It just had to be him. Fate just hates me and is never on my side. Ugh I hate my life most of the time. "So, why are you here to see the evil step mother and step sisters". I asked as I raised my eyebrows. "Well hello to you to", he said sarcastically. I heard Ursma yelling from upstairs and led him into the dining room. I saw Jasmine sitting in one of the seats at the dinner table. See Jasmine is the queen bee, and totally hates me from the bottom of her tiny crippled heart.  I know that's mean but its completely true. "Oh, hello River" she purred. I almost gagged so I went into the kitchen to get the food. I was still wondering how she got to the house without me knowing.

I entered the dining room and set all the plates down.  I finished folding all the napkins and called the evil family down. "What do you want you little rag picker", Ursma yelled at me.  I would have cried if that was the first time she had ever called me that. She called me that ever since she knew me.  " River's here", I shouted back and headed back to the dining room. " What would you like to drink?", I asked them politely. " Do you have any thing with no carbs, no fat, and no sugar", she questioned in a deathly high pitched voice that made me wince. " Uh, water", I replied. She glared at me but went back to trying to dreamily staring at an uncomfortable River." Uh water would be fine I guess, oh and thank you". I raised my eye brows at him but turned on my heel to get the drinks. Ursma came into the kitchen with a grimace on her face. "Is that the best thing you have to wear", she questioned me disgusted." Yes", was my simple answer.  I turned to walk back to the kitchen with the drinks and Tiffany stuck her foot out. I stepped over it gracefully, "You should probably put your leg back under the table before River and Jasmine see how hairy it is", I said in a sweet voice. She gasped and a smirk was tugging at my lips as I placed the drinks at the table.

As I was washing the dishes I heard foot steps but didn't look to see who it was. I felt a presence beside me, when I finally looked up to be shocked by seeing River leaning against the counter. I finished and was drying my hands when he finally spoke." So, do you get called ragpicker often", he said with a hint of concern in his voice. "Well, ever since my sixth birthday I've become their personal slave. Plus I've been called and treated worse by them, but oh well, you cant do any thing about the way other people act." And I walked out of the kitchen when he grabbed my elbow, "You look nice by the way", before I walked to my room.

As I plopped down on my bed after I locked the door Ursma started screaming, " Get down here you little piece of s---". I sighed and started walking down the stairs from the attic. Yep you guessed it I live it the attic, how so classic is that. Well anyways I was walking down the stairs when I heard glass breaking. I jumped the rest of the stairs to run into the living room see a glass bottle flying at my head. I quickly ducked and ran for the door. I grabbed my skate board and went as fast as I could to Diesels house. I always went there if that happened, which was surprising like once a month. I pulled up to their driveway and raced to the door knocking a couple of times. Mrs. Marie answered me to see my sweaty panting state. Concern flashed in her eyes as she quickly let me into the kitchen. We entered and diesel looked up and his face was concerned. " Are you ok, are you injured, is there glass in you, oh no did she whip you again." He said with nervousness and concern. "I'm fine but i'll probably need to stay here tonight. If that's ok with you Ms.Marie ?" I questioned her. She agreed and I went up to take a shower. I got undressed and looked at my back through the mirror. So many gashes and scars of my past, and present. The memories started to come back but I shoved them into the depths of my brain. I took a quick shower and changed into the extra clothes that I keep here in case something, like what happened today, surprisingly it happens monthly.

..........................................

"Ok I'm goin to head up to bed, night Ms.Marie" I said and headed up the stairs to the extra bedroom where I usually stay when it happens. I just wish it didn't happen. Even though it always does. I sigh and walk to the extra bedroom to be suprised by my phone blowing up. It must be from the video I took of the students. You see Sky, South, and I made a website for the dance class at the recreation center. I looked to see what it was of the dance battle river and I had. It seems that the website had gotten popular at the apparently awesome dances and videos. Well that's what the comments say. Apparently South had taped it cuz it said it was filmed on source three. It got a lot of views and tons of comments and likes. A lot of people talked about it at school and know one knew it was me dancing cuz I wear my hood and a black mask that covers the bottom half of my face so no one would know it was me. But I only do solo dances sometimes cuz I don't want to risk being found out. Even though most of the comments on the videos are people begging me to do another one. Oh well, nothing you can do about, and I really don't want a flying glass bottle aimed at me more than usual.

I turn my phone to silent and got under the covers, when it vibrated. A text from someone popped up but I didn't look at it cuz I was too tired to look. That I had a dream of flying glass bottles and the other unpleasent stuff that has happened to me.
