Why I Did It

Chapter 1

• It's funny really, all my life I was ignored by everyone but now that I'm dead people listen. Let me take you back to the day I died.

• It was just another Monday. I woke up for school at 5:30. I decided to wear black ripped jeans, a grey Guns N Roses t-shirt with a red flannel tied around my waist. I pulled on my old black Vans and went into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth first. I brush my hair and threw it up into a tight mid ponytail before doing my make up. I walk out to the kitchen and made breakfast. I made cheesy eggs and toast with peanut butter on it. A couple of minutes later my dad walked down the hall telling me.
• "You should start heading for school" he said in almost a whisper.
• He looked at me with his cold dark brown eyes. His hair was messy and becoming grey. The dark circles under his eyes seemed to have gotten darker. He's been like this since mom died. She's been gone almost a year know. I wonder if they ever found her murderer.
• "Okay" I replied.
• I left even though school doesn't start for another hour. I walk to school everyday. It usually only took me ten minutes to get there. It was always the same except for today. There was a a couple boys from school standing in the corner smoking and staring at their phone.s. As I approached I felt their glares lock on me as I couldn't up the street. I turned the corner and heard whispers. I stop dead in my track to hear what the said.
• "That the weird kid from school."
• "Yeah she's the one with all the random cuts and bruises."
• I have her in one of my classes and she sit there looking as if she is about to cry. What a freak."
• With that said I turned on my heel and continued to walk to school. An ache started deep in my stomach. I turned away as my eyes welled up with tears. I held back the water works and walked with my head down.
