The Secret Sahyounie

Chapter 1

ELIZA'S POV:

Daniel and I used to attend a public school until our parents deemed public education unfit for their "future successful" children and switched us to the private school Penola Catholic Collage.

Whatever. That did not bother me. What did bother me was once again they were on a buisness trip when it came time to register for school so Daniel and I had to enroll ourselves.

Daniel's enrollment form was submitted in the following state:

NAME: Daniel John Sahyounie

AGE: 17

HEIGHT: 165 cm

BIRTHDATE: October 31, 1994

And then there was mine, which Daniel kindly filled out for me:

NAME: Eliza Joan Adams

AGE: 17

HEIGHT: 155 cm

BIRTHDATE: January 3, 1995

He got two things correct on my form, my age and my height. These records were made public in the school system so any student was able to look at the forms.

Daniel told the school that we were half siblings and my birth mother left when I was still and infant and that we were unable to obtain my birth certificate until I was 18 years of age. The stupid school believe him, which made me Eliza Adams in their system.

So far I have lived through six months in this hell and I can not wait to be done with it. I am hoping Daniel and his friends will spend time somewhere other tham my house so I can spend longer than an hour out of my room.

You are probably wondering if I have any friends myself being that I go to school everyday and am forced to socialize with others. The answer to that is absolutely not.

Typically parents or a sibling would want you to have friends so you are not constantly around annoying them. Well my parents are never home and never talk to Daniel and I apart from when they come home to pack clean clothes and leave again so they do not give a shit about my life. Daniel on the other hand bullies me in school and makes fun of me out of school so nobody will talk to me because he does not want the secret to get out.

He has become so addicted to hiding this secret that I have to physically change the way I look. Daniel and I are identical apart from the fact that I am a female and he is a male so we have different "assets".

Coloured contacts were introduced to me before the beginning of the school year so I now appear to have blue eyes as opposed to my dark brown ones ones.

I also have coloured hair, it is red at the moment. Once my roots start to show Daniel gives me money, takes me to a salon and says "I do not give a shit what colour you get but you can not get brown or black." and that is that. He usually heads to Coles and typically I have to sit outside on the curb until he is done there and comes to pick me up.

I was pulled out of my daze as Daniel screams up the stairs, "You better get your ass in my fucking car or you are walking your fat ass to school!" and with that being said I grabbed my bag for school and walked out to his car.

Being the nice sister I am I tried to make conversation with him because I am probably not going to see him again until tomorrow because I have to walk home everyday.

"Hi Daniel! How are you?" I asked.

I did not even get a glace in my direction. I did not get a 'leave me alone' or a 'do not talk to me' hell, I could not even get a glare out of him.

After my simple gesture was completely disregarded, I quietly took my spot on the backseat floor and we took off. Yes - I have to sit on the floor so nobody who would be walking to school could see me.

Daniel drove until we were about a block away from school because God forbid, he park in the back of the school where you only park when the front lot is full. I got up from my cramped spot on the floor and got out of the car. Daniel sped off, leaving me stranded.

*SKIP WALK*

When I get into school I go to my locker and my 3 least favorite people in that school are standing in front of it; Daniel, Luke, and Jai.

"Wow you have cut scars on your arms? You attention seaking whore! I hope you bleed out in your bathtub next time." Daniel said as he looked at my old scars from when I attempted but he found me too soon.

I immediatly started to try and cover them up with the quarter-length sleeved shirt I was wearing.

"That's right. Try to cover them now that you have been exposed. You are just like every other 'suicidal' whore out there. Go ahead and say that we do not know what is happening in your life. We all know it could be worse." Daniel said. Now everybody in the hallway started staring at me.

Great, what an amazing way to start my day.
