Personally

chapter 4: Happy Halloween loser

     Tomorrow is Halloween and my mother left me outside in the cold with just my pocketknife and a cracked glitchy phone that I can't even call on. I'm a grateful person I promise... I am... Am I? I gripped my pocketknife and thought about breaking into my own house or should I call it my "mom's" house.

     I went to my best friend CC's house and knocked on the door her mother showed up and she said, " CC is still at school." as she started to close the door.

     "Ok, j-just let me in... please." I said desperately she said, " I'm sorry sweetie but CC isn't ho-." I cut her off and shouted "LISTEN...you don't understand my mom kicked me out and I NEED...HELP."

     "OK...but why are you holding a knife." I rolled my eyes and muttered, " it's a long story I'm coming in now."

     I walked in and I thought the house was huge like bigger than mine I looked at the clock and saw it was 2:59 I had a lot of time to prepare for Halloween tomorrow before CC comes home and sees me fumbling with her clothes. I went in her closet and took a white dress and started to cut it up she wouldn't be mad...right?

      CC comes home from school a little early so, I threw the torn-up dress behind me. "what are you hiding... and why are you holding a knife." CC said in confusion I was panicking really bad because I didn't want to upset her. She walked over to me and snatched the dress from behind me.

     She looked at it with a shocked face and started to cry and in my head, I was thinking why is she crying over a dress...It's a dress.

     She looked at me with anger and shouted "IT WAS A GIFT...FROM MY DAD... and yeah I get it I have daddy issues but I still love him how could you you're supposed to be my best friend."

     After she told her mom on me I was kicked out again at least I still got the dress and my pocketknife. as I walked around the neighborhood mindlessly I saw the new guy from my school I started to run to him but remembered he doesn't even know me and I don't want to get hurt by a guy again.

      I was wearing a torn dress and was carrying a knife he probably was gonna think I was a criminal or maybe it's just me thinking that... which it is so I slept outside his house in the backyard.

     I woke up the next day to see him staring over me and he said, " it's freezing out here why are you here... and I think I've seen you before."

     I said "oh yeah I-I know y-you too um what's your name." he smiled and said, "it's Jason, Jason Island what's yours."

     I nervously said "It's lace... WAIT no it's Lacie yeah Lacie brown." he said in disbelief "Oh you're the girl everyone talks about in school." I act like I didn't hear a word he said and asked "can... I just come in...please." I went into his house and saw a stache of candy for the trick or treaters today but...I knew I was getting over my weight gaining limit but who cares...happy Halloween loser.
