(A long story so hop on for the ride.)
New town, new state is hard especially when you make it through middle school and are a freshman in high school. What if you live alone... in a large apartment family pays for it. you live alone. But it's b...
I ran my hand under the warm bath water. I undressed completely. I look in the mirror waiting for the water to fill up. I look at myself. Light freckles lay across my nose along with a piercing. Then the thing I hate the most.. My eyes. One is Hazel Green one is blue green. Now it may sound cool but people call me crazy. And it scares people. So I tend to wear glasses. I took my hair down. My hair is super long. I haven't cut it in about 4 years. It's down to my waist and it's wavy its dark brown..

I step into the bath and sit down and turn off the running water. I go on social media on my phone for almost an hour I drain the bath. I turn it into a shower. I wash my hair which takes super long. My mother never let me cut my hair. I wash my body and shave. I turn the water off and grabbed the towel. I flip my hair over and run my cotton towel down it to dry it with no frizz. I dry my body then get out of the tub. I slide on my underwear and then a bra. I look and I grab my black sweatpants and put them on. I put on a black shirt and then a black hoodie on. I braid my hair and then put in in the back of my jacket. I tend to hide my hair. I do light makeup. I put on glasses that aren't prescription I grabbed my wallet and put it in my back pocket that zips. Nobody knows my body shape unless your in my home. I tend to wear dark colored clothes and hide my hair and wear my hoodies.. So nobody really talks to me unless their making fun of me which turns out bad for them. Guys used to pick fights. I wasn't always like this in the 2nd grade I wore pink and laughed and had friends now... I shut myself out. My nose piercing is almost always a black ring or a black stud. And I tent to wear a lot of makeup and contact lenses.. It makes people leave me alone. And not crazy ones just normal brown contact lenses.. I put on black converse and walked out of my house with my phone and all. I downloaded Uber. Which is when you order a person to pick you up in their car apparently. So I orderd a simple honda. I got inside and told them take me to staples. Which they did. I got out and walked inside I bought backpack, pens, binder, paper, binder clips, ruler, pencils, and notepads. I orderd another Uber. I get home and go inside. I set up my backpack. I eat an apple. I don't eat alot... I layed down on a black couch. I look around mother knows me well. Black white red and blues... That's it. I look over that's where they put the WiFi router. Okay.. TV and remote. Ooh Netflix. I stood up I have better things to do. I walk out side and walk over to the elevator. And step onto the street. It looks trashy. New York is beautiful... This is litter spray paint. Homeless and well... It looks like trash. I walk around and see a town square.. Awe cute its so small.... I look around there is a mall? I smile to myself. I walk towards it I walk in. Loud.. Great. I smile and walk upstairs. I'm carrying $200 on me and my card. I check the time is 2:30pm... I walk to hot topic and look around. I bought a new nose stud.. It was 32 dollars.. And it's a clear diamond.. I walk out. I look around. Hmm clothes shopping? I walked into Macy's. I look at blacks and maroons. I smile. I leave after spending 69 dollars. I walk out. And walk into a shoe store. I leave with a new pair of converse. Another 60 dollars. Thank god I'm using my card. I think. Backpack.. I walk into a store and look at the backpacks. A cute black velvet backpack I picked it up. $30 out of my pocket again. I leave with my bags and call an Uber and go home then walk to a fast food store. I eat some McDonald's And I drink a milkshake. A group of guys walk in laughing. Their so loud. They make fun of a small strong nerd that is probably an 7th grader. I walk over.
"Is there a problem here?" They looked at me. Now I'm not nice but it isn't cool when people are bullied. And I don't care. The guys looked at me.
One spoke up. "Names Josh. Nothings wrong little lady. I'm sure you should step aside and give me your number." Oh come on he isn't even hot. Although is friends are kind- what am I saying..? I shook the thoughts.
"Did you just call me little lady? You're not that much taller mister 5'7." I say with sass. His friends start laughing they pull him back and they leave.
"You okay?" I asked the guy that was being picked on.
"Yeah it's normal. "
"Don't let it be. Stand up for yourself."
He just looks down and nods then walks away. I go home. I unpack stuff and look at the time it's already 6:00? Wow.. Today has been fast... Tomorrow is school day.. I search where it is.. Oh it's four miles away.. I set an alarm for tomorrow at 4 am.. I watch TV until I fall asleep on the couch. I wake up to the alarm I set.
*********** I'd like to say this is a bit rushed these next chapters will be really long! And detailed more and a lot less skipping.
