It was still dark out when my alarm went off telling me it was time to get up and get ready for school.

I grabbed my phone off my night stand and turned off my alarm the time read 5:00 am 

I scrolled through my notifications and just laid in my bed till I had enough energy to get up. after about 5 minutes I got up and went to the bathroom right next to my room 

when I got in their I did my business then brushed my teeth and splashed some water on my face to wake me up a bit more.

I went back to my room and opened my closet door and looked through a couple shirts before I settled on my  favorite Blue sweater 

I went over to dresser and opened  my drawer and grabbed out a bra and slipped that on then my shirt, then I opened another drawer and took out a pair of blue jeans and slipped those on. I went over to my bed and knelt down to grab my pink Nike high tops I have such a small room that all my shoes can only fit under my bed or I'll trip over them not that I have many. I only own three pairs and one is going in the trash soon.

So I live in a trailer park with my mom and my older brother used to live here to but he's got his own place now he still visits once every two months, anyway we've been poor all our life but not because my mom's a alcoholic or a druggie.  See After my mom and my dad split my mom didn't have a job so we ended up in a shelter until my mom could get back on her feet. When she had enough she bought an apartment in a bad place of town but it was the only thing we could afford at the time, anyway after that we just kept moving around from apartment to apartment then finally we found this trailer park about 5 years ago and we've been here ever since. My mom's kept a good job for about 3 years now but it's not enough to be spending money at the mall all the time with my friends like normal teenagers. we have just enough to pay the bills and to eat and sometimes we might have extra money for clothes if really necessary.

Mom refuses to let me get a job and help, she says that I shouldn't have to work and worry about the bills and to just be teenager and have fun.

I still see my dad too, maybe once or twice a week depends whose busy at the time it could be me with homework or dad with work. anyway that's my family

I was walking out of my room when my mom called me 

"Mia"

I stepped into the kitchen a second later

"yeah" I said

"I picked up an extra shift so I'll  be home some time in the morning" she said while looking for her car keys

I sighed sadly

"so your pretty much working all day" I sad with a frown

she turned and looked at me and frowned to

"yeah I'm sorry baby but we need the money" she said

"why can't you let me help" I said

" no you need to be having fun and not worrying about the trailer" she said in a stern voice

"Fine I just really wanted to spend time with you after school" I said sadly

"I know baby, I do to but I have to take this shift but as soon as I'm of next we'll have a mother and daughter day I promise" she said with a smile

"Ok fine" I playfully groaned trying to hide my grin because I'm stubborn, I'm really looking forward to this mother daughter day we barely have those anymore 

"alright well make sure to eat breakfast and lock the door when you leave for school" she said 

she kissed me on my forehead and turned and went out the door, a couple minutes later I heard the car turn on and went to the window and waved as she pulled out and sped down the road
