I sit in my English class and wait for our english teacher, Mrs.Davis to arrive. Everybody is talking to each other, laughing ,chit-chatting , playing and teasing each other EXCEPT me. Nobody likes to talk to me as I am always, in a book reading something or zoning out looking at it . 

And with this the teacher arrives; the class goes on; the class finishes and I go back to start the rest of the day. And one of the reasons people hate me here is cause of my marks. I get good grades despite my life being shit. The lunch starts ; I sit at the cafeteria , after finishing my lunch, I take out a book and start reading it to fill my lunch time with at least doing something.

And the the whole cafeteria goes silent. There is no need of me looking up to see who it is as the sound of heels echoing clarifies it all. It is ,Miles Efferson . I take a deep breath getting ready for what's to come next. 

And the moment comes . A whole glass of juice has been spilled on me. "Nerd"Miles says. I don't know what grudges she holds against me. 

I look dead ass straight into her eyes. My eyes filled with a fire and an intensity that her eyes widens and she realises she did wrong. A fire wanting to slap her right in her caked-face and pull her hairs out of her skull. SO, this time I do what I feel like doing. I slap her, then placing a strong blow in the middle of her face, making sure her nose gets broken. She goes stumbling back and on the floor. The cafeteria is either whispering or video taping. 

I stand in front of her. Those green eyes staring right back at me in utter disbelief. And a smirk is played on my face . I walk away 'cause there are no words needed. 

I pick up my things and make a bee-line towards my locker. The incident flies like smoke in the air.  I don't regret what I did there . I am proud of myself even if my father hates me. And school ends . 

I return to the very place I used to call home before. But now it is just a place where I get abused.  I am really grateful for my timing cause my father is not here right now. I get to my room; clean up and go to the park . 

I sit there, and smile ,looking at the happy families playing with their kids. I immediately zone out. 

"Jessie, baby come down" my mum says.

"No mommy, I am not coming down until and unless you slide with me"I say, sitting on the top of the slide.

"She is as stubborn as you" my dad mumbles.

Causing me and mum to laugh and she then smacks his head from the back, making her way towards me to climb up the slide. 

A tear escapes my eye and then there is no holding back. I cry and cry what seems like hours, and then finally I make it to home. I get to my room. Today is my day or it is what I call it. It is FRIDAY. YAYY!!!! Which means he's not come back home the whole day. I sit there on my bed looking out of the window when suddenly my stomach grumbles. 

I get to the kitchen and look what is there to cook. I end up on making lasagna for myself. When i'm finished, I clean the whole floor and settle on the couch. I stab on my lasagna and finish it .
