It's just the beginning of another school day and the phone rests at ease. It's 5:30 and time to spring into action. It blares out the alarm bracing itself for the hard slap it gets due to Sabrina's annoyance. It reveals the weather and gets slapped facedown onto the nightstand and waits around until its time to go. As the usual it gets carelessly thrown into my backpack in the rush. It awaits to be brought out ready to use its multilingual abilities. It searches for the most recent tweets. It helps Sabrina study her new Korean Vocab and sometimes sends a quick reminder to Sabrina's mom in Spanish. Then as the bus arrives at school it is hastily thrown back into the backpack.
It sees the familiar yellow lockers and alerts Sabrina of a new message from her Madre. Time passes and it is shoved into a pocket as Sabrina makes her way to class. Once in class it keeps silent in order to not disrupt class.
The end of the school day rolls around after a dreadfully long period and it reminds Sabrina that she has an orchestra rehearsal in 15 minutes. It is placed in a pocket and has to sit through a torturous rehearsal where some cat must be dying. Thankfully, it didn't witness any of the torturing. Around 5:30 it gets thrown into the yellow locker where it sits patiently awaiting 9 when it will send a message to Sabrina's dad that the concert is over. Then it will go home and the everyday school cycle repeats itself.
