Darkest Light

Chapter 2

My dad is a liar, he lies about little things like what he was doing to as big as hitting me and my mom or having a job. My dad should have a job; he is the one who spend the most amount of money. Sometimes he acts stupid but that is a way different story. Sometime I wish my parents put me up for adoption so I don't have to deal with my dad. But what would my mom do without me? She can fend for herself! She'll get killed. If I weren't here to protect her... She probably would be dead by now. Now I'm depressed. I'm like my mom in personalities but I look like my dad. I wish I looked like my mom though. Then I wouldn't have a haunting picture looking at me.

It's a brand new day of school. I hope I don't sound too excited because I'm not even close to happy. I have tons of tests to take a lot to learn. I quickly change my clothes and do my hair. I have to walk two miles to school when my mom can't take me. I don't know if my mom is home yet. "Is mom home yet?" I ask my dad poking him awake. "You know better than to wake me up!" His voice booms in the house. "It's okay honey I'm home, I'll take you to school," my mother tells me from the kitchen. We talk for five minutes it takes us to get to the school. "Have a good day of school sweet heart," my mother says to me with a big smile on her face. "Bye mom, love you!" I say running up to the school. I went to my locker. My locker is one if the bottom lockers and there's is a popular girl right above me, named Samantha. Everyone is always crowded around my locker. I'm never going to be able to get to my locker. I've been late for class about ten times because I wait so I don't get attacked by popular people. I have never actually talked to any of them. I've heard them talking about me though so I kind of lay low and avoid getting hurt.

School is boring and I have nothing to do all day but write poems and do homework. I guess I have to walk home today because my mom has to work.
