Not an angel.

Let's get real here, I didn't mean to start anything I swear! That girl just came running up to me full speed and punched me right In between the eyes. Of course she knocked me back a little but nothing I couldn't handle... Something I was quite used to regarding my situation at home. So I got angry... I hit back, maybe a little too hard and hurt her more then I initially expected. To be honest I didn't know I had that much strength in me, I had sent her right to the hospital with a few broken bones and well got kicked out of school in the mean time. The first day I come to school in maybe 3 months and I get kicked out, perfect... New school time and probably a real beating when I get home, what could be better? So as I'm sitting here in the principles office waiting for my father to pick me up and waiting for his cold, cold expression when he finds out what I've done. I sighed and hugged my knees to my chest when I saw him and my mother walk through the front doors of the school.

It was a long meeting, mostly just telling my parents that I'm a terrible child, I need to be sent away to a private school... Bla bla bla... The original bull shit that principles spill to your parents to make it seem like they are doing a good job. Half the reason why he's expelling me in the first place is so that I won't spill his dirty little secret. See, since the beginning of the year he's been screwing the young secretary at the front desk while his wife works 3 doors down teachers 11th graders some poetry bullshit. The whole time he was talking to my parents I was smirking in the corner, he knew I was going to tell after he had sent us out of his office. I waved bye to him and turned to my mother giving her some bullshit excuse to go into that class and get something I needed. Once I walked through the door all the older students looked at me and silently murmured to themselves some shit story about me murdering some kid. I walked right up to the teacher, whispered something into her ear and gave her an envelope with all my blackmail in it. She looked shocked when I walked away. With my black heeled boots clicking behind me I blow a kiss to one of the hottest seniors in school and left the room. Went out with a bang right?

When I got out of the school I saw my dads old beater van with him and my mother inside. I let out a shaky sigh and got in the van, it was strangely quite for the ride home and when we arrived still nothing happened. I grabbed my things quickly and bolted upstairs to my room, still nothing. No yelling, no angry hushed voices... Just silence. It was well past 6 o clock when I came back downstairs, my parents were sitting on the couch in front of the tv. I walked over slowly and without saying anything my mom gestured towards dinner that was on the counter. I nodded and took some before my dad exploded, if he was going to. I was too scared to find out.

I sat at the dinner table well here I am now, my name is Madison. Named after a mermaid in the he 80's my mom was obsessed with. I have long, like really long brown hair and pretty cool eyes if I do say so myself. They are all like blue and green, brown and yellow... A bunch of different colours. I'm mid height and pretty self conscious about my body, it's not that I was like fat or anything but I wasn't thin either. I was kinda in the middle and I was unhappy with myself. I don't have any friends actually, never really did. All the girls and guys in my neighbourhood or even people I randomly met were too scared of me. I have a couple of piercings and a few tattoos, I won't get into detail. So here I sat, eating dinner and trying to cover up my scars of being a troubled child when my dad walked by me and knocked my plate off the table in an alcoholic rage. I flinched and bent down to pick it up but he pulled me out of my seat.

"Why can't you be normal?! Why are you such a fuck up!" He screamed at me, scotch lacing his every word. I flinched again and shrugged

"TALK TO ME YOU BITCH" he screamed and slapped me hard, felt like a full on punch. I yelped and hit the ground hard as he stood towering over me screaming and hitting me more and more until I begged him to stop. I cried and screamed for him to stop.
