This is Me

1). How it all began

I had just turned 12.

Starting another school year

I used to love school and I looked forward to going back. I was 12 when it started..

I got out of my Mother's car. Another day at school.

But that day was different.. I didn't know how. I didn't know why. It was just different..

I watched my Mother's car pull away from the school curb in her bright red Honda, like I always did, but instead if turning and strolling into school, my feet didn't move.

I suddenly felt a wave of anxiety crush me. 'Why was I scared?' I thought..

I saw my Mother's car again just before it left and instead of walking away, my feet suddenly started to run. Run after my Mother's car....

That's when I knew..

Something bad was going to happen.....

And that's how it started..
