REAL World ?

Chapter 1

HEATHER'S POV

Hi I'm Heather. I'm in the 8th grade going to the 9th. I'm quiet in public but normal at home 😄 . I can be shy until you get to know me. I have only one friend and her name is Imani. I'm 14 years old and I get very good grades. Straight A's in fact 👌. B's aren't really aloud in our house. But my older brother, Harry gets them all the time sometimes lower than that 😮. He's a Junior in high school and he plays football so you can say he's a jock 😑. It's only the two of us. My parents doesn't have anymore kids. Now, my mother she's a house wife. She cooks and clean now all of a sudden. He had personal chiefs and maids to do that for us, but they got laid off. No one will tell me why though. Now, my father he works for this top notch company. He makes a large amount of money. That's why I'm home schooled and get whatever I want. But I don't really ask for much. Lately my dad been looking for other jobs and staying home a lot. I don't really know why though. Sometimes my mind tells me he's been laid off of his job too, but I just ignore it because I know that will never happen.

"Heather !" My mom yells from the bottom of the stairs.

"Coming !" I yelled while closing my lap top .

"Hey honey." She said while planting a soft kiss on my forehead. Then she continued. "Family meeting in the entertainment center come on."

We went to the entertainment to see Harry and my father already sitting down.

"Alright. As you can tell I've been home a lot and not really at work" my father started.

"Yeah what's up with that." My brother stated.

"I have something to tell you guys." My father said sounding a little worried.

"What is it ?" I asked.

"My job let me go" he stated.

"What you mean ?" I asked hoping that he ment for a vacation.

"He means he's fired" my brother said with frustration" then he continued. "I knew he was going to get fired soon" he said then left the room leaving only My father, mother and I.

"F-fired." I stuttered.

Father shakes his head ashamely "Yes sweety, I'm sorry" he added.

I get up and hug him. "It's okay daddy. We'll be fine." I said with a warmth smile.

"Thanks Heather." He said while feeling a little better.

"I'm going to try to talk to Harry." My mother said while walking out of the room.

"Does that mean we have to move?" I asked .

"No, I have enough money saved for the bills. But that's it. I'm sorry but you won't be able to get things for awhile and your allowance will have to be on hold until I find another job that pays well" he stated.

"Alright. I'm going to go back to my room now."

He nods.

AUGUST 21

It's August and it's almost time for school to start up. I'm excited but then again I'm really nervous 😫😩✊. I don't know if people are going to like me or if I'm going to be bullied. I'm pretty sure I would fit in with the smart kids, but I just don't want to be around smart kids. I want to hang with everyone. Lately I've been searching things on the internet about public schools and it seems like it's not that bad, but then again it can be. All you have to do is try to fit in, but not to hard or they'll think your a loser because you tried to hard to be in the "clique" . I think that's what it is. School starts in a couple of days on September 3. I don't know why but it starts early.
