Chapter 1: The Truth

I woke up and already my mom was yelling at me, which if you are me, is not a surprise. Throughout my life I have done bad things, not bad just bad enough to be yelled at and even when I think I'm not doing anything, I am. My family lives in the Rockies in a small cabin, I have two sisters who tend to disappear for a long time and my dad left us when Alicia (oldest sister) was born.

When I wake up I have five minutes to get ready, and then I go to school which is pretty close to my home. My school is for the ADHD and Dyslexic kids, I have ADHD but only on bigger words is when I can't read them.

Kelly has been with me since I joined this school, not too long ago, we are best friends and we always do our work together but most of the time I don't do my homework because I know that I have no chance of a good job. She is a small latino girl, she has a lot of hair and a sheepish face. She lives at the school because she doesn't have parents, I think that she is a Greek, like I am. Kelly never told me what her last name is though, which I find odd.

Mom stopped me before I could get out of the door, it is my last day before Christmas vacation and we only have half of a day. She told me that I need to get home right away after school gets out. Apparently I am going to some camp on the east coast? I was never told that I was going before today but it seems like it would be fun so I didn't make an objection. Oh, by the way my name is Cadmael Chronis.
