I logged off and went down stairs and made my self some Top Ramin, Dad wasn't home again so I left him a note asking him if I could have some friends over after school the next day, I knew what he would say that's why I had said yes to them. I walked back up to my room and sat down on my bed to read.

I sat up and stretched, my book, 'The Two Towers', fell off my chest. I looked over at the alarm clock, 3:00 a.m. I must have fallen asleep reading, but the light was off. 'Oh Dad must have come home and seen my light on and come in to turn it off.' I looked around. My blacks out curtains were open and I could see the stars glowing faintly in the sky outside. Then I looked up at my ceiling where I had tried to make the same affect with little glow in the dark stickers. All around the walls of my room little Icicle X-mass lights hung. I noted that my surround sound Stereo was playing The Nutcracker Sweet softly. I stood up and walked to my desk. There was a note from my dad saying that I could have my friends over and that he wouldn't be home tells late. I read it and sat down. I checked my e-mail. Nothing new. I pulled up a paper that was due today. It was done. I shut down the computer. I stood and then pulled off the clothing I had been weaning all day and put on my PJ's. 'Maybe I can get a couple more hours of sleep.' I thought to my self as I lay back down on my bed and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up that morning and jumped in to the shower. When I got out I Grabbed my baggie blue bondage pants and pulled them on. Then I started to dig through my dresser; finally I found my red Rainbow Bright t-shirt and pulled it on. I took my red-brown hair and put it in to a braid that went down to my butt. I then found my favorite pair of tennies and turned to give my self the once over in the mirror. Those same blue-gray eyes stared back at me. 'I understand why dad doesn't like to look me in the eye I have my mothers eyes. My Dad hasn't looked me in the eye since she had died last June.' I shook my head and grabbed my backpack and I was out the door and headed to Kira's house, she lives just on the other end of the block. I knocked on the door to her house. Her mom answered, "Oh Jasmine, She's eating, please come in and eat with us." She pushed me in and shut the door behind me; she had been trying to help be a substitute mom for me.

"Ok I'll eat with you," I said with a smile. She sat me down with a bowl of Oatmeal. I smiled at her and started to eat. Kira looked up and noticed me. "Hey your house after school right?" She asked with this look of this is way to early to be up on her face. "Yeah dad said yes." I looked at her outfit. She had her dishwater blond hair up in a bun, held up by a pair of hand carved Dragon chopsticks that had a beautiful inlay on them. She had on the 'don't Stereo type me' tank top I had gotten her for her birthday; it went well with the plaid bellbottoms. " Nice outfit." I said as we walked out the door.
