My day starts off at 10:40am. I wake up to find it being this late on a school day. I think to myself "maybe school canceled". I check the school website to see no updates of delays/cancellation. I then check my phone, I have a friend with a scanner who get school info faster than we do, so I usually have a text from him saying so. I had nothing. I got up, got dressed, thinking my mom let my stay since her and I were up until 3:30am cleaning the house and reorganizing shoes and jackets. I got to my step brothers' room to see all three still sleeping. I then thought it was canceled. I check the phone to see two messages. One from OHP (my school) and one from Benjamin Logan High (the older two's school). I stuck with the idea of there being cancellations so I texted my mom about it. After six or seven texts of mass confusion on both ends we find out she slept in.
I have no alarm clock of any kind. The cell phone use to, but doesn't now.
She called the middle school and high school of Ben Logan to tell them the kids are late, but get a surprising response when they ask "Isn't Ryan Sick". Apparently, they were up at 9am when the schools called and the middle of the two answered the call for the middle school and said Ryan was sick and puking. Mom yelled and screamed at him for lying to the school.
Mom got my step brothers up and we all got ready and she raced to the two schools to drop us off.
I got to school in time to eat lunch within five minutes.
my very late arrival had completely sabotaged my chances of getting my laptop for free from perfect attendance... now I need $100 to buy the laptop and nobody seems to have it.

I come home to my dad's house ready to ask him about graduation stuff and the laptop thing.
My dad makes over twice as much as my mom a day and works 5 days a week. Usually if it's money related, we leave it to him... but I hadn't been to his house very much so he didn't have to spend as much money on me this year, last year, and the year before that. So I figured it wouldn't be too much of a hassle to ask about the laptop price.

I asked about convocation and graduation. He was suppose to invite his side of the family to those, he didn't confirm who he invited, but they apparently can only attend graduation.
I asked about Senior Awards Night at my home school (Ben Logan), he said he got the e-mail, but didn't say he was coming.
I asked about the dress shirt and tie. He said the shirt was at the cleaners, this new clean shirt.
Then I popped laptop question and he said he wasn't going to pay for it.

I was already sore with him from last Friday when I had told him about him Final Exams being just about all A's, my near final grades being A's and B's. Much to me surprise, he didn't care.

For 13+ years he's been riding my ass about school work. School Work!School Work!School Work!School Work!School Work!School Work!School Work!School Work!School Work!School Work!

-bold is what I dealt with up until now (read if you really wanna know)-

He knocked me across the head with his class right in my earlier years, and he spanked me until sixth grade. Then he yelled and screamed at me until freshman year, and to top it all off, he played favorites. He always favored Z over me. If we both did something bad, he'd make sure she got the lecture and I got the beating. about half way through Sophomore year, I had an argument with him over the phone and that was when he openly admitted that he liked Z more than me. That's when I left his house for a whole year and a half. I spent my Senior year visiting him only on Tuesdays (except for last friday because I needed convocation clothes).

So recently, He's been a real ass to me and I am not sure why. I ended up sleeping until it was time to go back to mom's house.

I get on and almost immediately get in an argument with my mate over character changes. I tried to keep my composure and not redirect my anger, but now I can't tell if I'm doing a good job...

I am really disliking this tuesday... I hope it ends soon...

-Days until last day for laptop payments [2]-
