Dawn's POV:
I walked inside my house, quickly said hi to Mom and Dad, and before they answer, I quickly ran upstairs and I think they saw me crying, but I wipe them away, even though it made some make-up tears stains. I ran to my room, put my backpack down and walk to my bed and sat as I cried more as tears fall out fast so I stop wiping them away. I stop crying, I grab my make-up mirror and look at my face reflection and sing,

Dawn:
Look at me, I will never pass for a perfect best friend, or perfect at anything. Can it be, I'm not meant to be like this? Now I see, that if I were truly be myself, I would break my family's heart.

I put my mirror down and look at the tall mirror wall I used when I get dressed,

Dawn:
Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know.

I got up and walk to my drawer with a mirror, I grab a make-up remover wipe and look at the mirror,

Dawn:
Somehow, I can not hide who I am, though I've tried. When will my reflection show, who I am inside?

I wipe my make-up tears off my cheeks, I let my hair down and look at the doors and walk to them,

Dawn:
When will my reflection show, who I am inside?

I opened them and walk on the balcony and watch the sunset. The wind gentle blow my hair back and forth like a princess. I feel more tears coming out and I decided not to wipe them, I felt a tear fell off my face and hit the stand of the balcony as I cried.

I heard the door open and close, I turned and saw Mom. "Dawn, is something wrong?" She ask as she stood next to me.

"I don't want to talk about." "Honey, if something's wrong then you can tell us what's wrong." She said, "I'll tell you when I'm better, right now I don't want to talk about it." I said, Mom sighed and said as she wipe my tears away with a make-up wipe, "Alright, tell us when you're ready, OK?" "OK" I said before she left my room. I look back at the sky and saw its night time.

I walked back inside, I close the doors, I grab my backpack and grab my dirty P.E clothes in the laundry basket in the bathroom, I walked back in my room and I turn on the TV, and watch my favorite shows.

Mom walked in my room and said, "Dawn? Dinner's ready." "I'll be down in a minute." She nodded and left, I turn off my TV, put my phone charging, and walk downstairs, we ate spaghetti and meatballs, and it was quiet.

Dad put his fork down gently and ask Mom, "OK, what's with the awkward silence? Usually around this time, you ask Dawn how her day at school was. What's going on here?"

Mom turn to me while I'm twirling my food around with the fork and ask, "Dawn, is there something you want to tell us?" "Tell you what?" I ask as I look at them as I stop twirling my food.

"About what happened at school when you came home crying today?" She ask, "Oh, um, well-uh" I said, "Dawn, you know you can tell us anything." Layla said, "Well, um." I look down and sighed.

I look back at my family and said, "It's Luis." "What about him?" Crystal ask, "We got into an argument, he told me that I would stop acting like an adult and I told him that he would stop acting like a little kid."

"That kinda doesn't explain why you were crying when you got home." Dad said, "Honey, let her finish." Mom said to Dad, "Go on, Dawn." "He said, he wish he never met me so I was never his best friend."

They look at me in shock and Dad said, "Oh, sweetheart. I'm so sorry he said that to you. Why would he say that?" "Because he just want me to have fun like I used to, but I'll get in trouble if I do. And he told me to stop acting like a adult." I said.

"Well, you kids are turning into young adults once you graduate from High school. I'm sure he didn't mean to say it, let's just forget it, OK?" Mom ask, "OK." I said. After dinner, I went back into room and I lay on my bed and I couldn't help but cry again.
