. I smirk . I look to the fireplace and see a pick of my father with is strange over bit and large glasses that looked like harry potter's. He was so strange compared to every man I had ever met. He had these star tattoos that repesented me, my mom , and my brother Garrett. Even though my father was aware of what was happening he always found ways to give us freedom that my friend have not experienced in years. I miss him so much. My mom places a plate or strawberry waffles in front of me and Garrett. I take a bit and look at the clock. "dang it ." I say "Ok, I gotta go. " I grab my waffles and wallet " bye guys." I say aloud with a smile on my face. I give both my mom and Garrett a big hug. I grab my house keys and subway pass and walk out the door. " Wait. " says Garrett grabbing my attention. He goes behind me and grabs my mask and hands it to me. He then kneels down and pull my sock to the end of my metal leg. I give him one last hug. " I love you stupid " He whispers as he hugs me. " love you too Dushe." I reply in a whisper . I walk across the street set my mask over my face. I knock on Nick's door he steps out of the door way placing his hands and in his pocket. "Ello " I say with a cheesy bow. " Salutations madam " He say with same amount of cheesiness in his voice. We walk down a few streets to our local coffee shop . I grab a butterscotch latte and Nick got a chai mocha latte. We both finally get to the train station with only a few drops of coffee left in my cup. I throw it away.my eyes dart form person to person seeing who is here. There is a man in a suit with his mask on with a sig in his mouth coming out of the joyful smile in the mask. Another boy close to the same age as Garrett purple mark on his neck. Childish teenagers. lastly I see a girl with a school uniform on with familiar eyes. it was Ella. I tapped her on the shoulder. "Oh Hi " she said in suprise. We hug she felt shivery for some reason. I asked for every ones passess for the train I ask from Nick and Ella I get the tickets to 23rd and Berry. I give tickets to both of them and until the subway comes we make small talk about our weekends. The subway finaly comes We walk in my foot hits the subway entrances with a bang. I stop for a sec and look around to see if anyone noticed. we walk to a couple seats and sit down. I lay my head on Nick's shoulder . And No I do not have a crush on him ! I then close my eyes and wait till we get our stop.
