Macy, my step-mom, comes in my room without a single knock on the door. When she attempts to take my card that's made for Principal Love, she saw me shaking underneath my blanket. She leaves my room without saying anything to me, but didn't take my card. It's unusual for me to wake up at four in the morning, but I decided to get ready for school like normal.

I was so scared, I pack Halo in my school bag so I have something to cuddle with. When I finish brushing my teeth, I decided to go the kitchen to look for bagels to have for breakfast. Macy stands in the kitchen looking furious because I woke up at a unusual time.

I jumped and respond nervously, "M-Macy! What are you doing here?!"

"What are you doing out here at four in the morning?"

"Oh. Since I couldn't sleep, I decided to go to the school even though it's pretty early."

"What...are...you... THINKING?!"

I jumped when she continues, "ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SCHOOL AT FOUR IN THE MORNING?! I COULDN'T DESCRIBE HOW FURIOUS I AM AT YOU! YOU'RE SO LUCKY YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO RUN OFF ON YOUR OWN! I WAS GONNA MAKE YOU STAY HOME FOR THE DAY WHILE WORKING ALL DAY LONG!"

"I'm so sorry, I won't do it again I promise!"

She stomps her left foot while screaming in pure rage when I start screaming, attempting to surround me in the corner, "YOU BETTER NOT COME BACK HOME CRYING BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO TEACH YOU A LITTLE LESSON YOU HEAR ME?!"

"Y-Yes ma'am."

"THEN GET OUT OF HERE! AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL EVENING OR I'LL MAKE YOU STAY UP ALL NIGHT BY WORKING AROUND THE HOUSE!!!"

I ran out of the corner of the kitchen and leave the house crying my eyes out. She later exits the kitchen to go back to sleep.
