Melanie P.O.V

I woke up the next morning feeling stressed out. I got up and took a shower throwing on a black tight, a pink T-shirt and my running shoes. I went downstairs and made myself a bowl of cereal, while eating it my dad came down, he must've heard noises. "Where are you going?" he asked "out for a run" I said leaving before he could say anything else. I ran around the block twice then came home. When I got inside the house was quiet so I went up to my room and hop in the shower. After showering and getting dressed I didn't feel like staying in my room so I went outside and sat on the bench right outside.
I sat down just staring at the clouds and thinking. Someone sat next to me and I startled, I look and see its my brother Jamal. "Hi" I said looking back at the clouds. My brother and I were cool but we weren't really close growing up, he was always hanging out with his friends while I was always to myself and my phone. "So what's going on?" he asks, "what do you mean?" I answered still not looking at him. "Why don't you wanna go to college?" he asked softly, " like I said college is not for everyone, highschool was already to much for me. I am not about to waste more time in school" I say firmly. "Look then stay home, get a job and work to save your money so when you leave you can actually afford a nice place" he said turning me to face him. "I already have a job, and I am tired of mom and dad treating me like a baby, I can never truly live while being under their roof" I said trying to get him to understand. He sign shaking his head and walked inside.
After a little longer it was getting really hot outside i decided to go inside. I walk in ignoring my mom in the kitchen and my dad on the couch and went straight to my room. I lay down trying to distract myself than I hear a knock, you gotta be kidding me. I ignore it but then I here my door opens and closed, dang I really should've locked the door. "What do you want" I ask not even bothering turning towards her, " can't I check on my big sister?" she asked. "Shouldn't you be talking on the phone,texting or whatever you usually do" I said more like a statement. "I heard everything that happened last night" she said, I sat up "okay and..." "why do you want to leave so bad" she asked. "I am tired of being treated like a child, everybody just leave me alone" I snapped at her, "you know I was trying to be nice but go head I don't care anymore do what you want" she said walking out my room and slamming the door.
These people are driving me nuts, If this continues I might just have to leave before graduation cause I can't take anymore of this.
