My mothers 3rd rule was we must never wear the colour black.
Aparently it made us look dowdy and unsifisticated. I didnt really understand because Allison said that black made people look slimmer but eventhough i didnt understand i still followed my mothers strict intructions and packed my black clothes into a box and shoved it to the back of my wardrobe.


I dive my hand into my backpack . Id never been able to wear my backpack to school because it wasnt lady-like . So mother forced me to take Allison's handbag that was extreamly akward to hold and left marks on my arms .
In my backpack i brought out my black leather jacket . Once again i had never wore it but when Scott gave it to me I would rub the material between my thumb and my index finger . Today it was breezy , it wasnt a cold breeze it was more of a refreshing gust of air reminding me that I was free. I was finally free from my mother , from school , from Jackson+ Angelina and from what people I thought would be a perfect life . When i slide on the jacket im suprised at how well it fits . The arms were a little big but nothing some folding wouldnt fix. I hoist myself up onto Mr Reyes' large oak tree that went just high enough for me to pull my legs ontop of the fence . I sit a little uncomfertably on the top of the fence loooking out across the rows of perfectly maintained houses . This would be the last time i would be inside the estates fence and i was glad of it . I let myself fall backwards until i crash against the piles of leaves . Jolts of pain shoot through my back but i dont mind at all . I was finally free and i didnt know what to do next

The air seemed closer , the concrete seemed harder , the trees seemed so different already and i loved it !
