Tick , tick , tick... 5:03... tick, tick, tick... school had ended about 3 hours ago , I was the only student left at school . Most of the staff had left and it was me and the principal left , no one left , not a single soul. Tick,tick,tick,tick ... 5:11 ... tick tick tick tick ... "Wendy? Are you still here?" The principal said . "Oh ... Hello ... I'm still here... " I said. "It's getting late do you know when your parents are coming?" He looked down at his watch while he said that. I responded " I'm sorry I don't know when they are coming to get me." But I lied I knew they wouldn't get here till 6:00 . They were at my older brothers hokey game. He then sighed and said " If you need me I'll be in the office." Tick, tick ,tick ...5:35... tick tick tick... this was getting ridiculous why did the principal have to wait for my parents to get here it wasn't fair form him . My thoughts turned black and I tryed to look out the transparent door to the distance, I noticed a little girl with her mother leaving the school for they were sliding down the snow hills on the side of the school which made me remember the time I did the same thing with my parents but now, things were different , the only thing that mattered was being "perfect" my mother calls it " a way to make people like you" but I find it silly ever since,y mother had gotten more strict with me telling me that perfection if every thing I have lost most of my friend ... or alll of them ... every one thinks I'm stuck up and a know-it-all but I'm not ... I'm a nice person and I love helping people. Every time I try talking to someone they will just pretend I'll not even there... like if I don't matter.. like if I'm invisible... I don't want to be invisible ...
Tick, tick ,tick,... 6:01 ... tick tick tick...
Finally they were here . It took them long enough . I called out to the principal and said "My parents are here ... sooo... good bye have a nice evening!" I ran outside I knew that my parents would get mad at me for running but I didn't care , I was tried and I just wanted to go home . I didn't want anyone to tell me anything about any crap. I didn't care if my parents would get mad I was just tried and wanted to leave every one behind ... everyone.. including me...
"So... how was your day Wendy?" My father said with his low scratchy voice. I somethings would wish his voice was more gentle than the voice he has now. "Wendy! " My father growler I hated when his voice does that , it's already really scratchy and why make it even more scratchy than it already is! "WENDY!" He yelled. "... CAN YOU HEAR ME !" I jumped out of my car Sean when I heard him. I had to give up my imagination for him , just to listen to his miserable voice. "Y-yes... I'm sorry I didn't heard you..." I said as my lips trembled, but again I lied to him I didn't care if I did or didn't . "... Well Wendy, now that I have your attention , how was school today." This was weird , he never asked me how my day was or what did I do... something was up and I didn't know what it was. "Uuummm... well... " I said slowly trying to figure out why he had asked me how was my day. "... Well, my day was ok... I gusse." "And ... " my father pushed ... " what happened during school ?" He asked . I knew something was up ... I knew it .. but what ... maybe that he had ... ummm... I don't know ... done something bad at the hokey game or something... "Well... I went to class and then ate lunch... a-" he cut me off, " With who ?" "Well, you see... well... with ... ummm... no one .... umm..." I said . My father looked angry at me and I didn't understand why. What had I done to get him upset... NOTHINGS ! This was another thing I hated about my father he always did things like this.
