"Come on! Let's go!" I yelled.

We were going to the mall today. I want to get some clothes and stuff before school. They have to sign the papers tomorrow and I have school on monday. So I need supplies.

"We're coming! Just hold on!" Ian yelled back.

I took out my phone and checked Insatgram. Anthony showed me yesterday about it. I followed him and Ian. Also a few other people. I have about 20 followers. For a day, that is a lot.

I posted a selfie about going to the mall. When I posted it, Ian and Anthony finally came to the door.

"Finally! What took you so long?"

"Anthony couldn't find his phone." Ian rolled his eyes.

Anthony threw his arms in the air. "What?! I need my phone!"

"Sure."

Anthony punched him. I walked out the door, rolling my eyes. They followed behind. I jumped in the front of Anthony's car.

We were on the road when Anthony asked, "Why do we have to go to the mall again?"

I sighed, "This is about the hundredth time I told you, I need school supplies and I want to get some things."

"What else could you possibly need!"

"I need a case for my phone so it doesn't drop and break in school and-"

"Wait, you're taking your phone to school?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Just wondering."

"Okay...well I need some clothes too. Most of my clothes don't fit because they are from so long ago. I don't want to run out of clothes during the week."

"Go it."

We rode in silence after that. I was so nervous. I didn't know what the school was going to be like.

When we pulled into the mall, I got out and ran inside. I waited for them to get in before going to the first store. We were there for a few hours before finally going back to the car.

I got some uggs, skinny jeans, t-shirts, a phone case, book bag, and supplies.

We got into the car, tired from the day at the mall. I was happy with what I got. It should last me a while.

After we all caught our breaths, Anthony started the car and we were on the road. I leaned against the window and looked out it. It doesn't take too long to get back to the house. I just wanted to put the stuff away and take a nap.

When we got to the house, they helped me with the bags and I started to unload them.

As I was unloading them, I found the receipts and added up the total. It came up too...

"Four hundred dollars!"

I ran out to the living room and looked at Ian and Anthony.

'Why didn't you guys tell me that you spent that much?"

"We were find with doing it. You needed supplies and clothes. We have jobs and money, remember." Anthony got up and took the receipts. He went to the trash and threw them away.

"But that's a lot..."

"Hey.," He put his hands on my shoulders, "we wanted to get you nice things and that's what we did." He let go of my shoulders and sat back down.

I walked back to my room, seeming as if the conversation was over. I checked instagram, 35 followers now. A few comments saying how pretty I am. Now these aren't people I don't know. There were some girls and boys I knew at the orphanage that were probably adopted. I just don't understand how they find me pretty.

I grabbed my notebook and started drawing how other people see me.

Once I was done I flipped to the next page and drew how I saw me.

Ugly. Pure ugliness. Tears streaming down my cheeks from all the pain I experienced. Bruises on my face from being bullied.

Once I finished I had tears streaming down my cheeks. I wiped them away and threw my notebook on the ground. I don't want to draw anymore.

I checked the clock, it was only 5 o' clock. I still have some time before bed. I walked out of my room, not bothering to close the door cause I don't care, and to the living room. I grabbed an xbox controller and sat on the couch. I then started to play Call Of Duty. I shot their balls like Lasercorn taught me. He said that it was the right way of playing it. I think that he may have been right. Plus, it is pretty fun.

When I finished the round Ian asked to play. I said sure and we started to kill each other. A few times I would sneak up on him but he won. We played a little while before turning it off.

I looked around, "Where's Anthony?"

Ian looked too, "I think he went to his room or something."

I jumped up. I didn't pick up my book! I knew I forgot something!

I ran to my room. When I got there, I was surprised that he wasn't in there. I walked over to where I threw it and picked it up.

I turned around and Anthony was at the doorway. "Can I see?"

I pulled the notebook to my chest. "No!'

Anthony looked hurt. "Why?"

"I just don't want you to see. That's all."

He looked at me. I know he doesn't believe it. "Okay..." He turned and walked out of my room.

I let go of the air that I didn't realize I was holding. I put the notebook away and checked the time. It was 8 o' clock. I still had time.

I put on my beats and plugged them into my phone. I put on Ian and Anthony's latest song, Smash Rap. I loved it. I also liked Anything You Can Do I Can Do Dumber.

I must not have realized I was tired because I fell asleep during Ariana Grande.
