*BRIINNNGG!*

" well, time for lunch." I walk to the cafeteria and get my food.

"Hiya!" I hear as i'm trying to figure out where to sit.

" uh, hi." I replied.

" oh sorry if I startled you. I'm Michelle. Wanna sit with me?" She asked.

"Oh sure. My name's Hope." I said.

" Omg! That is like the prettiest name ever!! I wish I had your name!" Michelle said.

" blah, blah this, blah blah that... This girl could talk for hours. " I thought.

" So where are you from? You look new. I've never seen you around here before." She said.

"Yeah, i'm new here. Uh, i just moved here from New York City. " I said.

BRRIINNGG!

"Thank God! The final bell. My first day is over!! :)" i thought to myself.

As I start to walk home I remember what will happen if i do go home. Once I enter that door, i'm my stepdad's personal punching bag. So, i walk towards the park instead of home.

-Text message from Stepdad.

Where are you? You should have been home an hour ago. Text me back soon.

"Ugh." I thought to myself. I reply.

-To stepdad.

I'm at the park. I'm fine.

*VIBRATE*

-From Stepdad

Get home now or you're in big trouble.

As I get up, collect my stuff from off the bench and start to walk home, I wonder if this is such a good idea.
