"Leave. Me. ALONE!" I slam the door and bury my face into my blankets. Having two really annoying siblings really doesn't help with the stress from school. So much homework, so many assignments, bad teachers, strict parents...

I try to ignore the sniggering of my two sisters as they shriek and laugh outside of my room. I get up and sit by my window. The moonlight shines into my room, the stars twinkle. It's so pretty and peaceful when I'm alone. The best time of the day is night. Everybody is sleeping - no one to make fun of me. The sun is asleep too.

I wipe the tears from my face and flop onto the bed once more. Sleeping is nice. I often have dreams where this mystery girl always helps me feel better, but of course it's only a dream.
I sigh quietly. I'm just a little lonely. No, that's a lie; I'm really lonely.

The last thought I have before I doze off is:

I wish I could escape from reality. Even just for a little bit.
