Little Monsters

Different

In a city, there lives a girl, a girl in which has a tragedy of her own. She has her way of proving things and I think for once; she's tired of keeping her monsters in.

I am different. My brain, my life, my style is completely different from the rest. Family's where I live believe in things that I don't; for instance they believe in that every person here is perfect, and that imagination is basically dangerous. Unfortunately I am not basic. My name is Haven Drake, but most people just call me Haven, I am not your average, normal, perfect teen. I am far from that... very far.
My mind has a different way of thinking things from the rest, And if people find out what makes me different from them...

I'm afraid of what they would do to me. What the city would do to me.

School is about to end and I'm surprised that I survived half of the semester. Tomorrow begins the the second to last week of school; I'm a sophomore in Parksville High where most of this city's angels go. Don't think I'm that lonely and depressed girl who has no social life. I talk to people, in fact I haven to be very known; wouldn't count myself as popular but I'm not a loner ... on the outside, but on the inside I am alone. I walk the halls with my best friend Brice everyday. Me and Brice have been neighbors our whole lives, which we automatically became best friends. We even used to have a secret hideout in my basement where we went to get away from the world sometimes. He was the perfect, cute rich kid next door to everyone, but to me he was different... just like me. He doesn't like to admit it but Ik he has flaws. At school he's now the hot, cool, perfect rich boy; we still hang out a lot, he comes to my house almost everyday after practice but he's just not the same, I used to think I was normal around him, but now he's just changed, he's the same as the rest and I have to blend in with him and the rest. He still doesn't know either. I can't tell him I'm different; I can't tell anyone. I guess even best friends have to keep secrets from each other too.
I have to pretend everyday at school and in the city that I Haven Drake is the same as everyone else. Perfect. I have to pretend around my parents, my teachers, the school and the city. I wander every day when will this end.

My name is Haven Drake, but most people just call me Haven, I am not your average, normal, perfect teen... I am different.
