"Cali! Wake up! Today's Monday, if you'll be late again, ugh! I don't know what to do to you!" I heard mom shout outside my room. She was knocking on the door but it won't affect me. I'm a hard headed girl.

　　After ten minutes, I still didn't open the door for mom. She loses and I win. She gives up and she just let me sleep. I tried to stand up but my head hurt so I ended up lying down again on my bed staring at the ceiling.

　　Mom's right, if I'll keep being late at school, there's a possibility they'll kick me out. And what will happen to a girl like me? I'm a bad girl, they say, no school will accept me because of my bad records.

　　C'mon Cali, fight against this headache and move! You don't wanna be late, right? I convinced myself to stand up and to start moving. Full of strength, I stand up but it's like a heavy force pushed me back to the bed.

　　What's happening to me? I didn't drink alcohol last night, right? But why does my head hurt so much?! Fuck it! I can't move! I thought it's because I'm still sleepy so I slapped myself but nothing happened. Maybe I'm becoming crazy, tss.

　　I lay down my head slowly on my most comfy pillow. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Maybe I'll just need to calm down myself. After ten minutes of relaxing I slowly got up and the headache got away, thanks god.

　　I arranged my bed first then I reached the towel on the pole and walked inside the bathroom. I turned the faucet and the clear water started occupying the tub. I poured three drops of conditioner and the tub became bubbly.

　　I make my move faster so that I won't be late, I don't wanna be kicked out. Yeah I'm a bad girl but I wanna finish my studies. I wanna work hard and make a business and if I'll get plenty of money, I'll make a mansion. That's my dream, lol.

　　I grabbed the towel. I wiped it on my body then I rolled it after. I put my messy hair at my back and walked out in the bathroom. I opened my walk-in closet and I stared at it for a while. What will I wear? Should I wear the uniform of the school? Or I'll make my own outfit of the day?

　　I remembered the last words of Ms. Violet. That day and time, it gets me shivered. She told me that if I'll get a record again, there's nothing she can do but to kick me out. Ms. Violet is the principal of the school I'm studying and it means that she can do what she wants to the school without someone stopping her.

　　I didn't shivered because she'll kick me out, I, I— don't understand why! It's like an unbelievable thing will happen to me because of those words. Nevermind, keep going Cali.

　　I grabbed the uniform of the school and immediately wore it. I'll just wear it because I don't wanna be kicked. That's all, okay? I'll stay a bad girl and that won't change at all.

　　After preparing myself, I ran downstairs to eat. I slowed walking when I saw mom sleeping on the couch. Maybe she woke up so early that's why she's knocked down. I tried my best not to make any sound so that mom will stay asleep.

　　If she'll wake up? Maybe she'll scold me because I didn't open the door for her earlier. She's just worried about me. She wants me to finish my studies for a good future, for me and for her.

　　I got a plate and a pair of spoon and fork from the cabinet and placed it on the table. I put rice, bacon and egg on the top of the plate and started eating. I closed my eyes while chewing the food. It tastes so good! I wonder why mom's not a chef. Well honestly, she's good at cooking, you know.

　　I glanced at mom and she's still lying on the couch, sleeping. After eating, I put the plate and the spoon and fork in the sink. I washed my mouth using my hands and I wiped it using the towel provided near the refrigerator.

　　Okay, I'm all done! Oh, not yet, I still need to brush my teeth, but, I don't have enough time. Uh, I'll just make it faster. I grabbed my toothbrush and put it little toothpaste and I started to brush it on my teeth.

　　Up and down. Up and down. Up and down. Up and down.

　　And it's done! I put back the toothbrush on where I got it. I wiped again my mouth using the towel and after, I ran as fast as I could upstairs to get my backpack in my room. I already put it in my head, you know, that I don't wanna be late. It's glued there and it won't be erased anymore, I think, lol.

　　I combed my hair and I arranged my uniform then I grabbed my backpack. I looked at myself in the mirror. It's the perfect face that everybody wanted. My pinkish lips are so admirable to all men out there. Then my eyes, it's perfect. I'm not boastful, it's true. Hundred percent true, no lying.

　　But my eyes, it's my first time to see my eyes like this. I think it has hidden emotion? Worried? Am I worried? For what? Wait, I looked at the clock hanging on the wall and my eyes widened when I saw it. Seven o'clock?!

　　And a blink of an eye, I already reached downstairs. How did I do that? Uh, nevermind. I need to hurry now. Once again, I DON'T WANNA BE LATE. I didn't bother to say goodbye to mom because she's sleeping. I walked out and slowly closed the door.

　　I stopped by a waiting shed and sat down. I sighed. My eyes went looking around and I saw a school bus sign near the waiting shed so I decided to wait for it. But after five minutes, the bus I've waiting for didn't arrive. It makes me wonder, why would they put a sign of a school bus there if there's no school bus will arrive? Ugh! They tricked me!

　　I ran as fast I could. I didn't bother how far the school was from here. What's on my mind right now is YOU SHOULDN'T BE LATE BECAUSE IF YOU WILL, YOU'RE DEAD. I don't know what to do if they'll kick me out! Am I going to be a street child begging for money and food? No. That's not gonna happen, ever.

　　I think I'm just overthinking so I empty my mind and focused on running until I reached the school gate. Woah! Do I need to fill up the form to become an athlete? I shook my head. I didn't expect I could run that fast. But.. I'm exhausted now. I don't think I can think normally during the class. My knees are trembling.

　　I continued walking inside the university and there's only a few students walking around or were they just doing the task given by their teacher? My heart started beating fast. I'm nervous, don't tell me that I am late? I shook my head. No, I'm not late, I convinced myself so that I won't get nervous.

　　As I walked on the hallway, all the students were already in their perspective classroom and their teacher was already teaching. I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip. I breathe heavily. From afar, I saw a girl walking towards me and she stopped right in front of me.

　　"Hi! You're Cali, right?" she asked and smiled at me and I smiled awkwardly.

　　"Hello," I waved my hands. "What's the matter?" I asked, still smiling at her. Did I become famous because I could run so fast? Lol, just kidding.

　　"Didn't you hear the announcement from the office?"

　　I shook my head. "What is it?" she just smirked at me.

　　"Maybe you really don't know, I'm not into spoiling. You should check it by yourself," she said and walked away.

　　I stared at her until she's gone. Announcement? What could it be? I straight ahead to the office and there, I saw Ms. Violet standing.

　　"Good morning ma'am," I greeted and smiled at her.

　　"Did you already hear the news from the students?" she asked.

　　"W-what is it?" I stuttered. She crossed her arms and looked at me emotionless.

　　"You're expelled."
