Hello. My Name is Selene Emerald Riverson. I'm 12. I live with my workaholic father Jacob, my abusive stepmother Lianna and my mean stepsister Brittany. Living at home is like hell to me.
Being at school is no better. I have only one friend. His name is Grover Underwood. He's a few years older than me, but having one friend is better than none. Practically everyone else at school is afraid of my appearance. I have long auburn hair, but that's not the problem. The problem is my eye color and the color of my tears. My eyes are silver, and my tears are silver, not colorless. The meaner kids tease me, calling me a bastard, freak, bitch and a bunch of other names. Even the teachers don't care. They're afraid of me too.
The only thing I really love is archery. I always go to the forest behind my house to practice my archery. I forget all my problems the moment I reach the forest.
The kids call me a bastard because my parents were never married. My father always described my mother as 'a pretty young lady with auburn hair and silver eyes'. I just love asking him about my mom. He will get this dreamy look and say "Your mom was a kind and pretty young lady. I was about 18 when I met her. She told me that she swore to never fall in love, but she said that I was different from all the other guys, especially her annoying twin brother. I still remember she loved archery. I would always take her to that forest behind our house. A year later, you were born. You know, Selene, you remind me so much of her." After hearing my dad, I always dreamed of meeting my mom. I believed that she will changed my life.
