The Life of a High School Girl

Ch.6) Never looking back

Today is Saturday and I am seriously very nervous at the moment. I packed up all my things at 2:40am and left at 3:26am. Right now I'm writing in my diary while sitting on the train. I have no idea where I am heading. I bought a ticket and my destination is...unknown. I took my debit card along with me, it contains $32,745 USD, my life savings. 

I know running away is cowardous and is so immature. But I can't take it anymore. I just can't.

I realised that the perfect destination for me to go is NYC. Where no one would know me and also because New York had a fast life and I seemed to enjoy it when I went with my parents. I missed those times where I had no worries. I wonder what must my parents be going through and i'm feeling so guilty, but i'm going to rely on my destiny now.

I could never sit and not think about nothing. If I just sat there with a blank expression then that would mean 100 things were going on in my head and so I decided to take a little nap.

Little did i know that you would have to switch trains in order to get to NYC. Instead I reached the last stop which was Atlantic City. I heard that it was an amazing place? Well i'm going to get off before I miss this stop! Oh wait that's not possible because I was hibernating like a bear. Uhh, still 10mins before the stop comes to a stop. Hahaha, I used the word stop so much! Ew, there's a hobo next to me, I mean I don't hate them but I just don't like their...smell and looks? But I gave him a tenner because I felt pity on him and due to the fact that I am a firm believer in Karma! So if I do good to others, good will happen back to me! Belief keeps me going.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WOW, this is an amazing city, I don't even think the city sleeps! I couldn't afford to stay in a costly hotel so instead I'm staying in a cheap motel where it is $38 per night, so cheap! Also because if it's a costly hotel they take down all your details and I don't want all that complications. But this hotel even has all the facilities, the only reason why it is so cheap was because it is in the suburbs/far from the city. But then again I was fine with it and I now think I need a rest so I can be properly be fresh in the morning because right now its 5:37am. I know, it's seriously early. So sayonara for now!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FInally i'm up awake and now I'm truly fresh. I think i'm going to go and have a look around the city. Oh and i just remembered that tomorrow is my birthday, how fun. You know spending birthdays all alone is totally fun...I know I shouldn't be complaining because it was my choice to leave the house. But what could I have done? I needed a fresh start more than anything else! I was sick of all the drama that was going on back in Jersey. Not once have I regretted my decision. I just regret not leaving a note or informing my parents. I think i'm going to go bathe now. Oh no! It's already 9, better hurry up before half the day is over! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great, it only took me 30mins to get ready! I'm going to go see the city properly now. I remember seeing a cupcake store whilst coming to my Motel, I can notice a lot of things around me.  I think i'm going to go for that since I'm starving. I feel so lonely all on my own. There's a knock on my door, who could that be? I need to stop panicking it must be a worker who needs something no worries. I'm going to go open the door. 

--------------

Ahhhh, no worries! It was just the service boy! He was so cute! He just wanted to give me my bathroom necessities. He was so friendly and he's only 15yrs, and he's here all alone. His name was Harry, oh how hot of a name that was! He seemed so friendly and he was very poor. I wanted to tip him but that looked so rude since we're the same age! Anyway, more about this later. I shall go seek for a tour around the city! Here I come. 

Ugh, atleast i've got my diary. This is the only thing that kept me company, right?

----------

I'm finally back! I was walking around the city and passed the cupcake store I saw before, there was a ad for "We are hiring" so I thought why not? Might as well do something to keep me busy. So I got a job at the 'Build A Cupcake' store! You know how theres a build-a-bear store? But here you have to choose the cupcakes base and everything and the toppings. It seems to be a lot of fun.  I'm incharge of the toppings. I know it's not the best job? But I figured it's good enough. My salary is $10 an hour. Not bad for my first job, and guess who else worked there, Harry! 

Sigh.

I miss home, I never would have imagined having to work at the age of 14, the day right before my brithday, I feel so depressed like never before. I should be wondering what my family got me for my birthday but instead i'm wondering what are they doing at the moment. Maybe they reported to the police? Oh no, if they did then i'm deinitely in danger. Anyway, live the present. I didn't even mention my real name, I told them my name was Naomi Miller. I hope no one finds out. By the way, i'm only here for my lunch break! So i've got to get back to work.

I ran back from work straight back to the hotel, I saw someone from the window...WHAT THE HELL WAS HE DOING?! I'VE GOT TO FIND A NEW PLACE. Once again.
