Myself.

My name is Rose, I’m 17 years old and of course a girl. I have hazel brown eyes, brown hair with the scene type cut. My mom and me live in Ohio while my dad lives in sunny California. Not to typical of a family, nope not even close to being a perfect family. I go to California each summer after school ends to visit my dad (though I don’t count it as visiting because he is gone 24/7.) My mother kind of for me to go. It’s only two days after the last day of school and I’m already packing to go to the **** hole.
“Honey! Dinner is done!” My mother shouts up the stairs.
“Hold on! I’m coming in a second!” I basically yell down the stairs.
I turned down my Falling In Reverse (it’s a really good band look them up!) and I ran down the stairs. It smelled really good. Of course we are having my favorite fruit salad for dinner. It’s a really good thing we don’t eat a whole lot or else we would be starving after this meal. I almost laughed but held it in. We talked a little during dinner, but not much.
“Hey mom I’m done packing so I’m going for a little! Be back before 8:00”
I checked the clock after I put all my stuff in my car, it was around 7. I went to the local park and took my shoes off and went barefoot to the swings.
