Picture:Ollie
I hear my name coming from inside our family's little shack. "Coming," I say as I head inside dreadfully. I already know what my mom is going to say. "Stop being so sad," , "Being poor isn't that bad." I walk into the house and I see my mom doing the dishes like usual and my brother drawing you might notice I didn't say I had a dad, it's because well he's dead. "How can I not be sad or depressed?!" My life is fucking depressing! I said under my breath. Luckily no one heard me.
I walk over to see what my brother is drawing. To me it looks like a wealthy family and a dog. Well that's sad. "What are you doing," I ask him.
"Drawing how I wish our family was," he said sadly. God dammit I think. "Oh ok," I say awkwardly. I go back to my room. Actually me and my brother share it. My moms brother built us bunk beds so we can have our own beds. I of course took the top. I got my book and went up to the top bunk. I fell asleep after a hour of reading. I really didn't want to get up. I would rather just bring food to my room and hibernate. Why can't I be a bear! I did get up eventually. When I did everyone was already awake.
"Good morning, breakfast is on the table," said my mom when I came into the kitchen. There was toast and eggs on the table. I quickly ate then ran to my room to get dressed. My cat was already in there when I walked in(did I mention I had a cat, well I do.) I put on my usual outfit, skinny jeans, baggy t-shirt or a flannel, and a beanie because my hair is always a mess. I didn't have to get dressed because it was Saturday but I feel a little productive when I'm dressed. "Olive! Come do your chores," I hear my mom say from the dining room. My real name is Olive but the few friends I have call me Ollie.
Speaking of friends, I don't have that many. My bestest friend is Jean. He is the gayest boy you will ever meet!! He has a boyfriend named Griffin, we call him Griffey for short even thought he doesn't like it! My other best friend is Kendal(Kenny for short). I have known her since I was born. We were born in the same hospital! Then there is my crush, Laine. I have liked him since he moved to my school. He's really tall!! We like a lot of the same things, I guess you could call him perfect(even though no one is perfect.)
After I did my chores I got to go over to Jean's house. He isn't as poor as me put he isn't the richest but he is smart so that makes up for it. When I got there I went strait to his room. When I walked in he was pacing back and forth in the middle of his room then he said
"I'm moving to Washington!"
