I wake up before everyone else, as usual. I'm used to that but I'll never be used to the silence. I hate it. It's like voldemort came back just to antagonize me. Finally after awhile someone  came out. It wasn't anyone I knew. I slowly walked over. And slide behind him. I wrapped one arm around him and pointed my pepper spray at his face. I know, I'm pathetic. "Who are you and what do you want?" He chuckled. "What is that, pepper spray?" He pushed me back. The floor hit my head. I gasped. He walked away. Another boy came up.

                                   Love,
                                          Mom

I woke up a few hours later. I grumbled. My neck ached. I walked to the kitchen. Note on the refrigerator door.

I'll be home at 7:00 pm. Your mom left at 4:00 am and will return at 6:00 tomorrow.

I looked at the clock. 12:47?!
I have to go. Now. I have to go get clothes before tomorrow. It's the 1st day of school tomorrow! All I have is a white blouse and khaki shorts. The other stuff I'm giving to good will. I use my bike to race to the store. After an hour and 5 stores later, I went home. Sirens rang. As I crossed the street a honk scared the pee outta me. "oof" a scream. Yelling. Another honk. Darkness fills my eyes, as one last scream fills the air. Mine...
