CHAPTER II: NOT SO GOOD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't believe my parents have decided without my consent that out of nowhere I would like to be shipped out to some random school with stuck up bitches who think of themselves as the superiors just because they know how to start a fucking fire.

To know that for Christmas, instead of time with family, you'll be spending time with strangers.

Truly unbelievable.

Just as I was zipping up my bag, I sighed. I have the whole day today with my family, I'm gonna make the most of it.

"Anne! You're bus is here hun. Don't forget to write back to our letters. We want to know how it's going for you while you're away for 2 months!"

"Only 2 months?? I mean why can't they keep her forever," mumbled Randy.

"I'll miss you too bro," I said thoughtfully.

"Whatever," he says gesturing me to leave already. It's okay. I will be so far away from you, I can taste the freedom.

After I hug and kiss my family, it's time to go. I wave goodbye with the biggest smile I can pull off until I'm gone and out of sight.

I pulled my roller backpack into the platform of the storage space, and shoved it in hard because I'm pretty sure I packed for a year.

I take seat near the rear end of the smelly bus and sat alone looking out the window to my family.

I can't believe they're really making me do this. I want to cry so hard right now because I'm already homesick and we haven't even moved yet.

I suck it up and take notice around the space I was in. My eyes followed the grease stains that started from the left hand side of the back, making its way into the front of this torture chamber on wheels. Worn out leather bus seats tattooed in the previous kid's messages to his "babe". This is pure luxury Mom. Thanks.

I fell asleep for a few hours, but it didn't last that long with all the excited girls shouting. I woke up and looked out the faded window to see what the hype was about. Wow. This place looks nothing like the fliers.
