Ruth-less

The Life I Live

(FINISHED) 

Yo wassup my name is Ruth-Lee Hallmen and I am 18 years old. You may know my mother Kris-Lee Hallman. She's pretty damn famous. She's seen everywhere - billboards, magazines, media and so on. See, since I have a famous mom, that makes me famous by default and I DON'T want that. I just want to be a normal teen... But like I said, it's so hard when everyone is swooning around you, asking for your moms autograph and only wanting to be friends with a famous model's kid.

All except for my two real friends, Faith and Luke. They have been with me since first grade. Luke calls himself my "bodyguard" because when people swarm me he's usually the one to push everyone away and yell at them to go away. He does a lot of yelling - like a lot! So we call him our boy Hatsune Miku and because of it he dyed his hair blue to match hers. Faith: I feel like Faith is my sister. It's almost like I have known her since I was born. Except Her mom isn't famous and is actually really cool. Most of the time I go to Faith's house after school instead of my own. Her mom has gotten so used to me being there that she calls me her kid as a joke. Sometimes I wish it wasn't a joke.

But today is a different day. I'm not going to go to Faith's house after school. I'm not gonna have Luke to protect me. I'm not going to have my friends with me today. I have to go to work with my mom and she wants me to wear this painfully tight dress for live TV. So, I get up and turn my alarm off, then open my closet. Most of my clothes are black and baggy but behind all of that is a bright eye twisting pink dress. I slowly try to squeeze into this dress. When I look in the mirror it looks so unfitting with my hair colors. It's honestly ment for a blue eyed blondie who only focuses on their looks. That person is MY. MOM. Speaking of the demon herself she comes knocking on my door and as usual then just barges in.

"OH RUTIE honey that dress looks so pretty on you." I know she is lying because she hates my hair and probably wishes I left it blond like hers, but that's why I changed it: because it looked like hers. She gives me a great big hug smothering me in her chest.

"Mom stop, I don't even want to go,'' I say as I rub my arm out of uncomfort.

Soon then Mom's new boyfriend walks in.

"Well well well who paid you a grand to put that on,'' he jokes but it actually kinda hurts. That's mostly the reason I never wore dresses. People

always make some joke, making me feel uncomfortable.

"Come on Rulin!''
That's my actual name. Yep, my full damn name is Rulin-Lee Hallman. It's a stupid name to name your kid that is like calling your kid Patience or canned dog food so I shortened it just to Ruth but my mom will call me Ruthie and I HATE IT!

"Mom don't call me that it's Ruth" she sighs

"riight your still not happy with the name I gave you, you know one day you will appreciate that name when your a model like me honey" she continues rambling on-n-on while we're in the car about how i'll grow out of this rebel-phase thing and when I do i'll be a model and have a wonderful husband like she even knows what it's like to have a "wonderful" husband since her's left as soon as she became round with a baby but that's the only time she actually embraced having some body weight to her

"man fuck models" I mumble under my breath

"im sorry honey what was that" out of panic I said

"wha- oh uh love models there just so cool like you you know" that is not at all what I wanted to say when we get there they're are a lot of teens like me with their famous parents they all probably want to be there unlike me when I walk in it's so crowded there are way to many people here it almost feels like I can't breathe but I don't know why I can't breath I feel anxious and worried about this "live TV thing" and the photo shoot after I can't seem to move or slow my breathing. What is this feeling? Then one of the ladies who work with the models came up to me and she must have seen my worried expression
