"Look I know why I'm here. I'm sorry but I'm not willing to help. I have a record for crying out loud why would I help anyone that works at this stupid dump."  I have been sent to jail before. Its not put out like its said. There isn't anything wrong there. Everyone minds there own business. As long as your not in another gangs territory your fine. most are trying to find there way back to where they went wrong and others look into religion and find themselves spiritually relieved. as for me I just wanted everyone to leave me alone. I didn't talk to anyone there because I knew I was only going to be there for a short time.

"What is life to you?" That's easy..... nothing. Its horrible. There's no end to it and the worst thing is when people die you can only stand there and watch. Its horrible.

"What is life to you? That might answer your question" I answered him. He had a bright smile on his face. Oh God he's one of thoooose people.

" Well sunny. My life is just great now, if you excuse me I have a few more questions to ask but is obvious so I have to ask a different question." This dude needs a new life.

" What is your family like?" Oh lord, help me now. These questions don't even pertain to our problem here.

"Its big."  There happy now. Anger is the only thing I could think of. I hate my family. All they ever do is get mad at me...

"When did you meet Angeline?" The guy asked as he taped his pencil on the clipboard. Anger was poring from my veins. Angeline........ we had no idea....... we all wish we could do the only thing we couldn't but, we cant.

"Well, if you insist on knowing. It started more of a boring, normal, stupid, teenage, morning. If anything could have gone worse..... well, lets just say I thought that was the worst day of my life."

"So muggy" I said to myself as I got in my dads car. Lots been going on with there divorce and all. I'm only a teen and the suggest I go out and laugh and pretend I'm ok. That's like telling a teen that they need to be emotionless.

As I sat in the car I felt the cool breeze of the air filling the car as the sun tried continuously to make me brake a sweat, threw the window. As I tried to concentrate on my dads steering, my phone buzzes.

Jesse: Hey baby, so how about we hange out later. I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever.

Jesse: Hey babe, how about we go somewhere and chill.

Jesse: Hey, you out somewhere. Lol. I can join if you want.

Jesse: Babe, why u not answering.

Me: :...

M: umm.. sorry its not you its.... never mind its you... your to clingy.... we are over.... sorry Jesse. I'll let you process this okay.

Jesse is gonna be mad but, she needs to know that its a turn off when girls are too clingy.

" Dad turn right here. " I tell him persuasively. I gotta get to Caleb's house. He's like my best friend. He's tall brunette and quite the ladies man but he's never really dated anyone. He doesn't see it when a girl fawns over him. He's so happy and good natured. Its quite funny if you ask me. He can be pretty clueless. I heartedly text Jesse my final words to her. Summer is almost over. I need to start fresh. Maybe if I didn't date all the time I could get into a good college and out of this hole in the wall state. We turn into Caleb's driveway and sure enough there he is doing yard work and helping his 'Pa'.

"Yo,  country boy" I shout and he grabs my hand as we bring it in.

"Heller, city boy" he started to crack up. We both started laughing really hard.

"want to go inside? My grandma loves you. She thinks your a ladies man" That's his Grandma for ya.

We walk in the house and I look around. His house always smells like home to me. I mean if I think about it long enough I have been best buds with this guy for hers. We have lived in this stupid, muggy Iowa for many years. Since I was born, and was finally in preschool, we just clicked and like that we were best friends.

I look around some more and see all the race cars that have been collected over the years, and a picture on the wall that has Caleb and to older people. One was an older lady and the other, an older man. The woman was Caleb's grandma and the man was his grandpa. Caleb's always telling me about how his parents are out of the picture, but I aware lately they have popped up here and there.

I hear his grandma say something about Cinderella or something like that. I look over and give her my million dollar smile. Before I know it we are walking to Caleb's bedroom. My phone starts to bus and when I look over so is Caleb's. I wanna ask him if he will answer that, but I have my own problems. I need to talk to someone about this. I men I could talk to Caleb but I think he has the point that I can't even keep a girl even when they give me everything. I want someone bold and carefree, someone who isn't afraid to stick her ground and not be afraid to tell me that I'm imperfect. But heck ill have to get a buddy belly and grow a beard and wear stained hippie shirt with high waters, then someone can say I'm imperfect.


I get on my phone and text the only other person I know I can make laugh or at least make me laugh. Skylar answers right away to my hey. I laugh at he texts.

Dude, what's up. Your scaren me." Caleb looks up at me in question. i chuckled once more. Hmmm.

"talking to Skylar I guess." I answer him truthfully. I can Tell what he Is thinking and there is no way that would happen so he can go sit on the toilet and think about his thoughts because that's a no go. No mans land.

"so, what you wanna do. We can get out the old Xbox and play some world of combat orwhatever you want. " I give him the stupid look "its all about God of war get it right buddy." he goes over to the disks and his phone buzzes again. Hmmm. As if on que Skylar texts me back. But before I can read it Caleb shouts.

"lets have fun no girls okay bubby." we both laughed and started playing our game.
