~Augustine's POV~

After a long day of school I was finally able to go home. I don't want to though it's weird I just know my step dad Sam isn't gonna be nice like always or he'll be arguing with my mom.

As I walk out of the school I notice the "popular girls" are following me, can they ever give me a break.
"Why won't you guys ever leave me alone? What did I ever do to you?" I ask as I stop and turn around
"Awww little Augustine is upset today!" Kim says before pulling my hair and walking away
"Oww" I whimpered with tears in my eyes then I start walking home.

Everyone thinks I'm weird cause of my name and the music I like. Well I'm sorry my mom decided to name me after a fictional character.

I don't live far from school only 2 minutes away so I didn't take the bus and no one picked me up.
When I finally get to the house I open the gate and get to the door. Before I can even unlock the door I could tell my mom and Sam are fighting. Again.

"IM HOME!" I yell and walk to my room then stop at my door in shock. My room was ripped apart a mess even my mattress was moved to the other side of the room. Better start cleaning before Sam comes and starts hitting me for it being a mess.
I put my headphones in and put on Taylor Swift (she is literally my favorite person and probably the only person that would care about me if I knew her).

After about an hour my room had looked somewhat the same it just needed a little organizing and it was done. Once I finished I grabbed my phone and plopped on my freshly made bed and started to relax before doing my homework.

Once the yelling stopped I heard angry stomps walking over my way. My parents room was right next to mine so Sam was probably heading there do get away from my mom.
"Get up the living room needs to be cleaned fat ass!" He said to me then shortly after my mom came running to yell at him. To avoid a whole beating I grabbed the cleaning supplies and headed to the living room.

Sam's been drinking. I can hear it in his voice and see it in his face. I found it's best not to mess with him when he's drunk the hard way.
Sam always calls me fat even though you could see my bones because my mom and him barely feed me.

Once I finally finished cleaning my mom and Sam where still arguing so I decided it would be best to sleepover at my besties so I could actually get sleep. I texted my friend Betty then started packing all my stuff clothes and my schoolwork.
I grabbed my phone keys and left the house then texted my mom so she wouldn't worry even though I don't think she would in the first place

"mom"
Im going to sleepover at Betty's house so I can actually get sleep. The living room has been cleaned and I finished all my school work. See you after school
