30 years ago, before I was put on this earth, there was a thing called peace. People could do what they wanted when they wanted, but I've heard that was a myth. But coming back to reality, I live in world where everyday we take a test on how to live, it's not hard it is like going through the motions of your life. You start taking the test at the age 13, I'm 12. My birthday was in 3 weeks, yes I'm nervous because what if I fail and I'm not normal what if... I'm different.
"Hello mother." I say. Our house is plain, red and yellow like every other house in this neighborhood. "How was school dear?" She replied. School I forgot about that we have clothes we wear the same day, always baby blue polo's with tan khakis. "Same as always mother, go to school learn stuff and come back home." which was true. "Ansel." "mother." I don't know why she cared any way, I mean I don't even care. "Anyways, what's for dinner." I changed the subject. "Food." She answers. "And you say I'm the smartie."
Just one week till I turn 13, I cant believe it, I keep telling myself I'm ready but yet, I'm still not sure. Could anyone ever be ready for the biggest day of their life. I shake just thinking about it, am I really taking a test to decide wether or not I'm normal. So many choices, I can never make just one. Life is not fair, is the excuse everyone makes but to me it means everything because this life that I live in is not at all fair. Problems can not be fixed in till you solve them. As I lay down, I think of what the test will be like, will I just be helping a stranger or help save millions of lives. This test will decide how I will live for the rest of my life and what my test will be like till I no longer breath on this earth. I feel as if my life is a nightmare that never ends till I'm gone.
Well it is just around the corner my birthday is tomorrow i will be shipped out of my house at 9 in the morning for the biggest day of my life, my brain says I'm ready yet my stomach says nope. "Good morning son, how did u sleep, tomorrow's a very big day isn't it." this was just the question I wanted this morning from my mother. "Yes it is tomorrow is my first test, and I will turn 13 just great." I reply sarcastically. "You know there is a rule in this town to always obey your parents." well this was not completely true for me. "You mean parent," the room fell silent. "Sorry I didn't mean to say that." My dad has been dead 10 years tomorrow, yep he died on my birthday. "No it's one honey, just go get dressed for school i laid out your pants and shirt."
The sun shines right through my window shades, waking me up. It is then I realize I am 13 today
