Clara Thompson

( Cleveland High)

Part of the Bottom Feeders Group at Cleveland High.

actually she was a red head and had freckles, but she dyed her hair in an unnatural deep black, wore thick mascara and has black eye make up. She wore black lipstick. Her hair fell into her face in such a way that it almost always obscured much of her face. She was dressed like a Goth, ripped fishnets, shorts, a worn black fake leather jacket and a faded heavy metal t shirt. On her feet clunky worn boots. Most of her stuff came from Thrift stores as she rarely had the money to buy new things.

Her father used to work in the mill, but had lost his job like so many others. When things went financially bad, her mother ran away with another man and started doing drugs. Her parents got divorced. They had to sell the little house they had and mother disappeared with her money a few weeks after the sale. The last time she had heard about her mother was that she had been arrested in California on Drug charges and stabbing a cop.

Her father got custody over the three children, Over Carla, Stephen her brother and her ten year old little sister.

Her brother just two years older than her had quit school and lived on welfare, dealing and theft. Her little sister was one report away from being taken by CPS.

 Her father was a good man and she loved him. He did his best to feed them and currently worked at McDonald and at a Car Wash. He was working 15 hours and more every day and just barely managed to pay the rent for the little inner city apartment and to feed his kids. Her Mother.
