A Dream of Living a Better Life

Twelve Years Later

It has been twelve years since my dads death and I still mourn for him sometimes. My mom died of a heart attack last year and my legal guardian is now Nelly. I am now twelve years old and going to a new school because of the memories of my mom at the old school. Although everyone still thinks my parents are alive because only select few people know that they are dead. "Time to wake up and go to school", Nelly comes and wakes me up. Oh I'm not a morning person at all my blood type is AB and I also have photographic memory. "I'm coming down stairs in a few", I yell to her. Ever since my mom died Nelly and I have grown very close to each other. So I got ready for school and had my personal butler bring me to school in my limo. I arrive at the school and see many people staring. I get out thank my butler and go inside the office to get my schedule. I had already gotten the tour a few weeks ago before summer was over so I wouldn't get lost. I walk into my first class and watch everyone stare at me, especially the girls. I put my long hair into my beanie and now everyone thinks I'm a guy. I have my reasons to be disguised as a boy. I'm a very talented person and am trained in martial arts, karate, other fighting, football, soccer, tennis, volleyball, track, and other sports. I'm going to try out for the football team after school tomorrow. "Why don't you introduce yourself", the teacher suggests. "Sure why not, hi people my name is Katrina Lovelace", I introduce myself. There are a bunch of recollected gasps rippling across the classroom. Another thing about me I may live in a rich family but my life ain't perfect. I've been bullied badly all my life and at one school it got so bad and physical I had to switch schools. I smile a lot but my smiles are fake. I've been hurt by heartbreak and I gave up on love. I usually hide my pain and depression behind my anger and fake smile/laugh. I also lie to kids and teachers at school telling them I'm fine when truly I'm depressed. The sad thing is I have trust issues and am that lonely person who sits all by themselves. At the end of the day they make an announcement that football tryouts are tomorrow.
