"Gale, you can't stay in your room forever. You have school! Your so lucky that I let you live here. If it weren't for me you would be on the streets! So get off your lazy butt and get ready there's breakfast on the table. The buss will be here in 30." Milly yells through my door. Not the first time shes done this.

"Shut up Milly! Your not my mom!" I mumble as I rub my eyes.

"I know I'm not your mom. Your mom left you, your dad ditched you and I haven't. I know I'm not, nor do I want to be! If I was, i would leave you too. Gosh! Your such a pain. No breakfast if you don't go to school. See you tonight I'm heading out." Milly walks out the apartment that she's renting and slams the door. (Shes not mad)

I sigh and slowly get up from sitting in the closet all night. "Jeez it herts to sleep in a closet!" I groan and rub the back of my head. "Guess I'm going to school...thats a pain. I wonder who missed me the most?" I say sarcastically.

I throw on a black tang-top grab a random jacket that's laying on the floor along with the pants that were closest to itp. I grab a pair of red and black striped socks along with black platform shoes with white laces. I look at my messy reflection on the small cracked circular mirror.

Messy blond hair that is shaggy and unevenly cut, bcs i was to tired to go to a Barbour-shop. Dead eyes with smudged black eyeliner under my red looking eyes. A dark scar on my cheek, from one of my moms exes when she was still around, that stands out against my white skin. A brow pearcing with a red gemstone in the middle, and several pearcings on my ears that are slightly pointed. Wrinkled black tang-top with a dark red zip up hoodie that is also wrinkled. I tilt my neck up to see one of my late night decisions, that actually was a good idea, for once-in-my-life. A tattoo of a male hand that is taned holding a knife that has a blue handle with red gemstones down the middle of the whole knife, and a green snake with yellow eyes wrapped around the whole knife and the hand. Behind those things are flowers that cover my whole neck, black with dark purple tiped petals.

I grin "The teachers won't like you will they" I chuckle "But what can they do?"

I walk out my room and immediately step back into my room "JEEZZZ ITS SO BRIGHT! GOSH! BRIGHT!" I blink twice then take a cautious step into the blinding wall of light. I stand there for a second trying to get used to the blinding light of day. I get a text.

Milly: I made pancakes for you. They might be cold by now. Hurry up the buss should be just arriving. Take one and run, and don't think you can fool me about going to school don't worry ill know if you aren't there.

Me: OK! Ok! Ok! Just leave my pancakes alone!!!

I put my phone back in my pocket and grab three pancakes i shove one in my mouth and hold the other two in my hand. I swing open the door and nearly run into an old woman. I take a step back and slam the door. Was that the best thing to do, probably not, buut it is a lot when its your first interaction with humans besides the one hear from every day.
