A bit of a time skip. It's October 2000.
EmPOV
I sat in class and watched as the teacher was teaching us fractions. I stared at the work book on my desk and scratched my head. The directions said to make a fraction of how many of the circles were red. There were no red circles that I could see. They all looked the same. Everything looked the same.
To this point I still wasn't sure what red looked like. I had trouble with colours. I couldn't tell them apart. It was so frustrating.
The teachers always noticed me struggling. Today was different. The teacher picked up a phone.
A women knocked on the door and pointed to me. "Emmett, could you follow Ms. Cohan?" the teacher said smiling.
I stood up and followed the lady down the hall into an office.
She asked me to sit at a big table with pages of circles. And the circles were made out of tiny dots. She picked one of the pictures up and asked me to tell her what I saw.
It was a circle made out of dots. I told her. She held up another.
More dots.
After a few minutes she sighed and picked up her phone. I could hear her talking to someone but I couldn't tell what she was saying.
She sat back down and began showing me more circles. After a while my parents came in and they sat down.
"Hello Mr and Mrs. Cullen. It's so nice to see you. I was doing a test with Emmett and I wanted to show you what happened and tell you about my results," she said picking up and card with one of those circles.
"Tell me what you see Emmett," she said softly. I rolled my eyes.
"A circle made out of dots! They are all circles made out of dots. And they will alway be circles made out of dots!" I exclaimed, finally tired of this game.
Mom and dad looked at each other. Mom looked me and held up a card.
"Don't you see a picture on this card?" mom said.
I shook I head and said, "no, just a circle".
Mom looked at the woman, her eyes were worried.
"Mrs. Cullen, there's no need to be worried. I am pretty sure your son is color blind. Its not a big deal at all. it just means he will have to pay closer attention in life. Color blindness is extremely common and he can live just as normally as everyone else".
"Can I still play video games?" I asked.
She nodded and said, "Yes, you can do whatever you normally do".
I smiled. I could still play my video games.
Another chapter. yay!
