There is more to life than having the best things and making the right choices in life, but sometimes you know, you don't always make the right decisions. My name is Raven light-wood, am 16 years old and made wrong choices mist I regret but some I don't anyway, I lived with my mom and annoying stepfather Jay. Mom told me that my biological dad had left me, so she says but am not very sure about that.

We weren't the richest but we were ok I went to one of the best schools in town but then I didn't pay attention to my studies and had to fail my final year, yup that means I wasn't going to college till the next year, mom was so furious that she didn't speak to me for a week same goes to Jay he never liked me from the start so no surprise there, Jay was also angry for my punishment I would have to repeat the final "in the same school "oh no......... when I heard those words my world came crashing down "what I can't go back there "I said to mom "sweetie what do you have me do your dad has spoken "my mom said arranging the table for dinner. " Uh stepdad "I said rolling my eyes then Jay entered the room" even If am not your real dad I am still the head of this family, and you will go back there period" the said sitting down of the dinning table" I wish I was given another set of parents and I wish dad took me then I wouldn't be here with you guys....." I said the ran upstairs to my room that night I cried my eyes out.

I couldn't believe that next session I was going back to my old school and to put the cherry oh the cake Jay and mom took my phone, so i had no one to call, no one to talk to. "If I am going back that means, wait what if I get billed I heard those set are very vicious" I said to my self look at my mirror, this was the worst moment of my life I even had to brake up with my boyfriend Zack, because I didn't want to hold him back I guess, and besides mom and jay would trow a tantrum if they found out that I had one,soI called it off.

By next session all my friends would have been in college and I, still in high school" why didn't I be serious about my education then" thinking about made me start crying then my mom came in, I quickly cleaned my eyes then she ask me why I was crying and I gave her those " really" look then she smiled " look there's nothing there if you go back

there you are used to there learning formation already" she said tapping my back " it isn't the end of the world you know hon" she said crying my dirty clothes " now clean up your room it's dirty then she left. oh well after she left I spent the whole day arranging my room.

I woke up yesterday morning drawing my feet on the ground, showered and got ready for my so called first day I could still remember how excited I was for my first day last year but it different now. now that all my friends are in college, they keep taling about how college is stress but fun on the class group chain.*knock* " hon you'll be lasted fie school, now you don't want to be late on your first day " mom said knocking on my door . Well I got ready wore our nor ma uniforms well it was kind of short because mom said she didn't want to waste money on uniforms again we my school has a lot of uniforms.

I came downstairs I saw mom and jay I sat down for breakfast 🥣 I didn't look at Jay for one second" so how are you Raven? " Jay asked but I just stared at him then my mom then back to my brakefast" okey" Jay said. when we were done with breakfast Jay said " Uh Raven get in the am taking you to school today" " no thanks I rather walk " I said packing my lunch " common honey let Jay tale you besides he has to see the principal " mom said " fine whatever " I said rolling my eyes " hey young lady,you don't roll your eyes at me or Jay or your elder " mom yelled as I was leaving I got into Jay's car it was kind of cool but I didn't tell him that of course. on our way school I sore I saw Jay trying to making conversations with me but as usual me I didn't give him a chance. we arrived at the school, it was big as usual

Jay and I came down from the car and oh God ( I didn't miss this school one bit ) we processed to the principals office getting there I noticed that the hall way was empty.

" oh shoot classes had already started " I muttered, we went to the principal's office " oh goodness gracious Raven light-wood is good to see you but not good how are you doing?" principal brown welcome me " what do you think principal brown?" I answered " well we don't beat yourself about it we pick up the paces, just kindly wait outside and I'll be with you shortly" he said and I did what he said I should do, I sat down on one of the waiting chairs. not long after a familar face Ms Ken coming and holding a boy she smiled at me and entered browns office and like 2 minutes later she ce out and the boy sat next to me " Raven how are you doing I heard what happened, don't worry about it just put more effort " Ms Ken said to me smiling and I did the same " oh be careful and take care of yourself " she said the walked away( what did she mean by that)
