Arielle's pov

Hi there. My name is Arielle McNight. I'm 14 and I have brown wavy hair and dull green eyes. I have braces and wear glasses. I don't wear revealing clothes like most girls my age, in fact, I wear clothes that are to big. Not by choice of course. We don't have enough money for me to get the clothes that are cute or "in" a everyone says. My father left my mother, older sister(4 years old then), and I when I was 6 months old. He hasn't tried to contact us at all. If I ever met him I would not be able to call him dad. School, is miserable. Home, is miserable. The only place I can escape is when I go to the park with my guitar. Everyday after the beatings from my bullies I go home. My mom, if she's home, is usually drunk. She either hits me or ignores me. Is it bad that I would rather be abused by my mother than ignored completely? Anyways, back to my bullies, they are the hottest guys in school. I don't know what I did to them.

FLASHBACK!!

It was my first day at a new school. My mother and I got kicked out of our other house so we moved to a cheaper house causing my to switch schools. I got up showered and and put on my usual clothes. An oversized black sweatshirt, blue jeans that were a size or two big, and my signature bandana. I don't wear makeup due to the fact we can't afford it. I put my tatted chuck taylor's on and went downstairs where my sister Julia was waiting. Julia has a job so she can afford clothes and food for us. Our mother can't keep a stable job and is rarely home. My sister and I left to go to school. School is more like he!! I get bullied daily cuz I don't dress like other girls and I pass all my classes with A's and B's. So when I got to school I tried to stay hidden in the crowd of people but it didn't work. 8 guys known as Matt, Dillon, Cameron, Nash, Jack G., Jack J., Shawn, and Taylor came up to me and started to make fun of me. They called me names like ; Slut, b!tch, Whøre, and other horrible names. Then they started hitting me and and kicking me.

END FLASHBACK!!

That was 2 years ago in 7th grade. I'm now a freshman and my sister is 18 and is moving. She is taking me with her. She got a really good job straight out of college. She is the manager of Target. I know it doesn't sound great but it pays great money. So, she decided it was time for a change for me. She went to the store and got hair dye. She came back and showed me 3 different boxes. Black, blonde, and red. I was thinking about it and asked her if she could do blonde with red tips and she told me she would do anything to make me happy. After she finished my hair we went to the mall and got a me whole new wardrobe! If this is what a shopping spree feels like, i love it! I got so many really cute outfits that actually fit! I got more bandanas and a bunch of shoes. I also got colored contacts to make my eyes prettier. We got makeup for us both to share including, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, and anything else you could imagine. We went home and I got to sleep in my new bed for the first time. I went to bed happy. Thats the first time that has happened in a while.
