My name is Akuji. It means dead and awake. I was born dead but woke up five minutes later. that's how I got my name. I'm 12 and in middle school. I have blue hair and blue eyes. I often get bullied for my blue hair because its unnatural to have blue hair. Most people would think its dyed but it's not. My parent's didn't want me. They kept saying they see a grim reaper around me when I'm sleeping, so I live with my uncle who is really nice. He has a boyfriend and he is also very nice. My uncle is thinking to propose to his boyfriend. He asked me if I was okay with it and I was really excited and said he should do it.
I was sitting in class. 5 minute till class get's out if I hurry I can get out off school fast enough, I can ovoid the bullies and not get beaten up to day. I closely watched the clock. I started to pack up three minutes before. The bell rang and I bolted out of the classroom. I ran down the stairs. I ran out the door and ran towards the gate. Come on, Come on. Three boys stepped in front of my way. "Where you going Akuji" said a boy. I stopped in my tracks. I turned around hopping I could run to a different way but there where three more boys behind me.
Two boys grabbed me from behind and dragged me behind the school building where there where there where 4 more boys. "Look who tried to escape us again" said one of the bullies holding me. "Please stop hurting me" I said. "Oh no, Please stop, oh stop don't hurt me" A boy mocked. The boys started laughing. One walked up to me. He punched me in the stomach. The boys let me go and I fell to the ground.
They started kicking and hitting me. I curled up in a little ball. They kicked and hit me for a long time before stopping. They left. I got up. I was in so much pain. I made my way bock home. When I got home I put my back pack down and walked into the front room. My uncle saw me. "Akuji what happen" he said. "A couple of kids beat me up" I said. He walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. "Oh kid if you want, you don't have to go to school tomorrow" he said. I hugged him back. "Okay" I said. He let me go. "I'm going to go do my home work" I said.
"Alex is making curry to night" my uncle said. "Okay" I said. I went up to do my home work. It soon got dark and my uncles boyfriend Alex, made dinner. My uncle came to me and got me for dinner. We sat down and ate. "Akuji what happen to you" Alex asked. "Just a couple of bullies" I said. "Tell Grant who these kids are" Alex said. "No I don't need to do that" I said. "Akuji these kids are beating you. I can arrest them" my uncle said.
"No you don't need to do that" I said. "Why" they both said. "I just don't want to cause problems" I said. "Akuji" My uncle shouted. His phone started to ring. He pulled it out and looked at it. He answered it. "Aaron...kay I'll be right over" he said and hung up the phone. He stood up. "Their calling for me, another body" he said. He bent down and kissed Alex. He pointed at me. "We will have this discussion later" he said. He walked and got dressed. HE then left.
Alex got up and walked over to me. He pulled me into a hug and started crying. "I hate seeing you get hurt. You need to tell Grant the names of those kids who are hurting you" he cried. My dad's boyfriend adores me. HE had a child of his own but his wife died giving child birth and the child was very sick and died after he turned 3. HE meet my uncle and they fell in love then he meet me. I reminded him of his dead baby girl. She was always so happy and cherry and so an I. He immediately fell in love with me and took very good care of me. He dyed his hair blue so I wouldn't feel left out. He has glasses and blue eyes.

I hugged my uncle back. He cried into my shoulder. "Your always so nice to people even tho their mean to you" he cried. I let him cry into my shoulder for a good half hour. We finished dinner and then we went to bed. I woke up the next day around 9:30. I wasn't going to school so I was good. I went down stairs. Alex was cooking biscuits and gravy. "Hey Breakfast is almost done. your father is at work already and told me your staying home today" he said. "Alex likes to call my uncle my father seeing as my parents didn't want me.
I smiled and went and sat down at the table. He soon finished and brought me over the food. "Hey if Grant is my dad, does that make you my mom" I asked and smiled. "No not yet. Once your father proposes to me and we get married then I'll be your mom" he said. "I hope that's soon" I said. He laugh and then said "me to". We finished eating. I went back up to my room. I opened the door and walked in. I closed the door behind me. I looked to see a tall figure dressed in a long black cloak holding a sythe floating above the floor. "Waah" I screamed.
