Hey my name is Harlow river, And I am 15 years old. I have always been that girl that always smile and laughs, but things got turned around, the first time, I showed my hidden talent. This is the story about my life.
)) Harlow's pov ((
"Wake up Harlow!" I slowly try to open my eyes, but closed them fast. "HARLOW RIVER!" My stupid foster mom yells. She's just like Cinderella's step mother! She's literally a pain in the ass. I slowly try to open my eyes again, so i finally have them open enough, to see something. And there she stood with the most angry face. I mean, those eyes can kill, if you look to much into them. "What have I done to get you?" Can I hear her mumbling. Always the same words. She says it, every moment she think I'm not listening, but she gotta be pretty dumb to not see, that I can hear her every time. "GET UP OR YOU CAN GO WITHOUT BREAKFAST!" Man she can scream! Just shut up already! "I'm up I'm up" I'm sure, that it just came out as a little scared mumbling. I can hear the sound of the door slamming. It's safe to get up. I go over to my little wardrobe, to find some of my normal clothes. Just some denim pants and a red shirt. I hurry down, just to see more of the angry face. I don't really care about breakfast, I just go by a really angry woman. And without saying a word, I'm out of the door and on the way to school.

"Haaaaaarliiiii!" I turn around and get a big hug from my best friend. Her name is Zoe, and she's a little higher than me. I'm the smallest in the class so that makes sense. "You'll never guess what happened in the weekend" she says to me, with a big smile on her face. I can't help but smile a little my self. "Oh no i don't really know" Feel the irony! She had probably just eaten something really amazing. She always come to me after the weekend and tells me what delicious food she ate. "It was this chocolate with caramel in it, AND it tastes like heaven" I knew it. "Hey can I stay with you tonight?" i ask, with the biggest puppy eyes i could make "Is it you mother?" "She is not my mother" I say quickly, and clench my hand. I really hate it, when people call my step mother "my mother", because she will never ever be my mother. "Sorry girl I forgot" Zoe put a hand on mine, so i relaxed a little. She just know how to make it good again. "We gotta hurry before class start" I say just to get on another topic.
>>class<< "Harlow!" I open my eyes quickly in shock. F*** I fell asleep. "Sorry mrs i didn't get enough sleep" Seriously that's the best excuse, that I could find "Don't sleep in my class" she says and go up to the blackboard again. I didn't listen the rest of the class. Zoe tried to get me to listen, but it didn't help at all.
"Harlow!" Zoe scream into my ear "What is it with you today? You're in your own little world" "Sorry it's just..." Why is it so hard? Just say it!! "The reason is..." My eyes begin tearing up "Hey just say it... It's okay. I'm your best friend" It's okay. I can trust her. "Today is... the day... my parents died" I begin seeing blurred, I can't hold the tears back anymore. "Oh come here honny" Zoe hugged me tight. I love the warmth of her body. She's the only one I really trust. "Don't be sad! We're gonna go home and watch SHADOW HUNTERS after school okay?" "No I wanna see the mazer runners!" It's the best movies ever. "But we have seen The Maze Runners about a hundred times!!!" she says with the most fake sad face "Okay we can see it" she added after a little stare competition. I light up and smile with the biggest smile I can. "But hey, it worked" I looked at her confused "What do you mean?" I ask " You don't cry and you even smiled" "You're the best" I said and smiled.
