13th

17 year old Lily steps out of the black lemo. Her long brown hair blows gently in the breeze. She lets out a sigh, and takes out her notebook. With a beat up pencil she puts a tally mark, right next to the others. She silently counts them all. 13. This is her 13th home. “ Mom, Dad... I miss you,” She says tears welling in her eyes, “I wish you could see how these people are treating me, you wouldn’t stand for it.”

“ This way please Miss.” The butler ushers her into the gianormous house. With her head low she silently walks into the mansion. Her footsteps echo in the large house. Lily follows the butler up the stairs and to her knew room. “ I do hope you can settle in quickly, if you need anything just tell me it is my job!” He laughs, “ Thank you.” She says quietly. “ ... I don’t know if I should say this but, be careful. Okay? Especially around Haley, she is quite, how do I say it um distrustful? And, well she won’t treat you well, okay?” The butler informs, Lily nods , “Ok.”

Lily sighs and flops down on her bed. *Well I think I might have to take care of Haley,* she smirks at the thought, *if she thinks she can bully me then she must be stupid! I’ll just have to show her who she’s dealing with!* Lily tilts her head in thought, as she looks up at the ceiling. Lily has been through too much to be nice, and tolerate crap from mean people. She looks over at her dresser that has all of her unpacked stuff. The design was extravagant. She rolls her eyes *Rich people* Lily pulls out a picture of her, her mom, and her dad. A small sad smile settles on her face. “ What would y’all think of me now? I know y’all would me disappointed in me, I mean this is my 13th home. I’ve made trouble in all the others.”

“Wow! Hahaha! You Are a weirdo, I mean talking to picture? Haha!” A snobby voice says,Lily quickly sits up to see a girl around her age leaning in her doorway her hair is red and she has a disgusting smile on her face. Lily looks her up and down with a fierce glare. Haley had red hair, green eyes, and a good shape she was beautiful and Lily had to admit that but Lily quickly spotted her weak spot. It may have only been one weak spot but it definitely was a big one. Her ears. They were big and Mack her resemble a monkey! Lily opens her mouth to say something when she hears footsteps approaching her doorway, she quickly closes her mouth. A woman with red hair around her late thirties steps in with a sweet smile on her face, “ Lily! You’re here! Ohhhh I couldn’t wait to finally meet you I just couldn’t!” She runs over and hugs Lily tightly. “ This is Haley,” The woman says finally letting go, “ and I’m Mage Parsley but you can call me Mrs.Parsley or Mom!
