What they said to me

How it ended

1st November
I have a new name now. A new dress. A new life. This is my chance to start again, to begin a new life, with my sister, and my new foster parents, Glenn and Louisa. My new name is Skye Skater, and although I love my old name, Mimi.
I made my dress for the disco. It's got a white bodice, which is embroidered with silver thread and beads in the shape of pearls. The skirt is also white, in a sort of skater style. From the each shoulder, creamy white silk comes down, and crosses in the middle. This silk continues down and meets up at the back, and ties in a bow. The creamy white colour shows off my tan, which I didn't know existed until I slipped this dress on.
On the night of the disco, I was allowed to put on a tiny bit of white eye shadow, and a little bit of pink lipstick. I wanted to put on more, but after all, I am only 9. Well, 10 soon! My black hair tumbled down my back, a few inches from my waste. I painted my nails white, which matched my white shoes, which had a teeny tiny heel.
I walked into the disco, feeling great. And guess who the first person I saw was. Cate Jacobson, in a disgusting bright pink dress, that was made of a sort of plastic, that was shiny. It was strapless, with a tiny strip of material was used as the top half, and the most mini miniskirt you've ever seen. These were connected by a tiny bit of material that could have snapped at any time. She had bright pink lipstick to match her dress, and 10 inch heels covered in studs. Her hair had gone all manky and discolored, because she tried to dye it one colour, and then another colour on top. I avoided her, quick.
There was a little cheer when people noticed I was here. They heard about me being in hospital, and some thought for me, it was the end. There were so many faces that I recognised, including my best friend Jas, hanging out with my other friend, Lucy. There was one face I did not recognise. The face of a new boy, a kind, freckly face, a good looking face. His brown eyes met blue eyes. Then...he smiled at me!
Life is not complete without a little smile.
