'Ow' I thought as my hands hit the hard stone floor and my knees gave way. Why does this always happen to me? I stood up. There in the reflection of a shop window was me-stupid, old me! My annoyingly long white hair was hanging down to low, I really wished I could dye it or at least get it cut shorter-but of course, we never have enough money. Ok, that sounds selfish; it's not Amane's fault our dad spends all his money on alcohol. I looked down at my hand-me-down school jumper, that's far to big for me, and my jeans-far too short. Oh yeah, and then there's my shoes, my scuffed trainers. After brushing my knees I trudged along -knowing that if I kept falling over, I'd get a late mark for registration…..again.

The school day never changes, the same repeated pattern, the mean names, the rude comments-the tiresome school work that always seems that little bit harder every day . But today, today was little different. I got my first invitation to a party in ages. Surprisingly it wasn't a nasty joke, it was real-and it felt good; the first thing to make me smile in a very long time.

I got it just as I was getting my stuff on the way out of school, from Yugi, who I barely even know anymore. One of the very little things I know about him is that he's best friends with one of the worst people I have ever met. Joey Wheeler (me and Joey used to get on really well until…..never mind.) And another thing I know is that he must be kind to actually invite me to a real party and that he never joins in with the teasing. Me and Yugi used to hang out together for a bit and smile to each other, until three years ago….

But-as expected, as soon as Joey and his gang found out I had also received an invitation, they were worse than ever. As I ran out of school their voices were still going in my mind I hated it, what they called me, what they said and what was worse was the fact I couldn't fight back, I couldn't say anything back to them, no matter how much I wanted to. My eyes blurred up with tears of anger-Why me?

I wrote this a while ago and found it in my note book a few days ago, so I decided to post it on here. To be honest I feel this way about school to. I'm really sorry to Joey fans, I love Joey he's awesome but I wanted to Yugi as the nice boy so Joey had to be the mean one and he did used to be in a gang so it kinda fits. Review if you want. SetoXSara reviewing is not optional you have to or I'll kill you x.
