"Kids". "Yes mom"? "Sit down we need to talk" mom said while giving us a slight smile. "You guys are gonna move back to Windown". I don't wanna go back to Windown, I'm finally happy in my school and my friend group. I don't wanna move back to the cruel city I once lived in.

"Mom I don't want to"! "You guys need to move back, I'm gonna stay here and you guys are gonna move back with dad". I don't wanna move away from mom, I don't wanna move in with dad. I wanna stay here with mom. I like it here, I get the attention from mom, I get the attention from school. All the teachers love me, the principal loves me, my teacher likes me, I have good friends that aren't fake and actually like me. I feel wanted here yk?

Back at dad's house I feel like he doesn't pay much attention to me. Jason is obviously his favourite and it's hurtful. I mean Jason is his child by blood and I'm not. He hasn't even bothered to officially adopt me yet. Nice to know he wants me. At mom's house I feel a connection, maybe it's because she's my mother by blood, but still I love it here. She can beat me all she wants to, she can manipulate me all she wants, I'll never change my opinion. We talked about the plans, how we would visit and what the schedule would look like. I HATE THIS!! I need to stay here. Plus mom needs me. How is she gonna take care of herself? Half of the time she will forget where she misplaced things. She forgets what she needs to get the moment we get to the store, she always needs me to remind her about the groceries. How is she gonna remember without me? What if she runs out of food? What if she forgets to get toilet paper? So many things can happen when it can be avoided by me being here.

We eventually moved back with dad and now I'm back at my old school. I struggled a lot with school. My teacher hates me so much. I failed math, everyone here has been taught this stuff. Since I was in a different school we werent gonna be taught this stuff till next year, now I look like the dumb kid. How do you go from A+ to C-??!! I don't understand where I went wrong. I'm failing now. I wish I was back at the place I starred the most. At least Adam was here with me. He's from my church, he goes to the same school and we've always been in the same class. He's my BestFriend, we have always been friends since the day we met. He's been by my side and I've been by his. He's so smart though. How does he do it? I don't understand how half of these kids keep up with this bullshit. Literally I'm dying inside right now.

Our teacher gave us this sheet that we need to fill. Everyday we needed to read a minimum of 30 minutes and we had to have our parents' signature to reassure we did the work. I never did it. Someone came up with this stupid decision to have a contest between the two classes. If we add up everyone's time, what class had the most time. We had to line up behind the computer and add our name and the time beside our name. Picture this: the whole class is watching and I had 0 minutes written down. I went up and he looked at my sheet and the teacher embarrassed me in front of everyone, literally straight up making fun of me. I laughed it off and said I forgot to write down the time, and that I had read 40 minutes that day. He rolled his eyes and laughed in doubt. I looked at him waiting for him to mark down my 40 minutes. He finally wrote it down and I walked back to my seat. Everyone was staring at me like I was a fool. I mean I was, I should have done the work but I was lazy, I guess karma got me pretty good this time.
