Secrets

Chapter 1: Cake with A Secret Topping

          Have you ever felt like you have that one place that you call home? Although I do,most of the time, I live a normal teenage life. I have a lot of friends. I also have a big family. Just in the same way, I have a normal family. Of course I have obnoxious siblings. With that I also have protective parents. Furthermore I have normal friends. We all love to hang out.Just like we all love to gossip. Therefore I have a normal life.

         Sometimes I think that I may be a problem to my family. Undoubtedly, it's because I am adopted. I have always been a little bit different from the rest of my family. I have never learned the same things as them. Nobody denies that I cause any problems. I ask my parents they stay quiet. I ask my siblings they stay quiet too. Obviously I don't belong here. This isn't my place to be. I have another home. Indeed I do not belong here.

          My friends don't understand me, is that normal? I know I said I have a normal life but my friends do not understand me. I explain something, they do not understand. I ask about something important, they do not understand that either. As well as they don't have complete trust in me. They keep secrets from me. They leave me out of major discussions. Generally speaking, I feel left out. As if I do not belong with them. As if they are the wrong people to be with. Certainly I have another place to be.

           I know where I belong. I know who my real friends should be. I know what my real parents are. They are not human, they are a mystical creature. I do not belong in this town. Therefore I do belong where I feel most comfortable. I belong in the forest, where I belong, where I feel most comfortable, most safe. I belong there only because I am a fairy.
