Disclaimer: First of all, I have to say, I own no one. This is just my story on how Squid's life was before CGL. Secondly, I know alot of people liked my story 'Hey Cinderella', but it just wasn't going anywhere for me. I've been planning this one for a long time, and I know how i want it to go. Okay, I think thats everything.
I didn't wanna do this. Really, I didn't. It all started as a part of Dr. Pendanski's project. He wanted one boy from each tent to tell his story to his roomates. Do I even have a story? Guess who got chosen from our tent? Your's truely, that's who. I didn't wanna do this, I swear to God. It's nobody's business how I lived my life before I came here. I have reason to do what I did. He told us about this stupid 'self-help project' weeks ago, and he told me that I would be the one doing all the talking. The other guys are looking forward to it. Hell, they get the whole day off. No wonder they're so excited. I, on the other hand, have to spill my entire life history to everyone else. No one knows about my life. Sure, they know my Mom's a drunk, and that my Dad went out to buy ice cream and never came back. But, that's all they know. Well, today, they'll learn it all. I wish I could make something up, or say I was sick, but Pendanski know's. He's read my file, and in my weekly sessions with him, he's heard some of it. Now, my whole tent's gonna really see what it's like being Alan Smith. Oh goody.
