I woke up from my bed and let out a loud yawn. I stretched my arms and checked my window. A few people were outside our lawn but I had no interest. I took a shower and brushed my hair. River, my cat tabby cat, purred loudly while stretching her body. My eyes lit up brightly

I was packing my bags in excitement and hope for a better life in Chicago. Mom got a better job offer and we couldn't offer to lose it. Sure Minnesota was a great state but I always dreamt about visiting other states like Chicago, the ever windy state.

I would be leaving my old friends and most importantly muddle school. I didn't really like my old school, I had no friends. I always kept to myself even though I seemed the the cherry perfect student. I always wondered how Grade 9 would be like. Most of my middle school teachers always told us about how scary and hard highschool was but I wasn't believing until I experience it.

Oh, how rude of me. My name is Emily Sparks, I'm 16 years old and 5'6 tall. I was a late bloomer in school so I had to start at a late age. People in my class were always younger than me and I felt like an outsider who failed a class.

I am the only child, well I didn't want to be the only child, just that my dad divorced my mom after he found out she had been wasting his money on bets. Mom was always such a Karen, literally her name. Unfortunately, Dad didn't want me since I looked exactly like mom and acted like her. It was heart breaking and I always blamed my mom for our misfortune.
I didn't have a good childhood like other kids. Mom was poor even though she was a banker and she always made me to have side jobs. Be it a shop cashier, waitress, photographer and so many side hustles. It was so devastating and then Mom applied me for a student's loan and I know I'm going to be in debts till I finish college. This made me have less focus in school and I was failing most of my classes, landing me in summer lessons.

When Mom mentioned she got a job offer in Chicago, I was so excited. Life would be more simply and easy but I knew I had to expect disappointment. We were leaving in a week and our neighbors were wishing us well, even though they were never interested in us.
There was this lady with blonde hair and she came up to me. "Do you know I use to change your diapers when you were a baby?" She asked.
I've never met this woman in my life and suddenly she comes in and whip up the 'Use to change diapers when you were a baby'. I rolled my eyes and ignored her. It was a small party and I liked it just the way it is.

All of sudden a boy wearing a huge hoodie bursted in blasting his hip hop music. I closes my ears in irritation. Always bad luck, no good luck would ever come my way. He came up to me and kissed me on her hand, I snatched it and he was surprised.
"You know baby, Chicago would look beautiful on you, promise to bring me with you later?" He asked.
I frowned my face in utter irritation. "First, I have never met you in my life and all of a sudden we're some lost couple and second, in your dreams I would ever take you anywhere!" I exclaimed loudly. People around us gasped.
"That girl is a bully!" A lady yelled. Everyone grumbled and left the house. Everywhere was a mess.

"Why did you have to yell?" Asked Ms Karen. "I yell when I'm getting violated." I hissed in anger. "You get rights and violated till you are 18." She replied. I gasped a bit. "Why do you always have to be such a Karen all the time?!" I asked.
"My name is Karen! I am your mother." She proclaimed. "I'm 16, not a kid anymore, gosh!" I said angrily and left to my room slamming it hard.
"Why does everything have to be so complicated?" I asked and laid on my bed.
My cat, River started licking my forehead.
"Gross." I whispered and burst into laughter.
"You're my only friend River." I said and hugged her tightly
That's an example of my average day in life. I sighed and checked my Laptop for any exciting posts on social media, my phone was still under repair.
I checked for best public high schools there but soon lost interest.
I was suppose to be excited, not the opposite.
