Jade stared into the mirror,and sized her reflection.
Baggy eyes stared back at her,red, and pleading for some few catches of sleep.
Last night,she hadn't slept at all,since memories of her past ghosts,and failures kept playing like a broken record,in her mind. One of those nights huh?she laughed shortly, breaking the reverie.
Closing her heavy lidded eyes,she gave way once more,to the clouding memories that never seemed to go away.
Dad!Jade called out to her father, knowing her mom was out, and Milan her dad,was probably getting ready for work.
Daddy!she screeched once more,stepping into the hall.No daddy,and no answer..
It was her fifteenth birthday,and she had woken up,in high spirits. Her mum,being quite a busy woman,had had,to rush out and didn't really have time,to spare,giving her birthday kisses,or wishes and Jade grew accustomed to that.
It was clear,Milan wasn't home either. She had dreamed of at least getting a hug from her dad,today. But it was quite evident,that wouldn't happen either.
Sad, and broken,she sat down on the hard tiles,with her neatly ironed uniform. Her famous mane dancing,as tears shook her frail body.
No one really cares about me she mused wretchedly. Grabbing her furred,red bag, she gently arose,and nimbly, walked to school.
Rose petals educational complex,was known for harbouring the most notorious bullies, in all of "black street",and jade fell victim, to most of the kids cruel escapades.
Growing up lithe, and smallish,she was often taunted in school, by her mates and was often the butt of jokes,amongst most schoolkids.
Greg!You idiot!do stop pulling my hair!It hurts! Jade cried out,as she wiggled out of Ben's grip. Oh shut up!you ugly thing!the big burly boy shot back at her.The only nice asset on you,is your hair he spat out,attracting wisps of uncontrollable laughter,from her classmates.
It was her birthday!her day!and all she could get, was taunting and bullying.
With tears running down her cheeks,she fled out of the class and bounded towards homewards.
Home..a place where she was supposed to feel safe and warm..
But was her home warm enough,to mend her bròken self? She knew deep down,it wasn't. .
