Intro
My life wasn't always the best...okay, it never was. I was always bounced around from foster home to foster home. No one ever had time or the patience for me, nor did they ever care. I had learned that nobody would ever really care for me and I just lived with it. I became anti-social and was forced to see psychiatrists for a problem that never existed, bullying wasn't a problem for me. What happened when I got bullied was enough to testify to that, I guess a few broken noses go a long ways. I never properly introduced myself, my nickname is Spook, mostly cause it's like I can just fade into the shadows and pop out of nowhere in time to scare the living daylights out of whoever was there. It's a lot of fun really.
I am 15 years old, have black hair with red streaks in it and chocolate colored eyes. I am 6'3 with an athletic build and spitfire personality to follow it, but nobody ever takes the time to notice this. My current foster home is with a man named Patrick and a nice woman named Grace. They just recently took me in to 'prepare' themselves for their new baby on the way. They insist they care about me but I've heard that speech and I don't believe it anymore than you would believe me if I told you a skunk smelled like a rose.
Anyways, that's not how it is anymore, cause I've found a new family, a new blue family. Let me tell you how it all happened...
I scratched at my neck as Patrick went on and on about me and my temper. Why? Cause I knocked some punk out at school for harassing me and threatening to slip drugs in my locker if I didn't do his homework for him. Grace agreed with me that I was just defending myself but Patrick ignored her and said he would not have some rebellious runt in his house. I spun to face him with tears in my eyes as Grace looked at him stunned.
"W-what?" I stuttered. He ignored the look that Grace gave him and I spun back around and went to my room that had the window fire escape. I slammed the door behind me and opened my window before climbing out onto the fire escape. I had my own little minni garden out here with a few vines and strawberry plants. I sat down on the cold metal and pulled my knees up to my chest as I wrapped my arms around them, gazing up at the stars.
"I wish, with all my heart that I could find a family that loves me for who I am." I whispered, a single tear falling down my cheek before crawling back inside and jumping into bed without changing. I soon fell asleep with the moon's light shining on my face.
