You're Different and that's extraordinary

II: Are You new?

"You want to take the van or the car today Will" my mom asked me asked as she wheeled me to our garage. I had a blanket wrapped snuggly around my torso because apparently it was too cold outside and she wasn't taking the time to put my coat on over my cast and everything just to have me take it off in the store to try on shirts, In my opinion I looked like a doofus because it wasn't just a blanket she picked out it was like a full blown comforter, if anyone from this new school sees me like this there goes any chance of being normal-ish.

"The van I guess, I don't feel like moving from this seat today" I huffed.

"Okay Mr.Bossy that will work for both of us cause I don't have to help your fat butt into the car, fold up your chair put it in the trunk then get it out again when we get there" She picks on me pushing me up the ramp in the back of our van.

"I don't weigh that much and this stupid cast weighs like fifty pounds on it's own" I complain.

"If that's what your blaming it on" she chuckles.

We walked into some clothing store that I was too lazy to read the name of and as soon as I saw how many people were here I almost flipped. I hate being around people now, they take one look at me in my wheelchair and I get immediate pity from them. 'Oh you poor thing','It must be awful what happened','I'm so sorry'.

But none of them mean it and most look down at me with disgust like I'm not worthy of breathing the same air as their snobby butts.

'You aren't worthy, you should died, your a waste of space and oxygen' the negative voice in my head tells me.

'Maybe I am, the only thing I am is trouble, I can barely take care of myself, my mom would be better off with out me burdening her life' I think to myself.

"What's wrong Will you have the arguing with myself face again" she asks concerned.

"Why do you put up with me? I'm useless a waste of space" I ask and she stops right in the middle of the isle.

"Don't be thinking like that again William Alexander Solace I love you too much for you to think like that if anything were to happen to you I don't think I could go on living" she muses.

"You don't mean that I'm just the freak who's been bullied and picked on his entire life it would have been better if Autumn or Emily or Sabrina survived they weren't disappointments, they had meaning to their lives" I tell her.

"No stop telling your self that you are just as important and valued as your sisters were and if they saw you beating yourself up like this they would tell you the same thing" she says confidently.

"Okay, Let's continue people or staring to stare" I give up.

"Let them stare you're a handsome young man and you should be proud of who you are"

We walk around for a while picking up various different shirts and pants. She already knows what size I am so I don't see why I have to try them on but as we were going to the dressing rooms she notices that she doesn't have her purse and left me by a rack of shirts to 'browse' while she runs out and gets it.

Getting bored of the three shirts displayed in front of me I took out my phone. Not to text anyone because I didn't have any friends the only people in my contacts are my mom, dad, and sisters who I'm reluctant to remove. I got out my phone because I have an iPhone and can play games.

"Hey are you new?" A voice asks in front of me.

I look up from the screen to see a girl about my age with blonde hair tied up and stormy gray eyes.

"Yeah I'm starting at Westwood tomorrow" I say shyly, I wonder why she's talking to me all the people in the store she could take to and she chose the pathetic guy in a wheelchair.

"That's cool I go there too, my Name's Annabeth Chase I live my with boyfriend Percy since my dad lives in San Fran for work, and you are?" She says.

"Will Solace" I mumble.

"You don't seem to with it with the whole friends thing I told you something about me now you tell me something about you" she moving her arms to signal wanting me to elaborate.

"Uh I just moved her from Wyoming and I live with my mom" I say not wanting to go into the details of why I was in a chair and why I had a cast.

"That's must be cool, what grade are you in?" she smiles.

"I'll be in ninth" I say still wondering why she was talking to me and she called me her friend, I never really had friends before.

"That's too bad I'm in tenth so we probably won't be seeing each other, but here,"she snatches my phone out of my hand and I can here her typing something,"now you have my number feel free to text or call me anytime" she smiles handing it back to me just in time for hers to buzz.

"Sorry my mom needs me I have to go Will, see you around?" she asks after checking it.

"Yeah maybe" I say sad she had to leave this was the longest conversation I had with someone that wasn't my family or a doctor for as long as I could remember.

"Who was that Will she's pretty cute" my mom smiles from behind me.

"Mom she has a boyfriend" I groan, she was always pointing out when she thought a certain girl was cute claiming that I should be more social and that I should be in a relationship but I mainly just ignore her suggestions because I don't like girls like that. Maybe as like a best friend but not as a girlfriend.

"Well who was she then?" She raises her eyebrow.

"Her name's Annabeth she goes to Westwood too" I say.

"Well that's nice, are you ready to try on your stuff?" My mom asks expectantly.

"I guess but can we just do the shirts I don't feel like trying on pants to much hassle" I shrug.

"Course Will we can try on a couple of the shirt then we can go for our ice cream" She pushes me towards the dressing rooms.
