The boy who couldn't talk

Billy

Hi I'm billy and this is my prison diary. I'm in grade 5, 10 years old. A little young to be in jail huh? Well not after you hear my story....

I never could talk whenever I tried it just came out like " hai bi mane isss belly" that means my name is billy. Some kids called me belly the lion because I said my "mane" is  belly. You can imagine how much I was teased. Some times i couldn't even speak it just came out like ghifcbxsfunbcfnillr. I was always so smart I could read and write, I could do everything a normal child could do except talk.

The kids traded secrets about me on the bus as I walked by. I overheard lots of mean conversations about me, I was getting tired of it so I yelled " stop making fun of me or else you will be sorry, I hate you all" but it came out like " plop naked fron off me orr Elsa you will bean mommy" I was devastated,  howl soes thins happy !! I constantly asked my mother but she knew I was asking how does this happen, she told me it was a curse that could not be undone. She was a lovely mother she always took care of me and understood me the only thing I looked forward to seeing in the morning. My dad always went to work but he was just as amazing. They were the only people I could trust. *sigh*

Oh but the worst was the day after that. I asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom but of course I came out "can I goat th bathing suit" I wrote it on a piece of paper so he could understand he agreed, some jerk yelled out "have fun seeing Elsa plop naked in front  of you" they all laughed. I turned back and yelled screw you! But you know " scoow youp" my life just kept getting worse. In the bathroom I overheard two boys talking bad about me. "Hai my mane is belly ha aha ha a". I was just so done with the bullies but I couldn't say anything so I wrote a threatening note and put in all of the bullies locker. It read " you make fun of me constantly, I tell you to stop and you make more fun, I'm done if you make fun of me one more time I'll kill you all..." . I know it was bad but still that's the only way to stop it.

When I got home my mom and dad were at the dinner table and asked me to join them. We had a nice family dinner.

When I went back to school all the kids that bullied me except one stood in front of me with there notes. They al ripped them up and threw them on me. Everyone walked away expect one he waited and asked me " how was you date with Elsa" . Oh it angered me, one person listened to my threatening note. I saw her in class her name was Sarah. I said hi to her. It came out weird but I think she understood because she said hi back, I sat down and said I'm sorry about my note but the bullies needed to stop. It didn't come out that way tho it came out " I'm so we a goat my moat butt the bunnies medeed toe plop. I started writing it but she said "it's ok billy, I understand". What? What was this? A person besides my parents being nice. "I always could understand what you were saying I just didn't want to be bullied too" she told me.   I said "it mine" I meant to say it's  fine. She said good. I feel like I have a friend! She asked if I had a mom. Which I did. She told me that jack (the guy who waited to ask me about Elsa) said you lived  with your maid. Which I didn't. I was confused to why jack would say that so I said "why would you say I have no mom and I live with a maid because I don't by the way"! But he didn't understand me, just laughed.  I decided to kill jack. I know he didn't do much but if he died no one would ever make fun of me again so I planned his death a will send him a note pretending to be Sarah. I will write " meet me under the bleachers at 5:30 today" when he come I will put a bag over his head and when he dies I will put him in the noose I set up people will think it's suicide. I know it's a terrible thing know but back then it seemed like the only choice I had.

Well I did it I did kill jack. He didn't put up a fight he let me kill him. Well the police knew it wasn't suicide right away. The note I wrote was from "Sarah" so they went to her she was shocked and blah. Someone told the police that they saw me put a note in his locker. So they found me and now I'm in here. Wait no I didn't go that easy...

I ran away they couldn't find me for a month but then I did a bad thing. I figured they would have forgotten about me so I went back and Sarah was gonna tell the police about seeing me so I had to kill her. It was horrible, my only friend had to be killed by me. Then Sarah's older brother walked out and saw me with bloody hands and Sarah on the ground dead I knew I had to kill him too so I did, it wasn't easy since he was bigger than I was but it had to be done. I quickly ran out of the house before anyone else saw me! I hid in the woods and thought "if   They catch me I will go to jail for life I killed three people!" Then I heard sirens, I saw red and blue flashing lights, it was the police before I could get up and run a tall black man grabbed me and said "this ends now kid, your killing streak ends here, oh and what's your name?" I said billy, ya right I said belly and he said "this not a Time for jokes kid" he couldn't understand me it was awful but eventually they figured out I couldn't speak properly. And I ended up here... Now you know my life story.
