Hi my name is Kai Thompson and I'm 15 years old and I'm a junior at Michelle high school in Glenwood Colorado.

You could say that I'm a loner or a reject or even an outcast and honestly I couldn't argue with you I used to be able to be able to defend myself from it but now I just kinda go with it it's not really a insult now more like a compliment.

Today it hit me hard when a group of girls walked past me snickering and saying stuff like wow what a freak, does she just get hand me downs from her dead brother, you know what, yes my brother died two years ago actually he was 17 he was fighting lung cancer for 4 years.

It was his friend's birthday and mom let him go and his friends had been drinking and they ran out and his friend,Ricky went to go get more and my brother tagged along he tried to convince Ricky to let him drive.

Because he was the only sober one but he said that it was his car so he was going to drive even if he was drunker than an Irish man on a Friday night.

Ricky was doing pretty well but then it took a turn for the worst, Ricky accidentally pressed the gas at a red light and went into oncoming traffic and an eighteen wheeler hit and basically pulverized my brother and his friend Drake in the back seat.

Ricky walked away with just a few scratches I was the first to get the call for some strange reason, immediately right after they said that my brother was dead I dropped to the floor and curled into a ball and cried, cried, and cried.

My brother was my best friend the only one I could talk to, I had no one else I mean I couldn't talk to my parents about the stuff me and my brother talked about it was just too, ya know and ever since his death I became what people call me as I walk down the halls of the cold cruel place we call high school.

A reject.
