As I walked home, I slowly opened the door. As I put my bag in the counter, I ran towards my room. Tears rolled down my cheeks like a river. I hated high school and everyone in it. My friends left me out today, I didn't get to kick he soccer ball in soccer and no one would listen to me either. I jumped as my door opened, "hey honey, how was school today" Mum said soothingly. "Bad it was all bad Mum!" I cried as she made her way to my bed, she sat down on her edge and hugged me, my eyes fell heavy as I drifted into a deep sleep. I woke up to the sound of muffled words coming from the lounge room, Mum was talking to dad "I think our baby is getting bullied" Mum whispered, I sat there and listened trying to make out the other words.

Quickly I ran to my bed as the door of my room opened "Mum and dad are talking about you, they think you are getting bullied" my twin brother Sid said. "I'm not" I replied honestly, Sid got his laptop and we watched some Netflix together until the door knob rattled. We both looked at each other as Sid ran to hide - we were supposed to be asleep -, Sid rushed under the bed and curled up in a ball as I pulled the blanket over my head "wake up Sridhi" Mum said softly. I pulled the blanket off me as I pretended to wake up, Mum left the room to get dressed. "That was close!" Sid laughed, I got up and walked to the bathroom, my think black hair was getting long, it was almost down to my knees. I washed my face and put on my eyeliner, today I was running for house captain with my best friend Angie.

I jumped out of the car at the school gates, I was very nervous today, I checked my pocket to make sure I still had a speech and luckily I did. I saw my friends and ran over to them, they all hugged me and We all continued the conversation as normal. The bell echoed through the school warning us all to get to class, I grabbed Angie and we went to our house parade. Angie, Gemma, Jaimie and I were all waiting nervously up the front to do our speech. I noticed that Angie didn't even have a speech, how? My name got called first, everyone clapped; I felt like everything was in slow motion "good morning everyone, my name is Sridhi and I am here today to convince you I want to be house captain" I started to say. It felt like I was going on forever until the applause made me snap back into reality, Angie made her way to the front "I so I forgot my speech by my name is Angie and you should vote for me" was her whole speech.

The day came to an end, I waited for my mums car to arrive as me and Sid walked over to the gates. I ran to get her front seat but Sid got there first, Mum greeted us and took us home. On the table was a box of KFC just waiting to be eaten. We all sat around the table and dad went on about his day. I ate the KFC chicken and then we all sat around the fireplace and watched some Tv. What was tomorrow gonna be like? Today was such a good day that maybe high school isn't as bad as I thought. Yeah
