Revelation

Chapter one: Beginning

It all started when I joined this webside called 'Shooting for the stars'. Cheesy? Yes, I know. But back then it was amazing, for a child at least. I was all into that galaxy stuff, thinking I'll find my answers within the stars. I was wrong, duh. But I really believed it. This was back then when I still wrote in my 'special' notebook. I stopped at one point because I just couldn't figure out why I would dream such things like flying. When obviously its impossible.

I began educating myself. About the world, outerspace, and the brain. I knew I wasn't a normal kid. Who the hell wants to be learning that at the age of six? My mom noticed it as well. I wasn't interested in dolls or anything pink. My room was filled with maps, plants, planets, every possible nature item you can think off. My first encounter that made me wonder so much about who I am was when I went over to a friends house. I expected her room to be exactly like mine, we'll go out in the wood and explore, we'll even share the same interests. I was wrong again, as I was alot when I was a child.

I look back and laugh at the shocker I went through when I step foot into her bedroom. It like staring at the inside of a whale, what the hell is this, the hell is that? I could feel my eyeballs circling at my odd surrounding. Pink everywhere, dolls of all sort everywhere, it was like walking into Barbies room. It was a dreadful evening. All this friend could talk about was her favorite cartoons and barbies. I gave a try, talking about the the stars and she interrupted by saying she knew all about it. She saw an episode of Marvin the Martian. I had no idea what in the heavens earth she was talking about? So I just agreed to everything she said. My mom later that day explained. That ladies and gentlemen was the last time I spoke to that poor ignorant girl.

From that point on I made no friends. I was interested in dirt while the rest of the girls were at the play ground pretending to be princesses. Eventually my outlandish personality got everyones attention and bullying was involved. My only worried parent did everything she can and took me out of school so I can be home schooled. It wasn't much because I was bullied but the fear of who elses nose I'll break. Trust me when I say I was a bad ass kid. I wasn't afriad. I was called Alien, which secretly I liked, and because I had more knowledge than those idiots, bullying them back was a piece of cake. But that only made them come up with more hurtful names, which I thought was cute. I got in plenty arguments and fights, I won all of them of course. I broke a nose or two and someones arm, no big deal. But when it come to the principle and parents it was huged. Well I'm sorry but they didn't have any control over their children, it wasn't my fault. They knew what they were doing and I sure for hell wasn't going to stand there doing nothing as I was laughed at. No sir, you ask for it, I give it to you. Words can never hurt me but sticks and stones will sure break they're bones. What? Someone had to teach them a lesson.

Being homeschooled was great! Especially when we moved to the middle of nowhere. The woods. Where I didn't have to deal with anyones negativity and where I was free. With the help of my mom I began learning more than a eight year old should. She knew she wasn't able to teach me everything so behind my back she began searching for a job in California eight years later. It sounds mean when I say she did it behind my back but thats the way it felt. She could have at least told me what she was planning. I didn't entirely agree with moving. I loved the place to make any rearragements in my life. I wasn't ready to interact with people who thought I was some sort of alien from a different planet. I would have suggested moving somewhere like Antarctica where I'll be able to learn about weather conditions and penguins. At that age I didn't know anything about the importance of money or what a career was. I thought life was that simple.

Should have known better though. My mom had big plans for me, while I just wanted to learn everything there was to learn. I wanted to know how things around me were able to function. How is life, life? One day as I was staring at an ant through a microscope my mom came in with a basket of fruit telling me she had big news. I thought she was going to tell me she found a meteor or something extraordinary. My heart began beating rapidly as I stared at the basket in her hands.

"What did you find mom?" my grin grew as I waited but as I waited her smile faded.

"Actually," she said placing the basket in the dinner table. "We're moving."

I'm not sure if she expected me to jump in happiness but my reaction to her was unaccounted for. It was like taking someones happiness away. They're going to fight, you know? But I should have fought harder, it could have saved her life.

Now the next step in my life wasn't as complicated as I thought it would be. My mom explained to me what money and jobs were. I never realized how uninformed I was. I felt like an idiot but it made me feel great at the same time. I now knew which was better than not knowing at all. Even so, I still didn't want to move. I was happy where I was. I didnt need to go to a big city and learn in a University. I could just stay in the woods and learn myself. Still ignorant, yes, I know. My mom kept saying it was only the beginning. Of what exactly? To her probably something great, to me death because I guess when we're kids everything can traumatize us. I had nightmares where I was pushed down an L.A building because everyone thought I wasn't normal and there was another where I was drowning in the ocen but no one helped instead they all laughed, even my mom was there. The only one that came was a great big white shark, I mean the thing was huge, I even heard the Jaws song on the background. The type of shit your mind comes up with it. I wrote those dreams down on my laptop where I had a 'special' file for them and moved on with my life. I accepted fate. I was going to die one way.

But of course being pushed off a building or being eaten by a shark wasn't one of them.

We all know that.
