A small recap of my life, when the virus broke out I was 13, in 8th grade. I live in Sunshine, North Carolina, and always had. My birthday is June 29, 2006, and for as long as I can remember, my life has always been the same.
Wakeup, go to class, which, has always been online, all your friends are there, that's the only way you can make friends because you can't leave the house. Life is so simple.
Never leave the house but to get groceries or other essential items, you can go to a park but never interact with anyone else, if you're caught outside between 22:00 and 06:00, you're arrested, if you refuse, you're shot.
I am now 18, it's 2025, and I graduate this year. I should have graduated in 2024 but I chose to go to the early college so I got an extra year of high school, but I graduate with both my high school diploma and associate degree so I'm not complaining.
I went to bed around 23:30 on April 24th, 2025. When I woke up, I thought it was going to be a normal day.
