“Are you going to try and go to school today?”
A kind mother said, speaking to a seven year old boy in bed; staring up at the wall deep in thought.
“No! “
He replied, and turned over so he was facing the wall.
His mother sighed, deeply frustrated.
“Can you please try, for me?”
He paused and waited before he replied,
“No, I don’t want to go ever again! “
He then jumped out of bed, ran out of the room and under the stairs until he found his hiding stop, between all the storage boxes where no one can see him.

Alijas, often called Ali stared at her closet pondering on what to wear
‘Hmm, what should I wear today? I have science today and I HAVE to look good for Tom, I don’t know what he sees in that girl...”
“Hurry up and get changed or were going to be late!” her mum yelled.
“And it doesn’t help that I can’t find your brother”
Ali knew where he was, but she didn’t want to betray him. She thought about her words before she spoke.
“Well I don’t know where he is, he’s your son you should know where he is!”
Her mother’s sharp tone had her quaking in her boots,
“Don’t give me that attitude young lady! I didn’t ask for your help, I was just telling you to get a move one or else you’re never going to get to science class on time! This, by the way is class you consistently fail!”
“Hah, I wonder why…”
Ali chuckled to herself. Suddenly she froze.
“I found the perfect outfit, YAY!”
She started dancing around the room…
”You’ve got to be kidding me? You’re still not even changed! I don’t know why I even bother taking out my time to drive...”
Ali just blocked out her mum’s complaints and held up the perfect outfit in front of her in the mirror; it was a simple purple dress with a black belt which would go perfectly with her black city boots.
“Ah finally, his crush will now look so under dressed compared to me and then he will fall in love with me, then we’ll get married at 18 and have beautiful children in a huge mansion with pony’s in our back yard…”
Her mum’s sharp tone cut of her daydream,
“You LITERALLY have five minutes before I leave!”
She gulped and got changed as quickly as she could possibly could.
