I woke the next morning with a massive headache. I always hated crying, it was so weak of me. Crying made me feel worthless, like I had no value, and every time I cried, I would end up laughing nervously for some reason.
I got up slowly, holding my head. I dragged myself to my washroom with my blanket wrapped around me. The tiles felt cold against my feet once I stepped in, which caused me to shiver. I stared at myself in the mirror for a good minute. Observing how much I changed.
Everyone in my family had told me I looked mature and pretty now, but why did I feel the same way as I did a year ago? Physically I was different... but mentally... I was the same Soul everyone picked on; the same Soul who had no voice of her own. Before my family didn't even acknowledge me, but now it's as if I've been born again.
I quickly erased my thoughts after realizing how much I had to do. Finally we got the home we deserved, and I wasn't just going to stand there thinking about times wasted.
I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and went out to jump into my closet to find some decent home clothes. I slipped on my sweats, and my favorite Hello Kitty sweater.
As I walked down the stairs, I tied my hair into a messy bun.
"Uh, hello? Dad... you awake?!" I called out, hoping I'd hear his voice from somewhere.
"Back here Soul, at the pool!" I heard his voice faintly coming from my left. I turned on my heels and head to the back.
As I walked out to the patio, I was blinded. I squinted and spoke.
"Have you seen my glasses dad? I can’t find them anywhere!" I said as I held my arm out to block the sun.
"Yes on the dining table from last night. Soul you're so irresponsible, please take care of those glasses, or else I'll be more than glad to step on them." He said with a stern look. I couldn't help but let out a giggle.
"Oh and, we have some guests coming today, for something to do with our land. They called to ask if we would like to be business partners with them, they are planning on making something here." He said as he put down the newspaper he was holding.
"If they make anything, make sure it's not a shopping mall. That's a waste of time. They should make something like a clinic, or better yet, a hospital… no... how about a school?"
"Soul. Don't worry. Just go get your glasses and eat something, alright? They'll be here any minute."
I skipped off to get my glasses, for some reason I was in a really good mood, and I wasn't quite sure why... but whatever it was, it was rare.

I was now done eating and cleaned my room, and was sitting in it, listening to my IPod. Peacefully... and then the doorbell rang. I heard my dad yell.
"Soul! They're here! You don't need to come down, but it would be appreciated, and respectful!"
I took that as a 'come down here now' but I still waited. I heard the door open, and deep voices talk. My dad sounded extremely enthusiastic and happy, so I decided to take a peek at who these people were.
I took one last look in the mirror, and headed down. I made my way slowly down the steps. As I walked, I could hear three voices. My dads, an old mans, and just a males. For some reason I got a bit nervous and was regretting deciding to come... but there was no turning back now because I reached the main floor.
I walked quietly to the living room. As soon I reached there, the two male’s backs were facing mine, and my dad beamed at me. Before I could see who and what these people were, they stood up.
I was speechless. My breath was taken away. Lord have mercy, but I was about to faint. Was that a boy; a good looking boy; a good looking boy of my dad’s business partners son? A good looking boy of my dad’s business partner’s son, that looked my age? Oh I was loving this project already.
