Ignored
My name is August, and I've been ignored all my life. My family doesn't pay a speck of attention to me, everytime I try to make contact with them, they either move away from me or just sit there and pretend like I don't exist. Even on my birthdays, they don't listen to me.

A few years ago on my 11th birthday, they only gave me a cupcake and a book for school, they didn't even invite any of my relatives. That's how I knew they didn't care about me at all. Now here I am, with my 13th birthday coming up, but I'm sure my family didn't care.

The first thing I did after I ate lunch was told my family I was going out, they just sat there and said carelessly "Go ahead, just be home by 4:00.", so I went out. I figured that I could just skip my curfew since I knew that my family didn't care about me, it was 6:55 at night and I didn't even care to go home. I just cared about finding a place to sleep.

I ended up at an empty mansion, the lights were all turned off and it looked all dusty, I opened the door with my hair clip and went inside to see a spotless lounge with three couches, a lamp by each one, luxury paintings on the walls, and on the top was a giant, shiny chandelier covered in diamonds. I didn't want to intrude, but I also wanted to take a little more time to look around.

Minding my own...
