New fucking shit school, new fucking state Thanks dad.
My dad works for the government and because of that we move a lot but do I have a say in all of this? The answer is NO
I have to go to a new school and once again I’m going to have to be moved minimum two months later.
I just want to settle down somewhere, god can't my dad get that.

Sometimes I just hate my life...
I’ve been bullied for half of my life so I’ve been bullied for 8 years now.
I hated school for that, every single time one of my bullies sees me they beat me up, and I didn’t even know why.
I just want to get away from it all.
_______
7:00am My alarm starts playing, signalling the first day of school what fun. Not
Hopefully this is not going to be a super stereotypical school, I start to get dressed into jeans and a t-shirt I leave my hair as it is you know the bed hair.
and I put my lip ring in, my dad hates it, that’s why I wear it
I run downstairs to see Delta (my dog) asleep on the sofa.
I grab an apple, I need to get out before my dad catches m-
“Hi Kaleb” Fuck wasn’t fast enough.
I didn’t waste a second from running off and heading to school on my motorbike.
______
I woke up to the sound of my phone alarming me that I had to go through another day of hell...again.
I then began to get dressed into what I usually wear which was just a oversized sweater and leggings as for my hair I just left it down after I brushed it.
I went downstairs, quickly made breakfast for me and food for my dog Blue who afterwards jumped on the couch and just slept, lazy dog.
Afterwards I quickly said goodbye to my aunt and ran to school after hearing her say “Have a nice day, Ruby” Sure...I thought.
