Aina

  My names Aina. I'm 16 years old. I live in London. More to the middle near Big Ben in a flat. Kinda a big posh flat. My mum and Dad both work as lawyers. So that kinda means they lie all the time. I'm an only child. Home schooled. kinda smart but thats only because i have a "top notch" teacher. But apparently its not enough for my parents. You could say i'm "pretty" but again thats only because of my parents again buying my pink dresses getting my long blond curly hair cut every week making it "perfect". I don't see my parents often. They get home late but i have a  tight scheduled. They are off every Sunday but on Sunday i'm sent to a church for some reason.  Its just another day. At the moment i'm getting into bed. The huge pink frilly thing in the middle of the room. you would think me spoiled but i don't like the bed. Or the fact that i'm given a mas ave TV, laptop, phone and all the make up and cloths. I don't like much about my life. I would give it all up if only i could. I'm so stupid. I'm just lying here. Any girl would have what i have. So why am i crying? Why am i so helpless? I'll tell you why. I'm not any girl. As of today i wont live like this. I got out of bed. I enter the sitting room. Its 10:25pm. 5 more minuets. The servent comes in. 

"Miss, why are you out of bed?" She askes.

"Don't call me miss. And i want to see mum and dad."

"Miss' you need to sleep."

She starts pushing me back to my room.

"No! I want to see them. I don't want to be perfect! I can't be perfect. I can't be any better than i am now. I want to go to a normal school actually get some friends! I want a normal room. blue walls. Normal cloths like jeans and tops!" I was yelling now.

"Miss. Ladies don't shout like that." she sighed.

"I'm not a lady! Look just tonight. Let me stay up to see them. A few minuets. please" I was begging her from the bottom of my heart.

She seemed to understand. She nodded and went back to her work. Just 3 more minuets till they would be back. I sat down on the creamy arm chair. I knew it would end up bad but oh well. 

The key turned in the lock. I stood up. I sat down again. I was scared and excited. My Mum came through first. Her blond hair roling down her shoulders as she pulled out her high bun. Dad came in. His blue eyes shining in the bright lights. He was the one to see me first. 

"Oh Aina dear, Why are you still up? Get into bed quickly." He seemed surprised.

"But dad i was hoping i could spend time with you two."

"No were still busy." Mum said. "maybe tomorrow."

I needed to tell her that i wanted to go to a new school.

"But i never see you!" I said "also i want to say that-"

"No hunny. Lets do as mum says."

"But i don't want to-"

"Thats enough. Aina. wheres the maid. She should have made sure you were in bed." Said mum.

"No mum. Lisen to me-"

Then the maid walked in.

"Oh Mrs pocard. How was you work?" She smiled but you could tell she was shy. She glared me in the eye. "Has Aina told you yet? She wants to move to a public school."

Mum and dad both looked at me mouths open wide. Mum was first to speak.

"Aina! Why on earth would you do that? your to smart and vulnerable!"

"Yes Aina lisen to your mother!"

I couldn't hold back. " I don't want to be lonely all my life! I need friends! I don't want to be perfect! I can't! Maybe if you weren't such bad parents leaving with a maid and a teacher instead of making memories with your child then i wouldn't be so lonely-" I shut my mouth with both hands. I had said to much.

I ran to my room. I couldn't talk to them again. i should of just left it alone. I had to go. I grabbed my bag and phone put the phone in and started grabbing things. All my money, jumper id card and lots more junk. I started to rip of my pj's and dug out a plain blue top and some jeans. i shoved them on and grabbed a black coat and a basketball cap. I shoved them all on and looked at the time. 11:03pm. they would all be asleep. I gabbed the bag and un -locked the door and walked out without looking back.
