I groaned as I got adjusting to the light that shone throughout my small bedroom. I haven't seen my mother since, I don't know when.

Who knows. She probably is strung out on drugs. I was really hoping to see her when I wake but I knew that, that probably wouldn't happen because she barely cares about me, nor doesn't check on me after my Dad died.

My dad death didn't bother me, because I mainly thought he got what he deserved. I always disliked my dad and barely talked to him, but my mom, she was so in love with him that she didn't notice that he was no good.

I had to go to school today, and it was close for me to start getting ready. I didn't want to go because I was tired and mentally drained of being bullied everyday, just because of my clothes and shoes.

They bullied me because I was a loner, and didn't have no friends and mainly because they thought I was the help while they got silver spoons and forks.

I sighed as I crawled off my mattress that was in the middle of the room. I didn't have a actual bed because I couldn't afford it, and with my mother away money was tight because my 4$ a hour check wasn't working.

But I was still thankful for the small job because it at least helped me pay the bills, even if I barely ate sometimes.

I stood up and screamed as I saw a cock roach in the corner of my room. It was big, and it almost made me want to puke out my insides because of how nasty and disgusting the creatures looked.

I grabbed one of my torn shoes that I had, and threw it at the roach and the roach immediately ran in a hole that was in my wall.

I quickly ran to my bathroom. It was fairly small and barely could fit 2 people in it, it only had a shower and sink.

We didn't have a toilet so we had to use buckets to do our business in. Our apartment was very broken down, but I was grateful because I could of been living on the streets.

I didn't have no siblings, that I knew of and I never knew any of my family because I was never introduced to that side.

Mainly because my mother parents disowned her, and my dad was never around.

I stripped out of my clothes and turned on the shower. I sighed as I placed my hand in the water, the water was cold.

I didn't have the money to pay for the water bill so taking a shower in cold water for now had to work. I finished washing my body up, then quickly stepped out of the shower after I was finished.

I ran a hand through my long hair, as I placed a towel around my face. I looked at my broken and dirty mirror and frowned at my small body.

I had small curves and a small booty, I wasn't like other girls with the big booty and big boobs, my body was more smaller.

I was caramel skinned, and my face was acne free. I walked into my bedroom in dug in my draws for a outfit.

I took out a plain white t shirt and some blue skinny jeans that I got out of the thrift store. The t shirt was not that loose fitted so it would work.

I barely had clothes, so I kept it plain. I slipped on the clothes and slipped up my torn up flats that had holes in it.

This was the only show I could afford, and at this point I barely had money to even pay the bills due to my job about go in closing, so our manager reduced our paycheck.

I brushed my hair, before looking in the mirror. My hair flowed down my back which I liked.

I grabbed my back bag, that had plenty of holes in it and placed it on my back. I sighed before walking outside, and locked the rusty door.

I fast walked to my school, and sighed because I had a long way to go and I was going to be late. I didn't even want to go because I was tired of getting tortured everyday, but I promised my self that I was going to finish school and go to college.
