Changing in a Different Way

I wondered and soon it came to dinner time. I didn't even get a chance to experience a lesson in the school. With my dinner money I got a portion of chips and a can of cola. I still had two pound left. I better save it.

I didn't want to eat chips and walk, or be out on the streets. I knew, just by swiftly glancing over the BlueBerry Hill school Rules, that the kids were allowed out for an hour at lunch. I needed to get away. My house and school are quite close, by about half an hour. It doesn't seem like it, but compared to others it is.

After a while of walking, I realised I was in a decent park. I saw a little gate and walked through it.

Paradise.

A diamond blue lake glistened and ducks were like the little baubles that you put on a Christmas tree, and the lily pads were like the fairy lights. The star, however, was a droopy, sheltering willow tree.

I ran along the cobblestone path and pushed the thick leaves out of the way. There was a discreet little hole that let in enough sunlight just to see what you were doing. The soil was coated in a layer of dry,soft moss, which cushioned my bottom.

I ate my chips and drank my cola, but saved some for later. I fixed my hair and makeup, and read over some of the things the school had given me, like my planner and lessons.

Before I knew it dinner hour was over, and it was one o'clock.

I stood up and brushed myself down. I knew the school day ended at three, so I still had another two hours. When I was making my way out of the tree, I suddenly realised I didn't want to leave. It was just so perfect.

So I turned round and only saw what I didn't want to.

_*_*_*

"I thought you left me and went to America," I snapped.

"Well. How could I leave the love of my life." he replied. He was now leaning against the thick tree bark, so causal. I shot him a look that could kill.

"Badass girl bunking school?" he smirked.

"What do you know? You gave up on me, left me." I sulked.

"Lissy dead now Daddy-waddy. Tutty tut Autie-boo." he really just pushed it.

My hand made contact with his cheek. He fell.

"Bitch!"

I ran. I was crying my eyes out. Adam Pick. Hottest boy at the time. He left me when Lissy died.

Problem is, he was in my school uniform.

My mind was boggled  and I just walked home. Mum was washing the dishes.

"Hi sweetie. Nice day. Frank'll be back soon!" she grinned. I groaned.  Her face fell.

"Oh hun, why can't you just accept Frank, and accept the fact that your Dad is DEAD! D.E.A.D!" she screamed, tears constantly flowing. I gritted my teeth.

"Because I have no one who loves me anymore!" I screamed back furiously. I stomped of to my horrible new room.

_*_*_*

I decided to take the week off school. When I went back it atucally was my first day. Word must of got round that I had stomped off and sagged for an entire day. I just kept my head down and walked to my locker. I had nothing to place in it so I just stared in it.

Soon enough it was first period again. I didn't know what was coming at me.

It went … OK. I just did my work and answered things. My satchel was piling up with things. I emptied things like textbooks that I wouldn't need for the rest of the day or until next week.
