"You're home!" Mom hugged me, once I got inside the house. 

"How was school?" She asked. 

I smiled," it was great, Mom. I had met some few friends, too" If one counted as few... 

"Mom," I called her attention, as she hummed in response.

I went upstairs, and laid on my bed, watching the stars, that always shines on the sky. I felt hot tears ran down through my cheeks, as I took out my necklace and held them high, the pendant shining against the moonlight, and it was still incredibly beautiful. I thought to myself, that why am I still here on earth, when my life is such a mess already from the start. I'll just sleep this out and forget all the incident that happened earlier.

My vision started to clear up, and I saw some of my books were on the floor already, even my lamp and pencil cases.

I picked up my things. "Don't wo
