Parents never understand you . Parents never will understand you.
I just don't get it , why couldn't they let me explore, why couldn't they just 'set me free' into this world like how a generous owner sets his pigeon free into the despairs of this marvellous world. After all I'm not their first nor second or third but sixth daughter. Parents are not supposed to care for their the last few kids ,well ,mines shouldn't!

Okay ! I'll admit .For the past couple of years all that I have been doing is causing trouble for them, endless amounts of it actually ,although I couldn't see how my harmless exploring and problem solving effects them , well ok ,yes I got caught by the police a few times but that does not mean I am a troublesome person.

My parents need to have a 'talk' with me and judging from their tone and the stern looks on their faces this is not going to turn out good .
"Karen, your mother and I need to tell you something " said my father
Oh god, here we go.
"I'm so sorry father !, honestly! ,I never meant to break all your collection of antiques , like I know they cost allot and stuff !! i was just really angry at that time I mean who would blame me,mr Davidson caught me snooping around in his back yard and promised to tell the police! "
what . Have. I . Done
"Karen sawyer you better explain your self RIGHT NOW !" He shouted
"Well there was this case and a man and a woman and death and this apartment and I suspected mr Davidson and and and"I said as fast as I could hoping he wouldn't catch anything but oh boy was I wrong !
"alright ENOUGH IS ENOUGH miss sawyer , we've tried everything with you but there's just not a sweet way left to say it!"
Oh god
"Karen you are going to boarding school and I don't care what you say or what you do. My words are final !"
"No! "I screamed as loud as I can for about as long as 7 minuets .
like literally.

After the horrible news I ran into my room with mixed emotions, confused on weather to cry or to be intrigued, I mean from the books I read i have learnt that boarding schools are filled with gossip, girls bashing out other girls, fights breaking out in the middle of nowhere and pranks gone wrong Yet again I remember my friends -not my family - my dog, Royal and benny the plant. I'm gonna miss these people... Er ,well mammals ? Plants?

For about 5 hours of thinking I was finally tired. This whole thing is messed up although whole new experience awaits , it not like I have a say in it anyway . I have this horrible feeling that my family is sending me away because they just don't want to see my face anymore , they would rather deal with my two perfect older sisters than bother me , I mean that's the way it has always been ,so why I am worked up about it ? Ever since they confessed that their love to my sisters is greater than mine I have decided to be strong about it and I thought to my self ; you know what? ,I don't care and if my family hates me I don't give a darn pickle because I hate them too and I know for sure that other people love me so there's no reason to be sad about it . My mom pretends she likes me but we all know it's fake , she talks ever so sweetly because it's the only way she knows how to talk. One time she tried to insult someone but just ended up unintentionally complimenting them and now they are best friends

"wake up dear" chirped my mom.
"No" I said
"WAKEUP DEAR"
At the sound of her blood curling , ear-cracking and hair-raising scream I flung out of bed and crashed into my mirror nearly breaking it.
"Next time , when I say wake up, you actually wakeup! ok dear ?"and with that she swayed to the door and shut it gently. I lay on the ground lazy and soar staring at the roof wondering what am I doing with my life and how have I come the extent point of my parents not wanting me around.

Remind me once again Why am I up ?
Oh ya turns out I'm going to the stupid boarding school today and you guessed it , without saying goodbye to anyone, not even benny .

The car drive was the definition of Boring. My mom and dad were listening to classical music while Linda-my eldest sister -was calculating mathematical equations in her sleep or something , every few minuets she blurts out "2x plus the circumference of the sun minus the mass of the moon divided by pie squared times infinity "

My father estimated the ride to be about 3 hours and we have only been in the car for 30 minuets.great. I have forgotten to charge my phone last night so now I'm stuck listening to Shakespeare or barney or something. Due to the 'wonderful' choice of music I drifted into sleep and entered wonderland "where dreams really do come true".

Two hours later I woke up only to find the face of my sister only an inch away from mines staring at me with all curiosity
"Such a dumb interesting creature" she said slightly touching my nose and poking my cheeks .
I pushed her away and groaned, maybe boarding school isn't so bad after all. Our car slowly started to pull into a decent looking building with grass , tall beautiful trees, fountains and flowers everywhere. The sight was pleasant, parents helping out daughters and kissing them goodbye and wishing them luck to the beginning of a new year although one girl caught my attention, she stormed out of the car, picked up her suitcase from the trunk and slammed the door shut not even saying goodbye or looking at her parents . I can tell that this girl and i are gonna be best friends.
