Mouse, Bolder and Shay-lyn

1

This is what Shay-lyn looks like.

"Get down here worthless price of shit" my uncle Mcgreg yelled from down stairs. I quickly jumped out of bed and put on a black hoodie with blue jeans. I brushed my hair quickly and ran down stares to see my lovely uncle. Note the  sarcasm. He's the opposite of lovely.

You never want to make him mad at all. Although I'm always on his bad side. I don't know why. I'm just me.

"What the hell took you so long" he yelled at me then after that a tingling sharp pain was forced onto my cheek. I then realize he slapped me hard. I don't do anything about it. I'm not going to cry because every time I do it makes it worse for me.

I just run out the front door. And keep running until I reach the park that's five minutes away from the school. The school is like a 20 minute walk from the house.

I always go to the park before school so I can't think about where in my life I went wrong to deserve this.
Today I sat on the bench and cried. I miss my brother Shayden and my sister Lyn. Shayden died because of me. He shouldn't have died so young. He was the best brother anyone could ask for. He was always there for me no matter what. I looked up to him and now he looks down on me.

My life used to be perfect until a year ago. Everything took a turn for the worse. My mom became so sick we had to move from Dawson Creek to 100 Mile House so I could live with my aunt and uncle. My father left us when I was 13. He said mother's cancer is too much and that he doesn't want to take care of 3 kids alone. So basically to me he's a pathetic loser.

So I lost my father and brother. I talk to Lyn every third day. And I go see my mom after school every day to see how she is feeling.

My mom thinks i don't know how bad her cancer is. But I do. I know she is dying. I know she will die but I don't want her too. Because then I ll truly be alone. Mom keeps saying she's getting better and that she'll be out but I know she isn't getting better. Only worse.

I look at my phone and see what time it is. And I'm late for school. Oh well. Wait what am I saying Mcgreg will be extremely mad at me. Oh no oh no no no. I'm dead. Shit.

I get up quickly and wipe my eyes. I don't know how long I've been sitting here crying for but I hustle to school.

Once I get in I go straight to class without going to my locker. Because I know I'm getting detention. Oh shit I'm definitely dead. Shit. Shit. Shit.

I finally get to class. "And why are you late Ms Lanes?" Mrs Viper.
"Sorry I lost track of time" I respond quietly while the whole class is watching me. I don't have any friends at all. I did at the beginning of the year but Henry and Isabella beat them up and said I was never to speak to no one again. I know I a lot of people like me but my cousins make it hard to be liked.
"Oh ok. Your aunt and uncle will be extremely mad" she said.
Everyone giggled. Usually I would be embarrassed by now but I'm not in the mood. So I say under my breath.
"Fuck off you know nothing about me"
Mrs Viper stared at me and so did the class she went to her desk and handed me a slip.
"Go now. Get out. Don't come back until your Attitude is gone. Young lady" she said firmly and I stomped it of class.

Believe or not I'm a goody two shoes. It's what everyone calls me at least. I'm usually the calm quiet nerd that speaks to no one. Well I'm not in the mood right now. And my mouth is betraying me. I hate my life.

When I finally get to the detention room I take a deep breath and enter through the door. Mr Conner was at his desk.
"Hello Shay-lyn What can I do for you?" He asked me. I handed him the slip and his eyes widen.
"Mrs Viper gave me detention for being late and I accidentally told her to fuck off" I mumble.
"Oh that's ok she probably said something to make you mad" he replied. I smiled he was always understanding. Which is why he was the Counsellor for the school.
