Hello all.

     I don't know what to say here.  I live in the Advanced Research Center sometimes called the ARC.  I can't remember my parents.  I have lived here since they died.  My Doctors say that I have to stay here because I need special treatments to stay alive.  I can't be around people that have not been inoculated against the disease I have.  They say it is very contagious.  I am so tired of living here.  I will be 18 soon but then I will be able to leave.  I have met so many other patients here, but they always leave when they turn 18.  
     We have a party and we all say goodbye and we all wave as they get into the elevator.  We never see them again.  They always say they will visit and write, but they never do.  I can't wait to leave.  
     My doctors don't know that I have this Wattpad app on my tablet.  I just signed up and I like reading the books, but I have to hide what I am doing.  Doctor Jones is mean to us when we break the rules.  
     I do like when I get to see Jessie.  She is number 301.  Our birthdays are on the same day.  Crazy right.  She is really pretty.  She has long dark hair and light brown eyes.  I have to admit that sometimes I don't know what to say to her.  I get a little flustered around her.  
     I don't really write, so I plan to just keep some sort of a journal.  I hope the books I read will tell me something of what it will be like when I get to live in the real world.  

     Maybe I will see you when I move out of here.
