Hello, My name is Daniel Roberts. I am your typical 15 year old. I have blonde hair, and you're typical color changing eyes. I'm serious, from far there green, from close there blue or grey. I seriously hate it, but I guess I have to deal with it. Anyway's, I come from Oklahoma City. Yeah, I am an Okkie. You got a problem?
My best friend is called Grover. He is pretty cool. He has some weird disease in his legs which make him have an lifetime excuse from Gym. Lucky guy, I guess. He gets in a lot of trouble with this guy called Kris Jones. Right now Kris was putting meat in Grover's hair, which was seriuosly un fair since Grover was a strict vegetarian.
I ignored Kris right then. It helped if I just closed my eyes. Then I would fall asleep, and that's where I like being. But i couldn't fall asleep right now. We where in the middle of lunch.
"Hey Crippy! Hey! Wanna try some of this delicious bacon!" Kris screamed at Grover while scoffing the meat in his mouth. His lackeys laughed at the joke, but I knew they did not really think it was funny.
Kris continued to do it until my temper broke. I stood up, went to his table and punched him right on the nose. It was not really hard, but he still got a nosebleed.
Kris looked at me and I looked at him. He tried to throw a punch back but I caught his fist. He was seriously surprised at that I could do that. Normally I just sleep and I'm lazy.
I punched him in the stomach this time, and then I kneed him in the crotch. He was lying down on the floor, bleeding. Teachers passed, not even looking down. Another typical day in Oklahoma City Retribution Center for the Young, or hell if you where living there.
Basically my mother sent me here because I'm a troubled kid. I have done this in about 10 other schools already, just because I was protecting the kids who where my friends. I can't really help it either. I have ADHD and Dyslexia. I also have anger management problems and the fact I'm always late for the morning classes because I overslept and I sleep in the afternoon classes.
She is a sports addict. She says I need to stop staying in my room sleeping all day during the weekends and go outside and have some fun. I sometimes do that, but only when it's warm so I can sleep in the shades on our outside couch. She gets angry at that and then leaves.
She thinks I do nothing but sleep, but when it's night I am the most awake. It feels like I was in cold water and I am more focused than ever. I usually do my homework at this time.
The bad thing of this school was that there where daily injuries. Lots of people got hurt all the time. Well that's what happens when you put a bunch of anger management kids in a school.
I continued my day normally after that, just without Kris. I slept during the classes, and Grover told me the homework. Then came my favorite lesson, Astronomy.
I focused way better in astronomy then in any other class. Mostly because it took near midnight, where I'm focused more often. The other reason is that I can just look in the sky and say, "That's Sagittarius."
I found myself enjoying the lesson more than usual. Maybe it was because of the fact that it was so quite without Kris. I don't know, but the lesson will probably stick in my memory for a lifetime.
One of Kris's Lackeys, John, was my partner for the lesson. We where supposed to predict each others futures.
I used the book to help me a lot. in the end, it turned out Jon's future was to become a billionaire in California. John prediction of my future was equally cool, atleast I thought then.
"You will become a hero," he said.
How little I did know I would regret being that.
