I say again just slightly louder, no response. Everyone is just standing there talking to each other like they can't hear me… Like usual. I start to panic a little and start running towards them, tapping them on their shoulders or talking right towards their faces but no one responds. I start screaming, louder than I ever had before and I manage to get one person to look at me. My mother comes walking up to me," Have you finished your homework? Have you got that F up yet?" She asks, and I shake my head and look to the ground, " U-um no ma'am," I say looking to my feet like their the most interesting thing in the room. My mothers face goes into a face only she can make," You disgraceful spoiled brat! Useless little kid!" She screams bringing her hand up to hit me…/span/p

I check the time and see that by the time I'm done it's already 6:00 AM, I head downstairs to see my parents in the kitchen. " Hi Mom, hi Dad," I say in a bored tone, they don't notice anyways," How 'bout you make yourself useful and get me a cup of coffee?" My dad says and I walk over to the coffee pot and get a cup of coffee for him, then I walk outside to the small pond outside our house. My house is a tiny house made of redwood and full of windows, it's a red house with yellow trim. The wood is starting to splinter on our house so I avoid touching it at all times, our front yard has two apple trees in the front with a redwood fence in front of them. We have bright green grass with some dandelions growing here and there. The back is a simple yard with a small pond with some fish and lily pads in it, " I can't wait to finally leave this place!" I say and kick the ground hurting my toes because these shoes don't have good protection for my feet./span/p
