Sitting at the kitchen table I find it hard to concentrate on my homework. its a sunny spring afternoon perfect for gardening and I am forbidden to leave the house except to go to school. I'm not even allowed in the yard. I've been on punishment for almost two weeks now. I was out in the garden planting new flowers and when I came in some dirt got tracked on to uncle mikes kitchen floor. He was so upset. Since then I haven't been allowed out of the house. I just got to school and come home. not that I have much of a social life anyway. I'm not very popular at school. Jenny is my only real friend. She's shy and awkward just like me. Gardening is the only real fun I have but now I don't have that. Uncle Mike is really strict on the way his household will be ran. I've been living with my uncle for a few years now. My mother had hopes and dreams of becoming an actress so she went out to follow her dream, leaving me with my uncle Mike. He was a nice man as long as I follow the rules. My room must stay clean at all times, bed made before I come down for breakfast, straight A's in school and homework must be done before he returns home at 5:00 sharp. He keeps a very clean house and my dirty shoe print on his well polished wood floor was a clear sign of insubordination. Tapping my pencil I glance at the clock 4:47 I panic. Less than 15 minutes until uncle mike gets home and I still have 8 math problems left and the peanut butter and strawberry jam jars are still sitting on the counter from my snack. Wasting no time I rushed threw my last few problems and clean up my mess. just seconds later I hear the sound of keys jingling and the door opens. Hi uncle mike, how was your day?
