Let me tell you a bit about my life,
My first name is Zoxhy but everyone calls me Xhy, last name, I don't have one. I was abandon in a trash can when I was just a baby, I know harsh huh? But don't worry I'm not alone, there's more kids like me.Not all abandon but with a harsh childhood and together we form a 'family' well we call it a family others call it a gang. Anyone can join but the price is painful, joining is easy yet painful but getting out? Well that's another story. Are we dangerous? we can be. Do we hurt others? Sometimes. Are we powerful? you can say we are. Are there others? there's this other gang, who lives in our neighborhood and goes to our school, you can say that they keep us in our toes. who's in charge of our gang? David, my crazy, psycho, possessive boyfriend, who used to be the best in my life, but we all change with power don't we?
To make matters worst there's this new boy, who I cant get out of my mind, or stay away from, if David finds out he will find a way to make him disappear forever. But don't feel bad for me, I don't need your pity. I'm not as weak as you think I would be.
My name is Zoxhy and I'm not afraid to fight, let the sky fall, and when it crumbles I will stand and face it.
