More Than Somebody

by SlytherinDemigod13

There aren't many stories about Ethan out there, but I've always felt so sorry for him, so I had to write this. All Ethan wanted was for the others to know he existed. All he wanted, was to make a difference.

I'm somebody. Everyone is. But just because I'm somebody, doesn't mean I'm special.

Ethan wasn't the smartest kid in class, or the dumbest. He didn't make the highest grades, or the lowest. He wasn't the tallest, or the shortest. He was just there. He was just another kid.

But if he was just a normal kid, then why wasn't he good enough to know who his mother is? And honestly, who his father is. You can't really know someone who's always drunk, can you?

He wasn't special at all. No matter how hard he tried, no one seemed to pay much attention to him. All his achievements were just dismissed with a simple nod of the head, a little thumbs up, to show that they knew, but ultimately didn't care.

I'll show them. Somehow, someday. I'll show them. I'll be accepted, just like all the rest.

AaAaAaAaAa

I'm less than somebody here. Here, I don't have an identity. Instead, I have a desire.

He wanted to know why it had to be him.

Why was he just another kid for the Ares cabin to push around?

Why was he just another kid for the Stolls to prank?

Why was he just another kid for Mr. D to pick on?

Was it something he did? Something he said? Or was he just not good enough? Was he not good enough to know who his mother was? Was he not good enough to know where he came from? Were all the other kids, the claimed, somehow better than him?

I have a desire. I want to know my mother. I want an identity. I want them to know that I'm not just another kid.

AaAaAaAaAa

I've made the deal. It's done. Now, it's time.

It's time for him to show them that his identity burns just as bright as their's.

It's time for him to show them that he's more than just somebody, more than just another waste of a person.

It's time for him to show them that he can do great things.

Because the deal is sealed. I've payed the price, and now I'll get what I deserve. I lost a part of myself, but at the same time I'll gain something much greater.

I am Ethan Nakamura. And it's time for me to make a difference.

Please tell me how that was. Constructive criticism is very welcome.
