Ghost girl

Runaway

In Lewiston it was a very small town. Everyone knew everyone. And for Faith that was the problem. She loved her privacy, privacy was the only time she got to herself.

I woke up around 7:35 to get up and get ready for school. 6 more months until school ends. I loved school, it's where I have friends. A life.

I got dressed into a black and white oversized hoodie and Nike shorts and my Nike shoes. I grabbed a waffle and popped it into my mouth as I rushed out the door.

"Bye sweetie!" My mom said. "Bye mom, bye dad! I yelled shutting the door. It was a lighting storm, great. I got on my skateboard and road my way to school. A car zoomed past me, honking at me. "Jesus watch where your fucking going, will you?!" I yelled falling off of my skateboard.

I stood up and walked with my skateboard the rest of the way there. As soon as I got there the bell rang. I have Science in the mornings. Mr. Barry. He says I'm his favorite but everyone knows it's because he's a pedophile.

"Hey Ms. Quinn" he says with a creepy cheeky smile. "Hi Mr Barry" I said vaguely. I sat in the back of the class, waiting for it to be over. Until I heard my name. "Ms. Faith can you tell me the different names there are in one atom?" He asked.

Luckily we practiced this in 5th grade. Easy. "Electrons, newtrons, and protrons" I said. "Very good Ms. Quinn" he said walking around the classroom. The bell rang once he started walking towards me. 'saved by the Bell' I thought. I walked down the hallway and put my stuff in the lockers. Lunch time here I come. But before I could make it to the cafeteria my name was called on the over head speakers.

"Can Faith Quinn come to the office, she needs to go home, Can Faith Quinn come to the office, she needs to go home." The principal repeated. I got my backpack and walked to the office, checked out, and went home.

'why do I have to go home?' I thought. I walked into the house and yelled, "Mom, dad I'm home!" " Come in the living room we need to talk to you!", My dad said. I did as told and sat down on the couch. " So what's so important I have to leave school?" I asked.

But the next thing I heard was my breaking point. "Aidyn died this morning." Aidyn my best friend of 5 years was dead. I just ran to my room bawling my eyes out. Not even wanting to know how he died.

I got my emergency suitcase and put my clothes in there. My pictures of me and Aidyn from 4-5th grade. Taking a backpack filled with mini pillows and blankets. My phone, and pepper spray for certain reasons.

My parents banging on my door didn't help. I hated loud noises and fighting. I'm not running away because Aidyn died, well maybe just a little, but it's because Mr. Barry's a creep, the people at my school are jerks, My parents fight a lot, and many more.

I got my skateboard and hopped out my window, (my room is on the first floor) and rode to a bus stop. I sat down, my eyes stringing, and all puffy.

I was ready to be out of Idaho for good. The bus arrives and it was basically 6pm at this point. "Where to kid" the old lady asked with a smirk on the side of her mouth. "Far away from here" I said. "Got it!" She said. Just then I realized I was the only one on the bus right now 'amazing' I thought.

The next thing I knew is that I sat down and dozed off.

I woke up to the bus stopping and people getting off. I walked up to the bus last and asked where we were. " Well sweetie, we are in Illinois, like you wanted, far from Idaho and this is the farthest, dear" she said. I walked off and remembered my uncle Jason and Aunt Rachel live here!

I got my phone out and looked through my text with Amyra, my cousin. Remembering she texted me an address when they first moved here. 1620 5th Avenue, was put into the gps. I walked and rode my skateboard to their house tired from carrying a suitcase and a Backpack. Finally I tried in the middle of nowhere and saw their house.

I went up to the door and knocked. "Coming!" Uncle Jason yelled. He opened the door in complete shook to see me. You see we aren't blood related but when my parents had their first divorce my dad got together with my aunt and my mom went with my uncle Jason so technically we are step family I guess

Time skip

I put my stuff in a room next to Amyra's room, she was off at boarding school. I made my bed and put my phone on a charger on the nightstand and layer on my bed. There is a window seat. The window seats view was directed to a old run down church. Cool. Next thing I know im exploring the outside world of Illinois.
