Different

Perry The Lonely One

My name is Perry, I am different. Different from my parents, different from my classmates, different from my siblings. You may be wondering why I'm different and not unique.

The reason being, I have pure white hair and can read others mind. I can never tell a lie or else. I have no friends because everyone is afraid. But I don't care, all I want to do is finish school, get a college degree for anything and find out where I belong. I may be different but there has to be someone like me.

I have 1 brother and 1 sister, they are twins. They're called Emily and Joshua, Emily and Joshua are lucky, because they'll always have each other. Yet I have no one. Mum wants the twins to play with me so I'm not so lonely. But I'm sure the twins don't like me. Before I could use my... abilities, I read the twins mind when they were babysitting me in my younger years.

"Ok, Emily, Joshua, look after Perry while I'm at work" Mum told the twins. The twins had a fake smile on their face. "Sure thing, Mum!" Emily said. "Mum, stop calling me Joshua. I like to be called Josh from now on. Bye love you." Joshua told Mum. "Have a good time, I'll be back shortly." Mum announced. I was quiet. The twins looked at me in silence. 'What are we suppose to do with a twerp like her? She won't even speak!' Emily thought. 'Why can't we just go to the movies like we planned, but this idiot didn't want to go to work with Mum. She's such a weirdo.' Joshua thought. I was heartbroken, I could burst into tears. I ran up to my room without a word. Some people would've spoken up and told them something, but I was 8 and they were 12! That's the day I found out I could read people's mind. It was a blessing but also a curse...

Now I'm 13 and can control my powers. I can use them to entertain kids at parties, but after a while they'll think it's rigged and tell there parents and that's when trouble starts. My intentions are good, but some people just don't see that...
