Hate must Change

Whats wrong with Elsie?

The last day of my suspension was horrible. The so called Richard my mums boyfriend bossed me around all day and night. Then there were the weekends where Richard acted as if he was the boss of the household and mum and Richard nearly broke up I felt like screaming when they got back together and forgave each other.

But then I had to return to school on Monday where I had to sit with the losers. I tried many times to start a conversation but they all just ignored me. I couldn't stand this anymore so I decided to move to a different group. Why did I even go to this group in the first place? I mean... Natasha can't make my decisions.

I was just thinking of where to go when Elsie came over to me and said hi
"Oh hey!" I replied.
"I see you got kicked out..." There was a wave of anger as Elsie said this.
"Yeah..."
"Well... You know... You can always join my group..."
I stared at her in surprise... "Really?"
Elsie nodded her head furiously.

I stood up and she led me to her group. There were a lot of people in her group. She introduced every single one of them to me. Then they started talking about what they were going to do in the holidays. "OMG! I'm going to wet and wild with my parents!" One of them said.

"Really? Me too! Except my daddy got us free passes to all the amusement parks! Squeeee!" Another boasted.
"My mum and dad said they'd take me to Taylor swifts concert!" All of them went on and boasted about how they were all going to spend time with their parents and stuff.

I felt like crying... I couldn't even spend a day with both my parents. If they even tried to talk with each other for even the whole day they would always end up saying :"I hate you Jordan!" Or "stay away from me Kate!" I felt the familiar feeling of tears forming in my eyes. That's when Elsie starts crying instead. It was as if she was crying for me. I was surprised and instantly the tears disappeared.

"What's wrong Elsie?" I asked.
"Just thinking of how I can't spend time with my parents at all this holidays."
"Why?"

"Because... Because... My parents are divorced."

All of us gasped. One said "why didn't you tell us before?"
