I thought I might as well go back to my house before my parents had a heart attack. I knew they really didn't care but they acted like they did. Too bad they weren't good actors. I started going off north towards John Street.  Five houses down from the corner sat our house. Looks normal on the outside, but it’s a dungeon on the inside. I walked in through the door since I was too sore from falling out of that stupid tree to climb back into my window. I had to drop off my game first though. I walked around the back of my house, threw my game and weapons in the bushes for later and limped off to the front door.
    They were waiting for me, arms crossed right in the front hallway.  Ever since I walked through that door I regretted it. Their worried faces were fake and I knew now that nobody cared about me. I now knew I was alone in this complicated world and these plain white walls tore my heart apart. There was nobody that wanted me. Was it because I was stubborn, or a loner, or was it just because I gave nobody the time of day? I guess we’ll never know…
    I was beautiful though. My flowing red hair glistened in the wind when I ran. And my baby blue eyes sparkled in the sunlight. I wasn't very tall but I was thin and that was good enough for me. I'm not popular but that's okay with me. Why would anyone want to transform into a snob just to get attention. And why would you betray anyone who has ever seen the real you, I don't know...
