Emma is a seven year old little girl. She has dark brown hair almost the colour black, dark jeans she has about 16 pairs of them and a dark colour shirt , her eyes change colour in the dark the turn Amber but during the day they are a nice blue sapphire and skin pale white with a hint of light brown.

No she isn't gothic but with her lifestyle things can be difficult.

Emma was lying in bed asleep tossing and turning from a nightmare she was dreaming about how people bullied her never accepted her and her parents kept bashing her. She woke to her alarm clock trying her best not to scream because of the nightmare. She laid in bed for a few minutes just sounds of a bedroom opening and heavy footsteps going to the bathroom obviously step dad's up 'another day in hell' thought Emma

Emma's Pov

I was hearing dad go to the bathroom great as I lay there I heard mum get up and shout "Emma wake you BICTH time for school!" Shouted mum it's been like this for as long as I can remember. Ever since my real dad died two weeks before I was born he had been dying of cancer and guess he could not hold on anymore mum blamed me for his death.

Ever since she has got with Michael life for me has been even worse I basically have to look after myself not that I mind but I learned very quickly and harshly not to complain about anything first time and last time I did ended up with a broken arm and nose. Yeah talk about thanks but never mind yeah a seven year old thinking like this but oh well might as well get ready for school.

I had my shower once Michael was done throwing his guts up 'again' once he was done I cleaned the bathroom which stunk like something died and been left to rot. It now smelt like lavender some incense to calm me down and most of my washing gear smelt like lavender. It was 7:30 am by the time I was finished in the shower. Considering I woke up at 7:00 am to clean the whole bathroom and everything else like ten minutes. I wasn't doing half bad. I was heading toward the kitchen to get my lunch I hardly ate anything because we hardly had any money most money went on beer and other things that I prefer not to know.

It was 8:25 when the bus come I was having a good mooring so far by now I thought I would have got punched but no which was a surprise it just makes me wonder what is going to happen when I get home I shivered just thinking about it.

As I hoped on the bus everyone was talking being loud which I drown them out like always and just listened to my music my black hair as I love to call it which it wasn't of course was coving my right eye so I could see outside the window. People were once again talking about what they got for Christmas great. I feel for these people they get visits from the guardians and they talk about them. I can never talk about them because my life is one constant nightmare no one sees me. When I lost a tooth no Tooth Fairy, like no good dreams or Christmases or Easter I get nothing I am used to it be alone is what I live for.

As we reached school I walked over to a tree that was casting the biggest shadow and sat down on the ground leaning up against the tree and pulled out my book and began reading. It only took 3 minutes before a whole group of kids came over to 'great' "Hey creep what you reading" I tried to ignore him.

Him being Jake the year 5 bully at our school he has always been like this always starting fights and everything just to go suck up to his big brother who the captain of the football time for the high schoolers. I just wanted to be left alone if I usually keep quiet they go way I thought they were leaving until I felt Jake grab my hair pulled me up and pushed me against tree I felt a bit dizzy but I alright I was used to a lot worse trust when I say you don't want to know.

"I SAID what you readin' then you ignore me what do you say we teach her a lesson when she ignore us" Said Jake smiling to his followers by know I "yeah" cheered the group of year 5s I am bit scared I knew what they could do and either way I am doomed but before anyone could lay a hand on me I saved by the bell literally. "Oh guess it's class time see you around creep" Said Jake in a very evil laugh I knew that was not the last of him he dropped me back on the ground where I gathered everything and walked to class.

Every teacher was the same they never asked me anything sometimes I thought what is the point being here where I am ridden of as nothing sometimes I wish I would just die and get over with it but I know. That if I die know I will be giving into the people and my parents but I know I will fight but sometimes I question why I do that why do I fight
