I had nothing then

No friends. No money.

March, 6th 2009

I was 13, I lived in a small house, my mum worked at the supermarket just to keep us from not having money. My names Clarissa and this is my story.

One day as I was walking to school, Amy and Rachael from school approached me. I wasn't friends with them I wasn't friends with anyone. I had no friends. I was surprised because those girls asked if they could walk with me to school I said sure.

As we were walking the girls asked if I could be friends with them. It was the best feeling ever that someone wanted to be friends with me. I smiled at them and said sure.

At school it was recess and all the girls had recess except me. They asked where's your recess? and I just said I'm not hungry.

My mum couldn't afford to buy me food for school. Until I was 14 I could find a job to help support my family
