Peeps in the Hood

I like my friends from two towns over. At times, they seem like the only friends I really have. They are the most amazing people in the world. I find myself wondering what I'm doing here and not there. If I feel like I'm in Hell every time I come in this school, then why do I stay here? It's because of my mother. If I were to tell her that I want to move in with my dad, she wouldn't be able to deal. My older sister already moved in with my dad 3.5 years ago and that didn't turn out so well. But really, why do I want to stay in pain for her satisfaction? Things won't turn out the way they did with my sister. Why can't I just do something for myself for a change? Almost everything I do is to please her, but I just don't know why. She's the most selfish person I know. She's cruel and nasty, but I love her because she's my mother and I'm her daughter. I believe I'll talk to my dad about it.
