After class, I met David in the hallway. What does he want to talk about..? Why would a guy like him even look at me? I'm worthless..
Davids eyes lit up when they saw me. "Hey there," He said casually. "Hi.." I said, "what did you want to talk about..?"
"Well, marie, this is going to sound crazy.. but the moment I saw you I felt a spark ignite inside my chest. So I decided that I should get to know you."
"What.....?"
"Would you like to go out with me sometime?" He asked.
"Oh, my god.. really?? Of course I would!" I said excitedly.
"Great. Are you free after school?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay, then I'll pick you up at 5."
"Okay!"
"Have a nice rest of the day."
"Okay, you too."
Well...that just happened.
School ended at 3:30 pm and I walked home. I got home at 4 and I ran inside cheerfully. My dad was home... he slapped me.
"You're late!"
"Im sorry dad it's a long walk."
"Don't you give me that shit. It's a 5 minute run. Why didn't you run?"
"I...I had to much stuff..."
I looked at the ground, and my dad forced me to look at him.
"Go get you're goddamn room clean, you bitch."
Then, he punched me...i started crying and I ran into my room and slammed the door. I locked it behind me. I decided that I have had enough. I'm going to run away...I haven't decided where yet, but anywhere is better then here. First, I decided to change into my date clothes and get ready.
I'm not sure why getting ready for my date is my top priority, but it is. I went over to my closet and looked for something nice to wear. I looked through tons of different outfits until I found the right one. I decided on a red laced half shirt and a white skirt with red polka dots on it, they used to be my moms, before she died. Then, I had to do my hair. For my hair, I put it in a long red french braid that hung over my shoulder. Then I put on a white headband.
I packed a bag that contained a hair brush, clothes, shoes, a few snacks. I looked at myself in the mirror, one last time, before opening the window. I went out of the one story window and I took off down the hot streets of California.
I ended up under the school stadium.. I'm not really sure what to do now.. I guess I should wait for david. He said to meet him at the school so he could pick me up, but he hadn't showed yet. Is he going to stand me up..?
