Who I Truly Am

“Wake up!”

“Uuuuuh...”

“Morning hun!”

“Morning mom…”

“Have a good sleep?”

“Yes…”

“Good! Now get dressed!”

“Yes mom…”

I can’t believe it’s morning already. I’m not ready to get up. I sigh as I get up and get dressed in a t-shirt with a silver pegasus on it. Then I just put on some jean shorts. I put on my flip-flops, brush my teeth and hair, and then I waited for everyone to be ready to leave for school.

When I arrived at school, everything was normal. But while we were waiting to be sent to class, I noticed someone sitting by themself. Someone I’ve never seen before. Which is unusual because I know everyone in my grade. So I went over there.

“Brb guys.”

“Where are you going?”

“To talk to someone. I won’t be long.”

“Ok?”

When I went over there, I noticed he was reading something. I got closer and saw it was a bible. I’ve never seen anyone read a bible in school before. It was weird for me.

“Do you need anything miss?”

Miss? Need anything? He sounds so nice and formal. I don’t understand. No one that I know does that. I only know people like waitresses. But that's it. Who says those kinds of things now-a-days? I wonder... Is he just trying to be nice? I don’t understand.

“Hello? Miss?”

“Oh sorry! I was lost in thought! I was just wondering why you’re sitting here all alone reading a bible. I’ve never seen you before either. Which is weird because I know everyone in this grade. So I just wanted to come and say hi. Maybe even get to know you a little bit!”

“Well, let me start by answering your questions. I am sitting here alone because I’m new here. Just moved into this town. So I don’t know anyone. I’m reading the bible because I love reading it! It’s a fun read! But I’m mostly reading it because, I’m not trying to offend, but I’m reading it because I’m christian! Now ask some questions and I’ll answer them with the honest truth!”

“Makes sense. Anyways, first question, what’s your name?”

“My name is Isaac.”

“I like that name!”

“Thanks. My parents named me after the Isaac in the bible.”

“Cool. Next question, where did you come from?”

“I came from Missouri.”

“Oh! So not that far away! That’s awesome! I actually have family who live there. Now, next question, did you have friends back at your old school? I’m sorry if I offend you in any way, I really don’t mean to.”

“No no! You don’t offend me in any way. Yes. I did have a bunch of friends at my old school.”

“Great! Ok, um-”

“Hey! You said you wouldn’t be long!”

“Oh, are those your friends?”

“Yeah. Sorry, I should probably go back to them now. Bye!”
