I'm Amber Rossa. I'm 17 years old and start my first day at school tomorrow at Shyka Academy. I've worked so hard to get here, through all of the exams and studying, I'll be able to get the highest education the city offers! I'm very excited to see King again, I haven't talked to him in years.
Ever since our family moved away here, it's been so lonely. I haven't had anyone to talk to and my family isn't exactly the friendliest. I'm the oldest, so the pressure is always on me to be a good role model for my younger siblings. Constantly left and right would be my parents yelling at me to bring my grades up when I only had a 95. They strived for me to be perfect, they were always determined to mold me into their angel. They weren't even impressed when I got a 96 or higher on the entrance exams, I was just greeted with a sigh and "You can do better."
School was always my favorite place to go. I could get away from my toxic family and loud siblings. It was like my sanctuary, even though this exact place was why my parents were always on my back all the time. I'd always fake my smile because of the mess happening at home and the breathing I always had down my neck from my parents, especially from my mother. I met King when we were in kindergarten and it was always so fun to forget about my troubles at home and play hide and seek together. Until we took it a little too far and I was forced to hide from him because of the big move from a small run-down town to a huge city that was almost like a maze to navigate.
Of course, I'd only crack when I was alone. I used to cry so much that it's why I have glasses. My parents weren't happy about my vision being horrible though, they grounded me for a month and a half for not having amazing vision. My glasses were just physical evidence of how poorly they've affected me.
It is their fault though, I hope that someday they recognize they harm that they've brought upon me. I don't need to live up to anybody's expectations or rules, I just wanna be my own person and not be played with like a toy. I want to be what I want to be.
I want to be me.
