Liam was always just an average kid to everybody else. He always got Bs and Cs in school, he lived in an average house, and he never stood out of the crowd. Especially never got noticed by any of his crushes, but there was one thing that wasn't average about him: His story...

One day when he was 8 years old his parents took him to school then went to work like any other day. They worked in a nuclear power plant that was developing a new booster shot for the US army. But that day his parents were involved in a work accident. The tank holding the chemicals exploded killing everyone in the building and inside a 10-mile radius. Liam and his older sister, Sarah were told after school that day. they were both sad, but Liam was so young he didn't really understand everything at the time. But Sarah, on the other hand, was totally and utterly crushed. Three days before there parents funeral, Sarah committed suicide, she wrote two notes, on to society and one to Liam, that no one but him has read. After that day he was left to grieve all alone.

-9 years later and Liam is in 11th grade with a part-time job to pay his rent.-

Liam's Point of View

*BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!*

"Already? But I've only slept 6 hours." I mumbled groggily. Oh well, life's gonna go one whether I get up or not. I get up to put on my usual jeans, T-shirt and, black Converse. I woke up late so I can't eat breakfast. I'll be hungry later for sure. I'll just steal some food from Blair. Speaking of Blair, I look at the clock it's 4:30, I run out of my house. "I'm sooo late!"
