My life has never gone the way I wanted it to. My parents died when I was four so I never really knew them. I remember everything after the day they died. The first thing I remember is looking back at a burnt down house while I was holding a ladies hand. From what I could remember she was very nice. She drove me to my aunts house who I meant for the first time that day. She was really skinny and smelt like cigarettes. She had dyed red hair that was really faded. She seemed nice but then I realized that she was only being nice to me because the social worker was making sure it was the right house for me. Once she stopped watching over me, that's when everything changed for the worse. The lady stopped watching me when I was six. My aunt started drinking a lot and wasn't really taking care of me. She would feed me three times a day but I was never allowed snacks. She would yell a lot about how she has to do everything for me and how she has to take me to school. The sad thing is staying with my aunt the whole day is better than going to school. I really never had friends and the teacher thought I was stupid because I had trouble reading. But I didn't let that get me down. All my life I've built a wall around me and I made sure it was impossible for anyone to break down. That night when the teacher made fun of me I went home and for the whole night I practiced reading. My aunt would yell at me and tell me to shut up and go to bed but I just kept reading. The next day I went to school I read the book again and I didn't stutter. From that day on, I decided I would only depended on myself and no one else.
I'm fifteen now and still live with my aunt. She's really sick right now so I have to take care of her and myself. I'm in grade 9 and it's okay I guess. I don't really have any friends but it's okay, like I said, I like to depend on myself.
Today was a big day though. It was initiation at Rebrook high. I think it's really stupid that we have to get paint splattered in our faces and baby powder in our hair. I went to school in an okay mood. Today is not one of those days that I get excited about. Don't get me wrong I like when things go on around me that let's me forget about my problems for a while.
Right when I walk into school I get glue squirted in my face and glitter thrown all over me. I can just tell how this day is going to turn out!
