Dear Diary Recently i moved to the U.S, to so supposedly start a new life, and follow the good old American dream, what a drag this will be. My father doesn't understand me, nor does he car for my needs. I tried everything just to make him happy and nothing worked. his whole life revolves around his stupid job. He is the vice president of some stupid organization and never has any time for me. Everything he does is so secretive, and he never lets me in on anything he does. I just wish he would notice me a little more and care about what i want instead of devoting his life to his job and not his own daughter. He didnt even care that i would never see my best friends again,no Katie, Josh, or Trent. God how i am going to miss them, especially Katie and her bug eyes, She is the only person i know that would trip over air. Now i am in this dump, which is supposed to be the best country in the world. And i will shoot myself if my dad leaves the house without telling me one more time. Well, i guess i have no choice but to accept a new school, new friends, and over all, just New beginnings." Sky closed the book and quickly shoved it into her draw. She was annoyed by the loud doorbell. "That ends this page in the diary, Someone is at the door, i will have to go see who that is. Gosh, i cant even get any peace and quiet, i don't even know anyone here." Sky rushed down the steps knocking over a glass vase along the way and scurried to the door." Gosh now my dad will yell at me for that too, what ever, i don't even care anymore." Sky opened the door not really caring who it was.

She rolled her eyes looked at whoever the person was supposed to be. She took in the figure's appearance before speaking. The person was a male, around her age. He had big brown eyes and unbearably pale skin. His glasses shone slightly, probably from being a little over-polished. He was pretty tall and thin. Sky tried not to laugh at his ridiculously nerdy outfit. He was holding what seemed to be a large plate of something. He smiled up a her, showing pearly white teeth as he dragged his free hand through his shortish brown hair. Great, now the neighborhood goon is after some Sky... the small voice in the back of Sky's head murmured. She shut her eyes and took a deep breath. "Can I help you?" she asked, recieving a strange look from the guy in front of her. He obviously noticed her weird accent. Being from the uk wasn't going to be easy, was it?

The guy smiled brighter before saying"Ok look, miss, my father forcing me to be neighborly so i don't really have a choice. He is the guy across the street staring at me apparently." He said, pointing to a tall chubby man who was trimming the bushes." My name is Zach by the way. Just accept this plate of what ever this crap is. My mom made it so i dont really know what it is, oh and by the way, she sucks at cooking so enjoy." Zach shoved the large plate into Sky's stomach, forcing her to grab it. Zach turned around and began to walking back across the street." Oh and by the way, these clothes i am wearing, are for the school play that i am in. I dont normally dress like this. I also know that you didnt tell me your name, i really dont care what your name is though." He said as he walked across the street not looking back at Sky." Zach approached his father and glared at him before saying."She European, i got that much from her just by the way she talked, she said hi and told me how much she loved it here." His dad smiled and Zach walked happily back into his house.

Her mouth fell open. She then frowned and shuffled back into the house, trying to take in as little essence of watever was on the plate. She almost gagged and threw it away. Well, Sky, looks like you've landed yourself in a bad position, no? She grimaced and thought about it. Zach had talked to his father loud enough for her to hear him lie. That wasn't a good sign. He'd smiled at her like he was interested, until she spoke. It's the way I talk, isn't it? she thought, close to tears. Being sensitive was worse by miles. And being treated differently is the king of low-self-esteem. She shuffled slowly to her room and slumped onto the bed, pulling out the old bettered notebook again. Dear diary. I have a feeling I won't be welcome here...

"Already, it feels like i am unwanted. Is it because of the way i accent? I cant help it, i was raised with one. I have no friends, a father who isnt around, and i am already hated, it isnt fair. Why does this happen to......" Sky could no longer write anymore in her diary for her vision was clouded with tears. She closed the book as a tear fell onto one of the pages, smearing the ink. Sky dreaded the thought of the new school she would have to go to tomorrow. All she could think about was how she would be treated. Sky felt like Zach was an example of what was waiting for her as school. She buried her head into her pillow and cried herself to sleep.Later that evening She awoke around an 6:00pm to a knocking on her front door."Sky!! SKY!!! OPEN THE GOD d**n DOOR!!! YOU KNOW I DONT HAVE A KEY YET!!! SKY!!!!"

