when your boyfriend says you need a break bc there’s been sm going on even tho you’ve only dated for 1 month and haven’t hung out in real life yet and have only been on the phone once for less than two minutes. he was number 6 on your bsfs list bc you always responded in less than 20 minutes but he sometimes took 22 hours and 48 minutes to respond and you actually really liked him even tho it wasn’t serious yet but he told your bsf before he said you needed a break that he was gonna do it and your bsf didn’t do anything to stop him or try and figure it out before your heart got absolutely shatttered😍

Break

1-2 weeks away from school, which is the perfect time to do all your homework. Yes, even those 3 essays, and those 5 past exam paper, since a childs life revolves around school and parents. You also have to help your parents out with chores.

If your homework isnt done by the end of the break, and you used your break to "relax" or have a day out, you will be punished with a detention.
