"Why is she still here?!" a weird voice says from the hallway "Todd, Calm down she is just four I don't know where to take her." all the sudden there is a bang "GET HER OUT OF HERE NOW!" Someone runs in the kitchen crying and takes me off the ground. Running they put me in the car and drop me off in a parking lot "I'm sorry Sarah, I love you..."
I jolt up from the dream and start crying. I take deep breaths and check the time. it is 3:30am. I turn to Chop and see him still sleeping. I walk downstairs and go to the kitchen and get a glass of water. I sit on the counter and think to myself. I wonder where she is now. As I take a sip of the water I realize i am shaking, Just breathe Sarah Just breathe. I turn on a light and Jaden walks downstairs "What are you doing up so late?" great, just what i needed. "Just couldn't sleep." i say taking a sip of my water. He goes to a fridge and grabs an apple "Want one?" he says with a smile. I shake my head, I wasn't hungry. He grabs a knife and cuts the apple. "You should probably try to sleep now." "You should too." i say as i walk back to my room. I flop on my bed i start to think about my mom and slowly drift to sleep.
I wake up at 7:30am, I walk downstairs and grab some cereal. Weird no one is up, I eat my cereal and let Chop out. I walk upstairs to my room and log into my computer, Yay no zoom meetings just assignments i won't do. I scroll around instagram and go to tik tok, Dang 1.2 million followers already from just one video. I decided to make a new one and learn the dance 'Savage'. I see you throw it back and decided i will do it too why not. I do the dance and post the video. Within minutes I have 126,000 likes, Most of my comments where nice but there was a few "Why her 🙄🤢" and "Shes so ugly, Go back to the orphanage." comments. But those don't bother me these people are either 10 year olds or 50 year olds hating on a kid, I hear Griffin knocking on my door. "Come in." i say. He walks in and sits on the bed "How are you?" he says with a smile "Good." he pets Chop "Jaden told me you couldn't sleep last night, is everything okay?" i sigh "Ya its all good, Just the nightmares of Timmothe Chalamet and his peach." he laughs "Okay well if you need anything i am here." I nod my head and he walks out. Ya like I am going to tell him my problems, I start to remember last night, When we were making pizza that was fun. But i cant get attached to quick you never know what will happen, I may have to put my handprint back on the Orphanage wall. I sit there pretending i am doing work for about 40 minutes and then get up and walk downstairs with Chop. "Did you see this Griffin?!?!?" Bryce says running over to Griffin showing him a video. "She better not.. Oh my." Griffin walks over with the phone "So we are throwing it back now?" I laugh "Ya whats the big deal?" "The big deal is that you are throwing it back! You are 14!! Dumb boys are going to sexualize it and make it weird." i roll my eyes "Okay and why would I care?" he lets out a big huff "Just trust me for 5 seconds, And delete it." what is he talking about its just a video what is the worst that could happen "1..2..3..4..5 okay I am done trusting you, If I delete it there will be more drama kids will notice and question it. Soooo how about i just don't do it again?" He walks off "Fine but don't do it again." I walk over to the couch and scroll through tik tok, I have been mentioned in the same video 12 times so i check it out, Well i guess griffin was right. Its a boy saying throwing it back is gross and i'm a whore. i comment "Thank you very much, Stay strong king 💕😌" Griffin glances over and sees the video "See thats why I don't want you posting those videos, But he is wrong you are definitely not a whore." "Ya i know this stuff doesn't bother me." I say as I walk to the fridge and pour myself more water. I scroll through Instagram and see this photo

i start burst out laughing, all of them look at me like i am insane

i start burst out laughing, all of them look at me like i am insane. "You will see." I say still laughing. I quickly run upstairs and get on my chrome book and search up "Wall art generator." and print out the photos "ALL OF YOU STAY DOWNSTAIRS!!" I yell, I grab tape and put out the photos on griffins wall so now the picture taped onto his wall like a tapestry. "OKAY COME UPSTAIRS!" they all walk upstairs and I start recording on my phone "How do you like it?" i say with a smirk "How did you make it so big?" "Big bOObs" anthony says i laugh, "I have an app that will make photos turn into paper tapestries." everyone is laughing and i stop the video. "That was a pretty good 'prank'." i bow "Why thank you." We walk back down and Bryce turns on Rick and Morty. "The Simpsons are better." Bryce turns to me offended "They have Simp in their last name, There is no way they are better." I shake my head "Whatever you say." We sit around the rest of the day, I post the video of Griffin reacting to the tapestry on my Instagram.
