Chapter 1- Poppy
Poppy
“Sara!” I yelled down the stairs at my ten year old sister. “Come here, I need to show you something!”
My brown hair has fallen into my eyes again, and I shake my head to get it out of the way. My horned glasses are sliding off my sweaty nose, and my clothes are covered in burn marks and grease.I finally figured out the equation to make a time machine. That’s why I want my little sister to come upstairs. And if she ever comes I can finish my plan. My plan to escape their abusive ways once and for all. It’s not like they mean to abuse me, I think they’re good people deep down, I’m just very far off of what a girl should be. My mother thinks girls should be pretty and speak their mind, but girls can’t be scientists or engineers or things like that. I would like to become an inventor, and I’ve skipped a couple grades because I was too far ahead. My mother was disappointed, but my dad was so happy. I wish he could see me now. He would be so proud of what I have created.
