The next morning I woke up and then I was greeted by my Mrs Bostwick, she told me the website for the online schooling, and showed me the office where the computer is, with a set of headphones. Then she explained the schedule, she leaves for work then her husband, then Kellin leaves for school. I stay here and do my schooling.

Once everyone left I was alone. I decided I'll take shower and then I'll try this online school thing. I've always went to school, with actual people.

There wasn't to much to do here. They kept everything pretty hidden away, I don't know why. Do they really think I'll steal something? Whatever. I took my shower and headed back to the room and dress myself. I headed down to the office and logged onto the computer.

This is so stupid. Do they really think I don't know anything? Jesus, just because I don't talk doesn't mean I'm dumb, I know people see it that way, but that's their own fault. I really hate when people automatically think one way about me, it really sucks. I did what I had to do. I finished pretty quickly and then stayed in the room I was told to live in.

Sometimes I feel like I'm mastering the art of miracles. It's basically a miracle that I'm here anyway, people don't understand me and they never will. They don't know me, or my past or all the things that I've experienced, and I'm only 16.

I need something to do. I scan the room, and my eyes land on my guitar. I haven't played this in a long time. I picked it up and started to strum.

I kept strumming and zoned out only focusing on my playing. That when I looked up Kellin was standing there. I quickly put the guitar down and looked away from him. When did he get here? Why is he here so early?

I then stared at him. Hoping that he would tell me why, so I don't have to ask.

"Your really good" he said. I just gave him a slight grin.

"No I mean it, your really good" he reiterated.

I grabbed the closest thing I could to and wrote 'thanks' on it. But as he was about to leave I tapped on the desk and he turned around and looked at me.

I wrote down my question 'What are you doing home so early anyway?' He didn't say anything for a minute.

Then he did. "Ok, don't tell my parents but I ditched my last two classes" he said to me. But that just got me more curious.

'Why did you ditch?'

"Because, I don't like those classes and this is usually the only time I have to be here by myself. But now you're here, I forgot about that, I'm just used to being an only child here. But I also take this time to be myself" he said. I nodded in understanding.

'Ok, is it a regular thing?'

"I'd say two or three days a week ok, please don't rat me out" he pleaded.

'Ok, it's none of my business anyway' then he left. But he left my door open. I just rolled my eyes and ignored it.

All of a sudden I heard really loud music coming from Kellin's room. I was shocked he didn't seem the type to like that kind of music. After a few minutes of this I was getting annoyed and I knocked on the door to his room even though it was open. I figured it would be the only way he'd notice I was here.

He did hear, to my surprise, and got a look of regret on his face. He lowered the music and apologized.

"Sorry was it to loud?" He said. I just nodded my head a few times to get my point across.

"Sorry" he said again. I give him an ok sign (👌) and I walked away.

The doors to our rooms were still open and I could see everything that he was doing and vice versa. But he wasn't paying attention to me he was doing some weird shit in there. This is why he ditched? I was trying to concentrate on my guitar but that kid was still there, distracting me. It seemed as though this is on purpose. Was he trying to get under my skin and piss me off?

I gave up on my guitar playing for today. I got up to go to the bathroom when I ran into Kellin again only this time he changed his clothes. And to my surprise he was in a skirt, a pink tutu like skirt. When he saw me he got this shocked face and ran into his room and and shut the door. I continued my way to the bathroom.

What was weird.

I exited the bathroom and I was met with Kellin again but he put pants back on. He was looking at the ground.

"Can I talk to you?" He said. I nodded and put up my finger as in to wait a minute. (☝️)

I went to grab my white board. Then I went into his room. This should be awkward.

"Look, about that, I'm sorry I just like to wear skirts, my parents hate it. So when ever they're not home I put one on. Ok, please don't tell them they'll take them away from me" he said.

'Don't worry I won't, I said before its none of my business what goes on here, I simply just live here and that's all, I do what I'm told and that's it' I wrote down so he can read it.

"No your a part of the family now, and you do have a say in things" he said.

'No really Kellin, I'm not I just live here for a month or so then I'll be sent back it always happens' I wrote.

And he tried to argue but he new I was probably right. Why get emotionally attached right.

I then walked out of his room and back to the one I was given. I sat on the bed listening to music and waited for my foster parents to come back.

It's was only an hour later when they came back, Mrs Bostwick then a few minutes later Mr Bostwick. They noticed right away that Kellin was home early and they scolded him about how ditching was not a good thing and all that. I didn't really pay attention. They didn't punish him or anything they just lectured him, and he probably didn't even listen.

They said hi to me and I waved at them, and they left with out another word to me.

Mrs Bostwick called me and Kellin down for dinner. I emerged from the room and I saw Kellin leaving his. He was in front of me and I headed to the dinning room and sat down. When Mrs Bostwick put a plate in front of me with food. I nodded as a way of thanking her. I'm not a picky eater, I'd eat pretty much anything really. I've had a few foster parents that were, let's say neglectful, and forgot that I was in the house. So I didn't really eat a lot when I was with them, and since my appetite has been suppressed and I don't eat a lot.

The whole dinner was silent. No one talked. Mrs Bostwick asks Kellin how school was. That was about it. Like am I ghost or invisible? Sometimes I really think that, since I'm so skinny people see right through me, as though I'm not there.

Since I was full I just sat there at the table examining everyone else while they ate. Mr Bostwick was reading the paper while he ate, Kellin was texting, and Mrs Bostwick I don't know what she was doing, just eating I guess. I pushed food around on the plate in front of me to make it look like I was still eating.

I didn't know if I could leave the table before everyone else, and since I didn't have my white board, I couldn't ask, and they don't know ASL so I was stuck sitting there.

Then Mrs Bostwick stood up and went into the kitchen and walked away, then Kellin, so I took that as a cue to get up and leave. So I did. I went back to the room and sat there.

This is going to be torture.
