Eggs

“Eggs again?” I asked my mom sitting down for another Monday morning breakfast. She only hummed tossing the eggs gently with her spatula. “Your eggs are nasty,” I said trying to evoke a response.
“Sunny-side up,” she said smiling sliding the white oozing mess onto my plate. Geeze, I thought, if she would just pay more attention to the eggs, they’d be fine. Nothing bothered me more than her eggs. With a prolonged sigh, I dipped my fork into the white part. My tongue revolted; the egg was bland and runny. The yolk was even worse. It stuck to the roof of my mouth, and I felt its artificial flavor cling to my taste buds. It was a complete disaster! “Did these eggs come from chickens or factories?” I asked wiping the egg particles from my mouth. I left for school without touching the rest of my decidedly bad egg.
Even though I left early for school, before I knew it the 8:16 bell rang before I even walked in the building. In the process of running to chemistry, my books slid across the floor. A girl stopped to help but I much too busy screaming profanities down the hallway to care.
Four painful classes later it was lunch. I was standing in the lunch line with my friend Liz when Katherine-the-creature started talking to me. “How was your weekend?” she asked revealing her yellow teeth. “It was awful,” I replied, “I got grounded and my phone got taken away. That’s why I couldn’t text you back to say I couldn’t make it to the mall Saturday. Sorry!”
“Oh don’t worry about it,” Katherine smiled. I waved as she crept away on her boney chicken legs. Like I’d really hang out with her! As she passed within earshot, I laughed. Liz stared at me utterly confused. “She looks like an ugly-ass-tranny-hobbit!” I howled. Surprisingly, Liz didn’t even smile. In fact, she only displayed a look of distain and ignored me the rest of lunch.
At 3:05, I was more than excited to get home. “What a way to begin the week,” I said plopping myself in front of the television. Why was everything going so badly? My friends hate me, I’m failing chemistry, and it all started with… eggs. That’s right! It was that stupid, artificial old egg I ate this morning. Hmm, who knew one bad egg could do so much harm?
