          I looked at the clock. It read 3:45. I hadn't meant to stay up this late, but it didn't really matter. I kept reading the same text over and over. 'George and I just started dating. I really think he's the one for me.' I wanted to yell. I wanted to cry. I wanted to be mad at George, but it wasn't his fault. He and Dream just went so well together.

          I put my phone down and rolled over. I looked at the wall covered in posters of bands that my friends and I liked. I also had LED lights that were always alternating between red, orange, and yellow, like a flickering flame. I had always liked fire. I felt an emotional attachment to it, which I know sounds like I'm higher than a kite, but fire was just... perfect.

          My alarm was set for 7:00, but I had turned it off. I decided that I was going to fake sick tomorrow. My parents were hardly ever home, and when they were, they were all over each other, and my little sister, Topaz. They both worked out of state, so they were always gone. This week, they had come home for a party one of their colleagues was hosting.  They both had high-paying jobs, but I hated it. Everyone they knew expected me to be a perfect, polite young man. 

          I didn't know how to be the way people wanted me to be. I wasn't cut out for the prissy get-togethers, fancy cruises, or polite tea parties. I like skateboarding, and playing drums. I like screaming lyrics to heavy metal songs and playing video games with my friends. I like getting tattoos, and piercings. My parents always told me I was special. I knew that they loved me, in their own way, but I always felt like a disappointment, because I was nothing like them.

          I turned my shared Spotify playlist on, and I fell asleep, listening to songs that I hadn't heard in the longest time.
