Adopted by Magcon:Unwanted

•1•

I sit in my small room with only a bed, a closet, and a few posters, ready for school.

"SPENCER!!!!" I hear from downstairs. I hope she doesn't hit me before school.

WORLD STOP:
Ms.Keisha, is the rude old lady that is in charge of this place. She abuses me along with the other kids my age and older. The younger kids are my only friends.
CARRY ON.

I grab my backpack and rush downstairs.
"Yes Ms.Keisha," I say shyly and as sweetly as I can.
I've tried so hard to get myself to say something to her to defend myself.
I know I'm ten and all, but the things I've been through have forced me to grow up. So yes, I'm smart and all, Vocabulary and all that jazz, but I act like a regular kid.

"Stop trying to be cute, your little ugly ass will NEVER BE CUTE!" she yells.
A tear slips and then slap.
I can't believe she slapped me for nothing.

I just nod.

Then she says, "I only called your little fat ass down here to tell you your bus is here. Put some water on your cheek to hide that mark of yours."

At this moment, I would kill to have the confidence to tell her that if she didn't hit me, I wouldn't have that problem.

But, I just do it and get on the bus.

When I get to School, I walk in to see the clique that bullies me.
"Hey Spencer!" I turn thinking someone actually wants me, but it's just Brinn, AKA, Queen bully.

It really bugs me that they think it's okay to treat me like this.

After they kick me around a little, and call me hurtful names, and I shed a few tears, I walk to class.
I'm only in 5th grade by the way.

So, I walk to the bus, after school and my cycle of being bullied and abused, begin again.

I go into the bathroom and cut a few more little lines.

Tomorrow's Saturday as well as adoption day.

I lay my head down, skipping dinner because I'm fat enough already.

All I do is pray,'please let me be lucky tomorrow... new school and a new life'.

With that on my mind, I slowly fall asleep.
