I wait outside at the crowded drop off zone where everyone is talking. Kristin catches the local bus and Lottie went home with Katie. I wait until the crowd dies down. Where is my mum? Suddenly her blue car pulls up and I jump in and look at my mother. Her face is overfilled with makeup and is wearing a gorgeous red, slim dress.
"Why are you late?" I ask
"I am not late!" She says
"You are mum! It's 4:30! Your meant yo pick me up at 3:00! Like in every school!" I sigh
"Oh silly me" she giggles.
"Why doesn't david pick me up?" I ask. David is one of our seevents. He has been like a father to me. My dad always is away. He owns this huge company. The only time he talks to me is either when he sends me a present and writes a note saying 'left overs from work for you!" Or when he comes home and says 'hey Briar'. David has basically been my father.
"That's a good idea" my mum says. I sigh and close my eyes leaning back. I hate my family. Yeah we are rich and i never have to worry about starving but...i want a family that cares about me.
