I was sitting there, eating chips, when my sister came up to me and asked me, " Why do you just sit around all day eating chips and ignoring me when I ask you something? "Does it matter to you? Not really," I said. She's forever bugging me like that, but the thing is, she knows why I'm like this. She caused this condition for me from all her constant teasing and bullying, but I never told Mom because she told me not be a whiner and to deal with things myself. I tried to deal with things myself, but she beat me anytime I tried. When things finally became noticeable to Mom that something was wrong with me, considering all the bruises, limping, sleepless nights and lower school grades, she sat down and talked with me about it.
We haven't talked nicely to each other in God knows when, and now she's sorry? I don't think so. She turned me emo, but I don't mind. I shaved a part of my head and now have depression. I don't go to school because I can't mentally handle it. Emma brought a bunch of her friends over and Mom said that I could go outside for a walk. I was walking wherever I wanted to, so I went to the skate park. I don't usually see much, but today I saw something that I didn't expect. He was tall with black hair. He was cute, I went up to him and we started a conversation immediately. We talked for hours and we ended up as friends. His name was Cameron.
Mom always knows where I go when I walk. I go to the skate park because it's so quiet. But today, not so quiet. So, if anyone asks, I like him. Not that like like him, that would weird. I just think he's cool.
