In the View of Grechen

I don't even talk to squeaky or about her and whenever we pass she always has this look like all I do is put her down. I just want to fit in its really not easy being the new girl in town. This race sound like its a big deal to her and I just wanna be friends so this could be my chance to connect with her and others. After constantly moving year after year my mom thinks this might be the one. I walk the streets after school because I'm too scared to go home without my mom there. My dads a mean drunk and beats us. All I do is keep it in when I'm out with friends. The only reason why I can run is because of my dad. I tell my mom to leave him but shes to scared to.
