Savior

Today is my 17th birthday and my parents haven't given me my present yet. They say it's because I haven't done my chores. I have to clean the house daily, so I don't really understand why I can't have my present. I'm literally like cinderella but without the prince's, ball gowns, and money.

A few hours later after I cleaned every inch of this house my parents said, "The outside is dirty so can you go clean all the dirt from out there."

"But it's late! I'll miss my birthday if I clean outside!" I complained.

"Well, Emma you won't get another birthday if you don't clean outside!" he shouted. I sighed and walked out the back door, I looked around for a trash can, but the dogs from our neighbor's house let them loose on our trash. That's another mess I can start on.

After all that hard work it was finally spotless and I could go back inside, but it was 1 o'clock in the morning and I got locked out of the house. Well I guess I will have to sleep out here in the dark on the hard, cold, ground again. I guess that's another birthday ruined. I grabbed my sleeping bag that I stashed out here just incase this happened again.

I woke up at five in the morning because I heard something near me and it was the neighbor's annoying dog named Maxwell. After it saw me awake it ran away. I have that effect on guys as well. I stood up on my sleeping bag, and rolled it into a ball. Finally someone opened the front door and yelled "Emma what are you doing out here?"

"I got locked out." I said plainly while yawning.

"Oh my gosh! The outside is so spotless that I can even see my reflection in it!" She cheered.

"I don't know why you would want to see you reflection." I mumbled.

"Hurry, go upstairs and get ready for school. You have a big day today. You have finals!" She said as I rushed upstairs to get a shower, change, and have a little bit of time to sleep. I forgot that it was Monday, I spent the whole day cleaning and I didn't even have time to study!

I rushed to get everything into my backpack when I heard the horn of the school bus. I grabbed my backpack, flung it over my shoulder, and raced out the front door. When I sat down on the worn out gray seats. I looked out the window and saw my cyan bra hanging out of the window of my room. I guess my mom wanted to torture me even more, abuse is not just enough for her. Everybody on the bus started pointing and laughing. And everybody took pictures and posted it on all their social medias so when I arrived to school I was the laughing stock there so I hid my face in my locker and grabbed my study materials. I rushed to the girls bathroom and locked myself in the stall. At least no one could laugh at me there...so I thought.

I heard girls enter the bathroom to do their morning prep work with makeup and stuff like that. They saw the picture online and reposted it on everything; Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. They kept laughing about it and then the fire alarm went off, but guess what? The girls saw me go in there before they did and locked me in the bathroom stall. But this time it was a REAL FIRE. I was stuck in there for hours. Smoke was coming in the bathroom but then I heard a voice coming in the bathroom. They called him Toby. He came in and saved my life from the fire that was about to rage into the bathroom. I could have died right then and there, because of mean girls and my mean witch-like mother, but I have a savior that saved my life. I was rushed to the hospital so they could do check-ups and make sure that I was breathing fine. Turns out, I was extremely healthy and it was a great miracle that I escaped the burning school. Thanks to that hunk named Toby. I could doodle that name for hours in my notebook and yet I did. He will be starting at my school tomorrow and guess who gets to show him around the school?! Me! That's who! I can't wait I'm so excited!

They had to call my mother to get me out of the hospital, she was NOT happy with me almost dying. She wasn't sad like Oh no, you almost died? Are you okay, can I get you some water? Nope! What she actually said was, "You can't die on me! Who's gonna clean the house when I get old? Now get in that car and do try and die again!"

"EMMA I LAYED YOUR STUPID BIRTHDAY PRESENT ON YOUR STUPID BED!" she yelled. I ran off to go see what my mysterious present was and it was none other than a little yorkie puppy and an iphone 6. I grabbed both of them and hopped up and down in joy. I raced down to see my mother and father to thank them.

"Thank you guys so much! This is all I've ever wanted!" I cheered.

"You'll have to clean after her and everything, I'm pretty sure you understand that responsibility, right?" Dad asked reading the newspaper.

"Yes. I Understand." I say and walk back up to my room and fell asleep while studying really hard on my last final that I have to take which is my math final.

A few hours later after extreme studying, I heard my name being called from downstairs.

"Dinner! Emma!" Mom called.

"Coming!" I shouted.
