Chp. 1

Today I got up to go to school I was late so I had to get driven there. My mom dropped my two brothers off to school but told me to stay in the call that she needed to tell me the plans for me tomorrow. After the car came to a stop, I dashed out of the car I heard my mom yell for me to come back.
You forgot your lunch box she said witch had the same menu for the last 3 years and before I shout the door again mother told me to tell them, to tell them that I ran in to the door. And then in a voice she never uses with me say says, Have a nice day.
I got into the school and since I’m so late I have to go to the office. Moments later the school nurse come out and leads me into her office, I go though this every day I come to school first she counts the slash like marks on my face looking for any she might have missed last time she looked. Then she opens my mouth to look at my chipped teeth from mother slamming me against the kitchen counter top. After she looked me over she asked me some thing and I told her things I shouldn’t have said mother would beat me if she found out if I have told them about what she does to me.
when my principal found out what had happen to me at home I was really scared that he was going to call my mother, I asked him to not call her please don’t call her I said to him , he told me that he wouldn’t. After that I went to class. after awhile in class I was called down into the office ,I walked into the office and seen all my home room teacher and a police officer I got really scared I didn’t know what to do .
I told them I didn’t steal anything. The officer started asking me about mother, I really didn’t want to say anything too many people already know. After every thing happens today the deal was that the officer was going to take me to the police stechin I got there and they wanted me to call mother. I bagged them not to call mother. The officer said every thing is going to be ok he asked for my number. I gave it to him he called mother. I could hear her voice over the phone it made me scared. The officer told her that I was in jail that I would not be coming home today.
After that he said to me see that wasn’t so bad was it? after the phone call the officer took me for a ride a few miles later , we are on bigbway heading towards the out side of daily city i look out my window and see the most beautiful highway in the world I ask him I don’t understand aren’t you taking me to some kind of jail? he smiled at me and said No David , you have nothing to worry about your mother is never going to hurt you again a tear started to run down my face, he told me that I was free .I’m not sure what that means but it sure sounds good .
