I am Braelyn Jones, A.K.A number 66782017. I am 16 years old, and attend a school specialized for children such as myself.
As you may or may not be aware, every child born within my society receive a number at birth. This number stays with them throughout their lives, and prevents them from doing certain things. For example; you may only marry, date, or talk to people that have a similar series of numbers; such as my parents, my mother's number being 66789413, and my father's being 66786514.
In my case I may only make friends with other children that have either the same 4 numbers as I (6678) or I may talk to other children at my school, they all have 6 as their first number.
I walk to school alone, as I have no friends. Do not be saddened, for it was my choice to be quiet and obedient in class. If a child has been terribly disobedient in class, they are sent to the school next to us; the 5's school, or vise versa. New students are transferred into our school all the time. I occasionally watch the children play outside while we're in class. I'm sure they do the same when we're at our lunch break.
