Austin
To be honest this is probably our fifth move in the last two years. Ever since my mom and my dad got divorced, we've been on the run from him. My dad is an alcoholic as you can imagine he beat both my mom and me. Once it got so serious I ended up in the hospital in a coma for a week. At that point my mom thought enough was enough and she had to get away from our father so he wouldn't hurt me. I always had a great relationship with my mom, she was always there for me, but I never got along with my dad, he always called me names and told me I was weird, that I got this from my mom. Trust me, when you grow up with a parent like that, you start to believe it. I was both mentally and physically abused and as if that wasn't enough I was bullied at my previous school. The boys noticed that I was different from the others and started doing things to me like locking me in the bathroom taking my school supplies and often physically and verbally assaulting me. Did you ever feel like getting back at them? To punch them in the face and get all that anger off your chest? I did, it got to be too much so I waited for Chad, the main guy who was doing it all to me. He thought because he was the captain of the football team he could bully the others. He wasn't that tough without his poor friends. I painted his face so badly he ended up in the hospital with broken ribs and of course I got kicked out of school, so there was another move. This time I hope it's the last time. I hate moving, I'm still the "new kid" at school. We moved from Palm Coast to Miami. My mom got a job teaching elementary school here. Even though I was often in trouble my mom always studied with me so my grades were excellent. I always enjoyed music and singing, so I applied to the Miami Conservatory. I dream of one day becoming very successful so I can fulfill my dream and help my mom who is having a hard time financially. I'm going to get a job and help her out a little bit. I honestly don't know where to start but I believe something will come up, I just hope it's as soon as possible. My birthday is coming up and I would really like to have my own car. Until now I have been borrowing my mom's car I have some money saved up but I still have enough left to buy a new one.
"Honey, wash your hands and come and eat I cooked the spaghetti you like so much".
I went to wash my hands and kissed my mother on the cheek. My mom asked me if I liked it here and if I was looking forward to school. Honestly, I'm not super excited, but of course I'm not going to tell my mom that. Yesterday I saw an ad for an auto mechanic so I stopped by today and got a job. I haven't told my mom about it because she's not happy about it and says she doesn't want me to work. She wants me to focus on school so I can go to college.
" Mom, I'm going to go dinner was delicious, say goodnight and I love you.
"I love you too, honey, sleep well until school."
"Hooray for school tomorrow" I don't want to go, but I have to. Hopefully there won't be any idiots like at my last school because I can't handle it anymore. Hopefully I'll meet someone normal there, please God let me make it through tomorrow and make some friends, thank you.

I was woken up by an alarm clock alarm now I'd be happy if there was a baseball bat next to me so I could smash my phone with it! I hate getting up early, I've never been an early bird, I've always been a night owl. I wonder if it's just me or if you always set your alarm early too and then just watch a ticking video stream and wait for your brain to fully wake up. After 30 minutes of watching the video I resolved to get out of bed go take a bath brush my teeth my mom had already made me breakfast and went to work. Luckily my school isn't too far away it's only a two mile walk so I don't mind. When I got to the school building I saw a lot of kids I can say that my school is extremely big. There's a lot of beautiful girls here, I'll give you that. I wore black ripped jeans, a white t-shirt and a black leather jacket. When I went to school I went to get my class schedule and was trying to find the history room when I inadvertently bumped into a girl.
" Oh, I'm so sorry I'm clumsy I'm here for the first time today and I feel lost, the building is so big it reminds me of a labyrinth.
"It's okay yes the school is very big and it's harder for a newcomer to navigate but you're lucky because I can help you find your classroom what subject are you currently taking ?
Wow, this girl is very beautiful like that and I didn't even notice her smile until she asked me again. Such an embarrassment on the first day and I'm already embarrassing myself! That's me.
" I have history with Mr. Fitz the first period," I replied.
"I also have my first class with Mr. Fitz so we can go together. Mr. Fitz is very good, he is one of the best teachers in the school and the nicest too. What is your name and where are you from?
"My name is Austin, Austin Mahone and I moved here from Palm Coast, what's your name?
Interesting, I'm so happy to meet Austin, my name is Michelle Jauregui and I'm Cuban but I was born here.
This girl is amazing, if all the girls at this school are so nice and sweet, I believe I'm gonna love this school!
