The life of a palm tree

I looked inside of the box on the sidewalk and saw the most precious black and white kitten with emerald eyes, mewing quietly, waiting for someone to hear her. As I picked her up she leaned to lap at the hot coffee I had in my hand. "I am going to keep you," I whispered," and your name is Coffee."

Carson is a 13 year old girl in her own little world. She doesn't notice any of the bad stuff happening in the world today, which makes her come off as a very positive person, but this gets her all confused on life and how to handle different situations. Her many friends try so hard to help her with this struggle without having to throw away and change their bubbly friend's whole personality. Why can't Carson just be accepted?

My parents coming into my room singing Happy Birthday was the way I used to wake on my birthday. But now my birthday was a gloomy Sunday morning and I woke up to the sound of my parents yelling, as usual. Some days I just want to scream "SHUT UP!!" Especially today it was my sixteenth birthday for goodness sake. Did you guys forget about me your only daughter and child. You love me don't you.
