Dear Diary

Starting all over

     2 days had already past and I'm still stuck upstairs in my new room. My grandparents are still trying to get me to walk downstairs but I'm just not ready for that. Just the thought about what happened brings tears to my eyes.

A few days later I decided to get off my bed and clean myself up. I took a nice shower, and I changed into my cloths. I decided to start a new life here in California, new cloths, new style, new place...

     I actually had the decency to walk down the stairway. I took a step onto the stairs being welcomed by the sweet smell of waffles. I turned to the right corner of the hallway and I can see my sister watching this tv show about models and crap like that. On the corner of my eye I can see my grandma walking upstairs, but after I took a big step to the side she noticed that I finally came to the senses to go down stairs. 

     "Hi honey " she said with a big smile on her old wrinkly face. She was holding a big white box with holes popped in the middle of the cover. 

 " Hi grandma"  

     "I have a gift for you" she said looking at the box

     "I took the box being surprised by how heavy it was. As I took the cover off the box I fell back getting slobbered. I then realized that it was a puppy! 

     "Thanks grandma, your the best!!" I hugged my grandma and I thanked her once again. I then walked into the kitchen to eat breakfast, I took a quick glance back at my sister who was talking to grandpa about how it wasn't fair that I have a puppy and she doesn't. Finally I got my breakfast and I started to shove all these great foods in my mouth.  I went back upstairs bringing Clover with me. (Thats the name of my puppy. (It's a female btw) ) 

     I walked back upstairs, once I got to the door I closed it behind me. Great now what am I going to wear for school tomorrow. It's a new school in a new state, I need to look awesome. I gathered around all my cloths and through out the old ones the ones that look ugly, and the ones which don't fit me. I kept all my nice, cool clothing putting them together to find a outfit for Monday. 

     (Few hours later)

    " Bye grandma " 

     I shut the wooden door behind me before leaving. I ran down the street past my new school. I started to walk down the busy street wondering which store to go to first. After hours of walking I finally found the perfect store to get new clothes from. I opened the door, hearing this bell chime when I walked in. I took a stroll down each isle taking quick glances at the clothes. 

     My eye finally caught the perfect shirt to wear. It was a romper, the background of it was black but all the designs were these colored flowers that matched with the background. It was amazing. I took the medium and tried it on. I got into a dressing room. I just silently stood in front of the mirror wondering what the other students would think of me. I took it off and started to look around for a jacket that would match with it. I picked out a leather jacket and I paid for the whole thing. 

     I was walking back to the house when all of a sudden a group of girls and guys came up to me. I started to pick up my pace when they blurted out my name. 

     "Hey, Skylar Ann Martinez! " 

I was shocked, I never met them before and I never visted my grandparents in California before. How did they know my name. I stoped in my tracks horrified. But I have to play it cool.

     "Who wants to know?" 

  "We do, we work for your dad. Daniel Martinez. He smirked because he obviously new that, that man was my father. 

     "But ho-w, the last I-i heard was-s that he was de-ad." I stuttered scared for my life. I didn't know what to do. My mom told me that he past away when I was 15, I hardly new him because he left when I was young. But but now, are they sure he's my father. I mean that is his name and all. 

" Your mother lied to protect you, turns out that, that lie put you in danger. But now your here and you need to be protected."

     We talked and talked about what the future holds for me, and the only way for me to be safe is if I join there gang. They said that, that's all my mother wanted is for me to be safe, so I joined. Now I have no clue what is out there, I have to be careful, so here we go.
