'Hello! This is the first time I've ever written a letter to another person that would actually be sent... So... Hey, I'm Omega, well, that's my fake name, I have no idea who could be reading this other than you, so best protect who I am... Well I guess I should tell you a few things about myself, I'm a virgo (not that I follow the horoscope, but when asked I need to know) and I love music, my favourite instrument is the piano, it's so versatile, happy songs, sad songs, fast songs. It is the best instrument. Also, in school I was... Mediocre, to say the least. Tests were just not my forte, but in lessons I was great. I was bullied for moving here from Africa, to Spain, to France and then now Britain. "But why?" You ask. Well, kids are cruel, they find any small reason to ridicule someone new over. As a result, my marks suffered. I was never able to learn a language well enough to be fluent, so now I can speak French and Spanish but I can't carry a conversation in the languages for the life of me. I was born in Africa and I was raised there for about two years, my parents never tell me anything about our time there, that's the only thing I know... It's like a hole in my story or a puzzle piece that you just can't find... Then we moved to Spain, we stayed there until I was 7 years old, those years were spent learning and travelling, they weren't too bad, but I can barely remember half of the time. I was too young.  Then we moved to France, the first place that felt like home. School was okay and the beauty of the city was overwhelming yet amazing, but we moved again when I was 14 to Britain. Here was great, and I'm still here, actually! The only bad thing here was school and the weather, like the sky was always crying. But that's enough of my story, tell me about you? I'm running out of paper so that's all for today, reply soon.
