The next morning I wake up and get dressed. I put on my school uniform. The same one since middle school. It's good being all skin and bones. You don't need to spend your money on new clothes.

Anyways it's a white button up shirt. A navy blue tie and a flannel navy blue skirt. Every average school uniform from here to Mississippi. I put my hair up in a bun. I then put on my dirty, creased white sneakers. It is what it is.

I grab my backpack and head upstairs. Buddy trailing right behind me. I let him outside and throw my backpack on a chair in the kitchen and start making breakfast. Eggs. Bacon. Toast and sausage patties. Gross. Makes me sick.

Dad and Mom like them. I have to make them for them. Last time I didn't, I ended up with 3 broken ribs and my right eye swollen shut. Dad was the one home. Drunk of all ages. That was dinner. This is breakfast.

I can't mess up breakfast. If I do, he'll just be drunk when I get home, remember the anger and do worse than last time. I set the tables and give them their portions. I then give them each a glass of milk.

I then go grab Buddy from outside and pet him aggressively and kiss his face aggressively. "Good boy. Stay quiet okay?" I shut him downstairs. Poor boy. Dad will beat him if he's noisy.

Only happened once. I taught him how to whisper and be quiet while he's down there. I sometimes put little dog boots on his paws to keep him quiet too. He hates those. But it keeps him safe. And me too...for a while.

I quietly leave the house. It's 7am. 2 miles to the school. School starts at 7:50. 50 minutes to spare. Technically 40. I have to get there early to find my locker and of course my classes.

I run a mile the opposite direction and into the store about a mile away. I sneak a turkey sandwich in my backpack and run out of the store. 3 smiles. 7:15. I run the first mile. I passed in front of my house again and started walking. I walk faster since I now only have 25 minutes.

Our high school is fancy. Really fancy. It's kinda like a Japanese school. Like an anime. We have gates around the school. The east gate is the most popular. I made up my mind I'll never go through there. But the others are of course south, west, and north.

We have pink cherry blossom trees all around. It's beautiful. My favorite. Unfortunately, all the full ones are by the crowded east gate. Sadness. Anyways, we also have a track in the back that's shaped more like an oval, and a huge long football field in the middle.

We also have an outside basketball court. Lots of stairs that lead towards a little walk area downtown. It's beautiful. There's red cherry blossom trees there. Red is my favorite, FAVORITE ones.

On the north side of our school are stairs that lead down to a vending machine area for the students, as well as a sidewalk that leads all the way around the school, as well as benches to sit at. And finally, the school. Which is really big. 3 stories that I'm not sure what all are for.

Highschool here is like a college elsewhere. Wander if the students are as nice as the place itself. I sigh. I walk in through the east section. I don't want to and hate how many students are around.

But it's probably the easiest way to get to the office. I need my schedule and a few extra books for chemistry. I just keep my head down and go right inside. The office is to the left of the main entrance doors. I take a deep breath and go inside. 161Please respect copyright.PENANAjTak8C4QcU
