(Hey, kattie from the future here. This book is super old and cringey so dont expect a masterpiece. )

"Ben! Get ready we have to go to school." i say and Ben comes down holding a piece of toast and his backpack.

"Oh, you're good, okay lets go!" i say and open the door.

"You're in a good mood. Did dad go to work early this morning?" he says jokingly.

"haha i wish, Come on we are going to be late!" i say and we go outside.

We start our walk to the school and we talk on the way.

"Hannah?" he says looking up at me.

"Yea?" i ask back.

"Why is the world so mean to us?" he asks and i think.

"I don't think it's the world, i think it's the ugly mean people who have had a bad day so they be mean to others... Don't worry it will get better." i say but honestly don't really believe it myself.

"Sometimes i pretend i have friends." He says and i laugh.

"Like a great sister like me!" i say joking around.

"Yeah, haha." He replys and we reach the school.

"Dont hurt yourself and if there is any trouble tell me or yell out my name, i have to go, bye!" i say and me and my brother part ways.

We are rarely happy so we both enjoy it as much as we can, i envy the people who have perfect lives with a mom. We don't have one, after ben was born she died a few hours later. Our father always blamed him, But what was he supposed to do?
