Gone were the days where I could roam freely. Due to a small problem, I wasn't allowed to go anywhere after school or leave the hell I call my house. I was expected to stay in my room for 8 hours until I fell asleep. The only time I ever got to leave was to eat, and the food wasn't good, anyway.
Wake up, go to school, come home, eat, sleep, repeat. This is the same cycle I'm stuck with every day, 24/7, all year long. I don't even have a phone. The only connection I have with the world is school. So, for only 6 hours a day, I get to socialize and pretend I have a regular life.
It's not fun. At all. I've always wanted to go out with friends, catch a movie, even run errands. I'm that desperate. But due to one tiny, teeny problem, I can't leave for long.
I'm on house arrest.