Sky's face lifted out of the feathers. Her eyes were still red-rimmed but she seemed to have calmed down a little. She slowly got up, stumbling slightly. All her muscles were numb and stiff. She tried to get downstairs as quickly as possible and groaned, realising she'd be in trouble for that vase she knocked over earlier. As she unlocked the door, her father bustled in, pushing her out of the way. Sky tried to hold back more tears - She still wasn't fully stable yet. Robert stood there, staring at the glassy mess on the carpet. He slowly turned to look at a cringing Sky and gritted his teeth. "Clean it up. Now." He said through his teeth as his face turned a faint shade of plum. Before Sky could protest, he stormed off into the living room, suitcase in hand. He looked really stressed.

Robert stormed to his desk into the living room and took a seat, nearly falling off the chair."Sweet mother of god, can this day get any worse. This country sucks, especially when my own company is run by the government. So much for capitalism." Robert sighed before opening his suit case and taking out a bunch of files on various people. Robert organized them into a neat pile and started to rewrite the files onto his computer. His face turned into a saddened look as he continued to type." All these people, they look so normal. Like you average everyday people. They have kids, families, stable jobs and a care free life.Look at this one, he is a kid, looks like you average boy. Even has a nice name Zach, to think even he isn't human. Still, he is one of them and..." At that moment, Sky walked into the living room glanced at the computer to see Zachs photo. Before she could say anything, Robert quickly closed the screen, turned of the computer and glared at sky." DID YOU CLEAN UP THAT MESS??? That vase was priceless and you broke it. Oh and next time i catch you spying on me, you will be in a world of trouble young lady."

Sky clenched her teeth. "Actually, I was about to ask if you wanted a coffee and YES I DID CLEAR IT UP." Her breathing was uneven and loud. She was confused and annoyed. "But since you don't want me here, you can go and SHOVE YOUR PRECIOUS JOB UP YOUR ARSE!" And with that she threw whatever she could find at hand at him, in this case it was a portable vacuum. She was too pissed off to care that she missed. She ran up the stairs to her room and slammed the door shut. Temper tantrums. Tsk tsk tsk...

Robert wouldnt stand for this, not anymore. He was already abused by his boss, and he would not stand it from his own daughter. He stormed up to her room and opened the door. Robert found sky sitting at her desk, so he quickly stormed over to her and grabbed her arm tightly. Out of anger, Robert lifted her up and shoved her against the wall."Listen and listen well, you will not disrespect me in my house, If i pay for the food on the table and the clothes on your back you WILL LISTEN!!!"he said as he shouted just inches from her face." You are MY DAUGHTER AND I AM YOUR FATHER!!! YOUR MOTHER ISNT HERE SO YOU WILL DEAL WITH ME!!!! If you dont like me then LEAVE!!!" Robert let sky go and glared at her with rage and anger in his eyes."Oh and your PAYING FOR THIS SHIRT YOUNG LADY."

"YOU KNOW WHAT?! I DON'T GIVE A FLYING f**k! IF YOU WANT TO CALL YOURSELF A FATHER, BE. MY. GUEST!" She was out of breath, but she carried on."AND YOU WON'T EVER TALK ABOUT MUM AGAIN! YOU KNOW THAT SHE'S DEAD AND YET YOUR USING IT AGAINST ME!!!" She wrenched herself out of his grip and kicked him in the shin. Her face was bright red and she stormed out of the room, grabbing her jacket as she went out. She made sure she took along some money - she wasn't stupid, and left before Robert had a chance to say much more.

Robert sighed but let her go. He walked to the window and watched as his daughter walked down the street. robert looked towards the stars and said."Please hun, i need some help, your daughter is just like you and less like me. I can barely control her with work and all." He closed the window and walked back downstairs and into the living room to continue with his work. "Now i need to find out all the info i can about this Zach kid." At the same time Zach was sitting on his roof and watched the whole conflict from a distance."Stupid girl, your dad is all you have and if you loose him, you will be in a world of trouble." He said to himself and watched as Sky walked down the street. Zach glanced at sky once more before heading back into his own house.

