It’s
Thanksgiving break for all my friends. I went to my high school to meet up with
a friend from there. Except she neglected to tell me she was not coming. People
always forget about me. My mom wasn’t coming for a few hours, and I didn’t want
to wait in my old school, so I decided to walk home. In the cold rain. It gave
me an hour to think.
I got home mid-afternoon. I waited
for my mom to pick me up so we could go to the train station together to pick
up my brother. But she did not come. I later learned that she had a phone
conference that ran late.
My mom finally come home with my
brother and I bounded down the stairs to greet him. I followed him up to his
room, showing him my newly pierced ears and my pink streaks in my hair. But he
did not listen.
I drew back the rubber band around my wrist. It’s time to go to my room, shut the
door, and play loud music.
