I'm weak. I have less than everybody else. And not in the clique way were I don't have a home or family and I have a depression and yadayadaya. I am physically less than everybody else. Literally. You know super humans? The idea that someone is a human, but for some 'unknown reason' they have enhanced senses or their brain works ten times faster. Well I'm the opposite. I have thinner blood than others, my bone density is poor, my hair is thin and my physical body isn't what it should be. While this is confusing for most it is still very real. I'm not too different appearance wise, maybe a little shorter for a 16 year old boy, but nevertheless pretty normal. The only difference is that my skin is pale white, sometimes it looks close to transparent and you can see nearly all of my veins. Since I was little I have been called 'vampire' by the other kids at school. And yes I did say that I didn't look too different but it was more noticeable when I was younger. I couldn't run around as much as the other kids and the sun did damage to my skin. I was told I always looked like I was ill and on one occasion my father was reported to the police for 'mistreating a minor' by one of the parents at preschool. Of course we had to explain and provide a certificate to say that I was just naturally like this. Since then the disease has taken upon the name. It didn't help that I had to receive blood injections everyday either for my continuously thinning blood. I got to know the nurses at the hospital very well. When I was younger I hated getting the injections, so one of the nurses would bake me cookies to calm me down. It's become a sort of tradition now. No one knows what this curious 'vampire' disease is, all I know is that I have it and it makes me weak.