Sky strutted down the dark street and pulled the hood of her hoodie up. She felt eyes on her, but her ego was too high to care. Her long platinum hair got into her face as she remembered her father's hurtful words. "Why did that jerk have to mention mum?" she asked herself. She finally came to her destination : The park. It was dangerous, yes. But it was the only place she could rest until the morning, when she would get back inside and get ready for school. That was her plan, at least. Only her emotions held her back now...

Sky laid on the bench thinking about everything that has happened in one day. She thought of Zach and his attitude towards her made her smile for some reason. Soon after she had shifted her body so she was facing the stars and passed out on the bench not caring what happened to her. A few hours went by and Sky awoke to loud foot steps. She shot up and looked around but no one wad there. "odd, i know i heard something and i have perfect hearing, Maybe its just my head playing with me. wow, it is extremely foggy out though, i can barely see the cars across the street." Sky stood up and turned around only to bump into someones chest." She jumped and shrieked out of fear only to realize that it was Zach." Wow your troublesome aren't you." He made a twisted face and lightly shoved Sky."What ever, i just saw you sleeping on the bench like some homeless person and decided to poke you with a stick, but you woke up already. I always go out for jogs around this time so don't ask what am i doing here, i hate that question. Your an idiot you know, school starts for me soon and it does for you too! How do i know this, because....."Zach moved closer to her face and said in an eerie tone," I am stalking you" With those words, he laughed and jogged away, and at the same time, Sky realized the time and dashed home in order to get ready for the first day of her new school.

She sprinted up to her doors and wrenched them open; She left it unlocked yesterday and Robert probably didn't notice. After finding the right clothes to put on, she ran to the bathroom, taking a shower. She stepped out and dried off before pulling on her clothes. She looked in the mirror and decided to tame her hair, if that were possible. After dragging the brush through a few times, her mind started wandering to what the almost stranger said to her. The way his laugh echoed in her mind was scary. Like he was right there, breathing down her neck. She shivered, and realised she was finally ready for school. She'd always loved her hair - it was the same shade as her mother's, and with her father's curls. She randomly shook it around and giggled before grabbing her school bag and confidently faced the nightmare ahead. She was feeling nervous -sick, even- and wanted to run away. She didn't though, only because of what her mother used to say to her: "You shouldn't be afraid of what you know nothing about." It was true, but she knew she wouldn't be very welcome all the same. She wandered around silently until she reached the school gates, where everyone was obviously seperated by cliques. Plastic barbies over there, jocks down there, geeks to the left, and emo/goths to the right. She sighed because she was already lost. Suddenly a small voice spoke behind her. She spun around and bumped into a girl that looked around 15. Big blue eyes blinked up at her and the cheeks under them flushed red. "Sorry, thought you were someone else..." the girl said before scurrying away. Sky frowned and immedietly suspected that the girl's antisocial-ness had something to do with Zach ...

“I don’t know how I knew this, but I just had a gut feeling since Zach seemed like the type of guy that would put people down for his own sick amusement. What a jerk he can be.” Sky shook her head and stared at her schedule, trying to find her first period class. “Oh boy, history, and better yet it is global history. To think that these teachers get paid for teaching us useless things.” Sky scurried about the school looking for her class only to end up 15 minutes late when she got there. Her teacher Mr. Griffion, was glaring at her when she walked in and took a seat. “Way to start off the school year, teacher already hates me.” She thought to herself before sitting down in a row all alone. All sky could think about was the way that the teachers belly bounced up and down with every step he took, and how fat his cheeks were. She could barely concentrate on what he was saying; his sluggish movements and overstuffed face astonished her.A few seconds later the bell rang and sky jumped up out of her seat, frightened. “gosh, these Americans have loud bells for no apparent reason, no wonder their all deaf by 17.” She accidentally said out loud only to be attacked by a voice from across the room. “And lookie here, a British girl form god knows where. Your accent amazes me and you will get noticed with one like that. Can you say bloody hell? Or how about bollocks?? This is going to be a fun year, especially with a dysfunctional girl like you.” The kid, no older than 16 laughed and walked out the room, leaving sky with a saddened look on her face.
