1 Runaway

This morning was different, I woke up and went downstairs to get breakfast and no one was in the kitchen. *I wonder where dad is?* As I make my way over to the fridge and try to open it my dad comes around the corner and holds it shut. "Mazikeen what are you doing?" *He looks at me with a serious stare* I looked at him confused and then walked away. *He glared at me from across the room* I wondered what was wrong but I never asked him. I grabbed an apple and went to the car. Mom drove me to school and then said goodbye. She seemed to be upset, I wanted to ask her if she was ok but I was afraid she would get even more upset so I just got out of the car and walked into school. Once I got to school I went to my classroom and sat in the back of the room, I never sat anywhere near the front. I was too afraid of the front. You know everyone seeing every move you make every word you say. Oh God, that just freaks me out by saying it.

After class was over it was finally lunchtime. I walked to the lunchroom and sat down in the dark corner of the lunchroom where no one sits. I don't have friends, no one ever talks to me. So that's why I sit way back here. The teachers never liked me ever. The only person who actually likes me was the janitor, he would talk to me when I walked along the halls after school and before. He was a nice man, but sadly he passed away a few months ago, and well now I have no one to talk to here. He was really my only friend. After school, I waited for someone to pick me up, but no one came to pick me up. I thought that maybe my dad was working still and that my mom is still on her way. Well, I hope she is on her way. I was in after-care for almost an hour; the school gets a call from my dad.

I can hear the call that my Teacher is having with my father. I hear my father's voice over the phone, "Hello this is Clark Kent, I am going to be a bit late on picking up my daughter Mazikeen." I heard the entire conversation, I am just happy to know that they remembered to pick me up. A few hours passed and he never showed up, Instead, he sent Bruce Wayne. He always sends Bruce if it's gonna be a long night. I have finally gotten home and went up to the room. I closed my door and locked it. I was on my computer watching the live video of my dad fighting. I went to sleep hoping I could pass time till my dad got home. It was about Three am in the morning, my dad finally got home. He opened my door to check on me.

*The next day*

I woke up and went downstairs to go eat, the food was ready on the table and my dad was sitting there waiting for me. I sat down across the table and ate; it was a very silent morning. I finished eating and then got ready for school, when I went downstairs I saw my dad at the front door, he looked mad. I didn't know why either. I walked up to him. "Dad, what's wrong?" I sat there and waited for him to answer, "nothing sweetheart you go wait out in the car I'll be there in a moment, okay" *I knew the moment he said "go wait" something was wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong. I was scared something had happened; maybe even petrified that it was something to do with Mama not coming home last night. I walked to the car and got in, waiting for him to come out and drive me to school. He hasn't come out yet, why? After a while it was already 8 o clock, School has started and I'm late, he said he would be out in a little bit. I can't be late for school.

After 10 more minutes of waiting, I got out of the car and started to walk to school instead. If he's not gonna take me to school then I'll walk, why couldn't he just say he couldn't take me this morning I could have ridden the bus today. I had finally got to school I was really late, they were not happy with me. I guess that today is just not my day, no one is communicating with me and everyone is getting mad. Did I do something wrong? Is something wrong with me am I a burden to everyone? After I got to class I talked to no one all day and I sat alone during lunch again, I didn't talk to any of my teachers and they didn't talk to me either. After school, I walked outside and didn't see any car I knew. They even forgot to pick me up. I got mad and I started to run away from school, I went into the woods that were a few blocks away from the school. The woods.....
