SPLASH! Well, there goes my phone. 

Bullies got it and tossed it into the school fountain, and my family doesn't have enough money to repair it. Real nice.

As lunch ended, (I didn't bring any money for a lunch because we only use it when we need it.) I headed to my next class. On my way there, the meanest bully, Brett Wilson, tripped me and I went flying into the wall! He laughed and walked away. I didn't have the money to afford any binders, so all my paper  floated onto the soaked floor of the boys bathroom.

I think my life actually sucks! 

I kneeled onto the wet ground and picked up my papers. While I tried to dry my soggy math homework, some boy walked in, grabbed my math out of my hands, and dunked it in the sink. 

Sometimes I ask myself: why?

Just why? 

I eventually gave up and just left the damp homework on the bathroom counter.

After the final bell, I went to my locker and put my stuff inside because I had no backpack. I quickly walked out the door. I also had no money for the bus.

Which sucks, because my apartment is one hour away!

I dragged myself home, relieved to be out of that dumb school. I needed to help my family, and fast.
