Laughing Stock
By : Tomi Y.
Being different isn't always easy. Although you are very unique and stand out from a group of people, it backfires. You turn into some kind of laughing stock. This is obviously where you get laughed at for being so different. Take it from me I know.
My life wasn't easy, and it didn't get any easier when I started school. Yeah sure, it was cute when I was little but as got into high school, I was known as a freak. A silver haired freak. My sister has left home with a job of her own, and happily married. My parents on the other had died when I was just around 10. We were left to take care of ourselves. Of course we ended up staying with our aunt. But we didn't stay for too long. She was always drunk, and was beating us almost everyday. Her depression kinda gets to her. Instead of her taking of us, we took care of her. After a couple of very long moths that turned into long years we left to live in our own apartment across town.
That's when it started. Taru of course being the older sister, already finished school and is working to keep food on our table.
Starting high school, was pretty normal, but just as I found it comforting, people started to notice. First it was the fact that I was a poor orphan girl who only manages to go to school, because of her sister. Then it was the hair. You can say it ran in my family and I liked it. Being the same as everybody else just kinda freaks me out a bit. As much as that does freak me out, people just don't agree with the fact that I'm just too different. They began to mock me. Calling me a freak, an outcast. Of course it didn't bother me at all at first. I liked being different. I only took it all seriously when he started calling me a freak. You can say he was like a high school crush. He was just as different as me, but I guess his ranking just makes that a whole lot different. He was with the "in crowd". I'm stuck for the rest of life knowing that I'm not any good. That I'm so kind of freak that was born in hell. I was the laughing stock of the school. Soon even the teachers saw me differently. I'm just a pathetic girl, who doesn't know anything...
