New town. New identity. Same crazy.

I love it!!! (insert enthusiastic voice )

(cough, cough)

Not!!

I hate it.

I hate having to to hide who I am. But to protect the civilians and my new home from being destroyed like my last ones, I have obey the leader's rule. No matter if I do disapprove.

But all of that changes when I meet, more like bump into someone who's special.

DOOR OPENS.

"Naomi Satchel!" my mother yells as she comes blaring through the doors.

"Yes?" I say as I still lie under the covers.
My mother pulls my cover from my body and tosses it on the floor.

I quickly sit up in my bed and glare at her.

"Get your ass up now you have half an hour left before your first-period starts and you better not be late," she demands.

"Mom, this isn't my school. This isn't my home. I don't want to go." I whine and beg my mother at the same time to let me stay home.

What was I thinking? My mom has an image to uphold being this perfect mother who loves and cares about her little baby girl. We both know the truth. Until a few years ago, I never even knew she existed. She and my father both agreed to send me here because they couldn't stand the fact that I fell in love with a black boy. Although neither of them would ever admit, that's the only reason why I know of her. I don't want to attend a school where I'm going to have to forsake who I truly am just to fit into their liking. How can I explain that to my mom when she sees everything to be black and white.
