Jesus. I hate it here. Remind me why i'm here again? Oh yeah, im 13. and i live with the most ignorant parent alive. Everyone tempers around in this house but nobody cares how i feel. We just moved here, North Carolina that is. Freaking sucks. I used to live in Georgia, and i fricking miss it so much. I actually had friends there. Now, im a lonely messed up teen who doesnt know what to do. My friends were what held me together back in GA. If only i could bring them here with me. Alright, I'm probably boring you to death, let me introduce myself. I'll try my best not to sound like an annoying self-

centered diva as some would call me. Hey there, my name is Riley Jane. I live in North Carolina, and I have a minor case of depression, but i dont tell anyone. My parents are the only ones who know. My little sister, Paige, is too young to understand. I'm not really a social butterfly. I try to be, but it ends up making me look like an annoying brat. I'm in love with people that dont know i exist. Sound firmiliar? thought so.

"RILEY GET UP I WOKE YOU UP 45 MINUTES AGO! YOURE SO LAZY. YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE!" My mother was at it again. Since we moved up here, she's been so mean, and irritable. she hasnt been like this since that bastard she calls a boyfriend left. but wait theres more! She begged him to come back, and they're still together. I guess i should get up so she doesnt smack me. I still havent unpacked. Great, just great. I rummaged through my 5 suitcases and finally found a decent looking outfit. i slid into my highwaisted, acid washed, cut off shorts and buttoned and zipped them up. I threw on my Guns n' Roses crop top and my pair of plain black vans. Considering i know no one here, i would like to make a decent first impression. I wondered around the new house looking for a bathroom to do my makeup and hair in. I eventually found a mid-sized bathroom and flipped the lights on. Wow Riley, you freaking forgot your makeup. great. Now i have to find my way back to my room, and back to that stupid bathroom. I hate it here. When i finally found my room again, i searched through all my bags once again, and found a hair brush, along with my makeup bag and my straightner. I snuck around the corner of the hall to find another bathroom. damn. how many are there?! anyway, i turned on the lights and plugged in my straightner into the outlet. i turned the dial to the hottest temperature, knowing how my hair is - A wavy mess. the good thing is, its not very long, so i can tame it pretty easily. its about down to the bottom of my rib cage. i ran the purple hair brush through my tangled rats nest roughly, pulling out tons of hair. good thing im not tender headed. i parted it a little to the right to the normal spot and brushed it again. i reached for my straightner,but knowing me, i grabbed the plates and not the hand part. well, that hurt. now i have a bright red burn across the four fingers on my left hand. i brushed it off and started straightening. i put my brunette locks inbetween the hot metal plates and straightened them over and over. its so hard to do this to my wild mess i call hair. i finally was done and began putting on my makeup. all i wear is a thin line of black, liquid eyeliner and mascara. i slid the thin brush over the edge of my eyelid, leaving a black trail of makeup behind on each eye. Next, i combed through my eyelashes with my mascara brush, making them longer and darker. Finally. I'm done. I guess i'm ready to start the day. I guess im gonna take Paige to the local playground/park to make friends. Let's see how this goes. I grabbed my phone off the charger and stuck it into my pocket along with 20 bucks incase we wanted a drink or something. I found my way through the house to moms room and asked her if i could walk around a little and take Paige to the park.

"whatever, just dont get yourself killed." she said ignorantly.

"thanks. really appreciate it." *note the sarcasm*

Paige and I reached the end of our extremely long driveway and headed towards where we thought the park was. She held my left hand by my fingertips and i held my phone in the other. My feet were already getting tired from walking. I could tell she wasn't very fond of walking either. We finally wound up finding the park and waked through the gate. It was a fairly small playground, but it was pretty big also. Easy to get lost in for a 4 year old.

"Don't leave this playground ok?" I said to Paige, making sure I got my point across.

"Okay! I'm not a three year old you know!" she sassed back.

"That's right. You're a four year old. Big whoop. Have fun." I said smiling. I walked around the gate for a minute, and ended up finding a bench to sit on. Sucky bench dude. This cute little girl walked up to me and asked me to play with her. She was such a beautiful little munchkin. She had red, curly hair and rosey red cheeks. Her eyes were a faint green, and they were beautiful. I of course agreed to her request,but made sure I saw Paige first. She lightly grabbed my wrist and pulled me along with her. We went up stairs, through tunnels, down poles and slides, up ladders, and who knows where else. She stopped to turn around and tell me she had to go. I smiled and gave her a hug, then she ran off to her mom, who was very friendly may I add. I called for Paige, and she came running from another little girl about her size. The other little girl followed and confronted me.

"Sissy this is skylynn." Paige said.

I already knew who she was. I can't believe she's standing right in from of me. I completely forgot the Griers lived in NC. I played it cool though. Knowing they might be here somewhere.

"Hi skylynn! it's cool to meet you!" I said smiling.

I was freaking out. What of they're here. Pretend you don't know them. Keep it cool. I hung out with skylynn and Paige for about ten minutes when I got a text from mom telling us to get home. Paige and I said our goodbyes to skylynn and decided to head home. We were heading towards the gate when I felt a little tug at my shirt.

"Wait Riley wait." Little skylynn said.

"Yeah?" I said turning around to meet her.

Apparently it wasn't just her. I led my eyes from skylynns face to his. Damn. He is fine.
