"Oh, Hi." I said, awkwardly looking at Mark,and also working on the essay about humans and how they originated, and how cats were domesticated. 

"Hi.. Shadow. What happened to you? you've changed."  Mark said, putting his paw onto my paw as I was about to do that last sentence.

I was kind of disgusted, but I didn't really mind, until 5 minutes later. "What do you want from me, dog brain?" I said, hissing like a crazy cat, which was the opposite I wanted to be.

"Woah wimp, who gave you a brain? Nobody, because you're still garbage on the inside." Mark said, laughing and barking violently. Mark soon left the room to be with his friend, Marcus, so it left me, and I started texting all the people in my family who had phones (except dad and mom). 

Shadow<5:00.p.m> What's going on at home? I didn't come 2day since I was busy w/ sch, sorry.

Jenny<5:01.p.m> oh it was ok, lots of hitting 2 alex tho. Awful dad.

George<5:03.p.m> I hope u r doing well, shads. 😀 Better than ever, right? I had fun in college.

Shadow <5:03.p.m> I am, just stress on projects and my roommate. my roommate's my bully from highsch and middle sch. The rest is fine, teachers are nice.

George<5:06.p.m> I gtg, see u 2morrow, u2 love u 

Jenny<5:06.p.m> u 2 

Shadow<5:07.p.m> same. see u tmr.

A minute later, Mark is with Marcus, a siamese, looking very drowsy looking while walking. "Oh yeah Marcus, this is my jerk roommate, Shadow. Shadow, why don't you say hi?" Mark said, making me the closest in my life to ever want to hit someone hard. 

A day or two later, I visited my grandparents, Mrs. Catty and Mr. Catto. They were super sweet and heartwarming.

"So, why are there so many bruises on you, my beauty?" Mrs. Catty said, looking and rubbing her paw on my head. I didn't want to tell what happened to my grandparents, but I did. I told her the story, and her face turned into a half-sad-half-happy smile into a sad face. 

"That boy is a scallywag!" Mr. Catto said, angrily moving his walker.

"Grandpa, please!" I said, laughing.

A day later, I came back home, and I saw my dad looking at me with a sour expression on his face.

"Why didn't you come 3 days ago for dinner?" He said, whipping a bat. 

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO MY CHILDREN? THEY ARE MINE NOW! STOP THIS! STOP DOING HARM TO MY CHILDREN!" My mom yelled. Alex, Lenny and Jenny and I were all in shock. I felt the feeling of euphoria, like YES! YES! SHE IS GONNA DIVORCE, YESS! Anyway, I went up in my room, and texted George, since he was on the train for a work trip. 

Shadow<7:38 p.m> oh my god  the biggest thing happened!

George <7:39 p.m> what? Did you get an A for the report?

Shadow <7:40 p.m> Yes, but mom finally stood up against dad, so that is why i am txting u :D 

George <7:43 p.m> oh nice! no more abuse abolishing our lives!
