Mack's pov

I waved goodbye as Lucas walked to the front of his house, before he even made it to the door his little sister, June ran and hugged his legs, in my opinion she was still too small to be turning four. I quickly picked my camera and focused on their exchange before clicking the photo. Miss Jeyn didn't specify on what she wanted, so this would do just in case I can't find another picture.

"Hey Mackenzie" I heard a high voice call out.

I smiled as I waved at the little girl "Hi June"

I honked the bell as I drove off, still smiling. My smile slowly faltered as the silence of the car finally took over of my mood. I shifted in my seat as my foot stepped harder on the gas pedal, the sound of the car roaring brought a thrill that I had become so used to, driving fast felt just like flying, but my wings were clipped off sooner than I thought because I stopped when I saw the familiar white gates. The same white gates I had known ever since I could remember.

I pressed the little remote that always sat in my car and the gate automatically opened for me, I parked my car in front and walked into the only home I ever had, a house too big for one person. I walked into the study and took out my books. I didn't even have any homework since I was already ahead with all of it, and before you think anything, I'm no teenage prodigy, maybe you weren't even thinking that but anyways.

Ever since I could remember books were my only escape, my parents were never home and are still not home, they call, video chat, message, email, text, mail, every possible communication system they have used it. They tried, they tried to make me feel loved but some things you just couldn't do over the phone. People always ask me how awesome it is to have parents who are worldwide known, but the truth is sometimes when I watch my parents on tv, I don't see my parents, I see two actors. I was practically raised by the help, but my parents used to visit, as often as they could but now they believe I'm old enough to do things on my own, which is true but I can't help but feel abandoned, okay on to the topic at hand; my genuisness.

Books taught me how to survive life, reading, learning, practicing, through books I discovered how to look at life in a different point of view, I assess before I act, I study before I execute. Mathematics just happened to be one of those things that came easy to me because all I did was study, everything from Science to computers. A reaction for every action, life just seemed to make sense once you studied it, behaviours, attitudes, body language, and a secret language that allows a person to tell the truth through lying.

My brain had too many questions, so I occupied it by feeding it knowledge and new facts because my heart was silently breaking.

Even if I know their reasons, I always asked myself why my parents didn't take me with them, why did they have a kid to watch him grow from a distance, and why didn't they give me a sibling, atleast then I wouldn't have been so lonely.

But a part of me understood, leaving me here gave me a chance at a somewhat normal life, i got to go to school, made friends, built my own life.

"Hey Lo" I shouted into the air,

Laurence, my butler walked in, but he was more than just a butler, other than doing his job, he had also raised me for a good chunk of my life.

"Mackenzie, what did you do now?" he folded his arms.

"Party on Friday, I want food, a lot of food and drinks for everyone" I winked at him at the last part.

"I hope that Lucas kid stays away from all the fireworks, your parents wouldn't be pleased" he said with a light smile. The truth was I didn't really care if my parents would be pleased or not.
