Hi, my name is Liam, I'm sixteen years old and I live on driftwood dr.
In a tiny but cozy apartment and I live alone. I lived alone most of my life except when I was little I lived in an adoption center.
I had to live there but even when I was there I still felt alone.
All because I had purple eyes and was a little smarter. But the past is the past and I’ve learned to live alone.
I mean at first, it was hard to deal with the curly hair and the glasses on my own. You see I’m a clumsy person, so I was always breaking my glasses.
Luckily the adoption center would always supply a new pair glasses, well sometimes at least. Likewise, you can imagine how hard that was to deal with on my own.In the light of that, I was able to buy some contacts which don't break so easily and I was able to find some brown ones. So now people cant make fun of my eye color."At 9:30 today there was yet another air crash" the tv said breaking the silence of the room.
" I feel so bad for them". I hate seeing other people getting hurt. Wait I glanced at the clock and nervously read
"9:30 Oh no I'm gonna be late for school again". I quickly Grabbed my LET board and road quickly to school.
"Late again Mr. Marsh" croaked Ms. Perkins.Well, you try waking up by yourself with a broken alarm. But still, I groaned back.
"Sorry, Ms. Perkins it won't happen again". I yelled running to get to class. Then I started thinking did I do my homework, does anyone actually do the homework?Whatever I'll worry about that when I get into the class.
"The first time we got out of the solar system was the year 2050," said Mrs. Chapman as I entered the classroom.
"That's a nice fact, Mrs. Chapman"
"I would hope so Liam now go have seat next to Avery. I'll talk to you about why you were late again after class"
"Yes Mrs. Chapman," I said as gloomily said walking to my seat.
"you didn't miss anything anyway," said Avery Johnson. Avery Johnson or as I like to call her Icy rose. She was 16, blond and I'm not gonna lie the girl had looks. Me and her sometimes play video games together online and like with everyone I always beat her. I've known her since I moved out of the adoption center.
"I swear your eyes look purple sometimes," she said calm yet confused.
"You must be seeing things" I can't have one of my only friends leaving me just because of my eye color.
"Do you have something you like to say to the class, Liam?" Mrs. Chapman said annoyed.
"Uhh no, mam I'm good".
"Liam come to my desk everyone else may leave" Mrs. Chapman said quickly.
"Ringgg!" the last bell yelled through the school as I ran signaling the end of the day.In addition to the bell, the school crowded with teens and holograms of parents. Can you believe people used to have to call someone and they could only hear the person?
I ride my LET board looking around as the cars ride by me I realize that you I have to appreciate the little moment and that I am a spec in this big world. Or maybe I just need to make more friends. Either way, I'm deep.
