CHAPTER FOUR
(chapter title – Christopher's POV)

Well, what is there to tell about me? I'm a fourteen year old kid who's into philosophy. That's it. That's my life in a nutshell. Pretty boring, huh? But don't judge me by the way I look – I do have a sense of humor.

I'm very quiet and try to stay away from the goings on. I really don't like a lot of noise and I don't like girls – Sara seems like a little spoiled, whiny brat to me, Jennifer's too much of a geek and Tiffany tries to avoid me at all costs. I do like my aunts Maureen and Joanne, but I don't love them. I've only known them for two years of my life. I do think that my uncles Mark and Roger are so much fun.

Dad adopted me when I was two. Aunt Joanne helped him fill out the adoption papers and shit like that. I don't really like to talk about my life all that much because what is there to tell?

Besides philosophy, I like music – mostly jazz, rap and hip hop. My favorite artists include BB King, Louis Armstrong, Ice-T, The Killz, Red Man, Method Man, The Well Hungarians (because they're Roger's band and they have some really cool music), Forbidden Broadway (they're awesome), Ludachris, Terry Banks (he's okay) and Ray Charles.

Besides listening to music, I like to read – mostly fantasy, sci-fi and action adventure. I really don't care for that romance crap like Jennifer and Tiffany do. Sara's the one that got me hooked on the Harry Potter series. I read the first book and I absolutely loved it. She and I ended up having these discussions about the books – she thinks that Snape isn't all that bad, but I say the dude's evil – he killed Dumbledore. I do like the Star Wars series – those are awesome!

Not a whole lot of people know this about me, except my dad, but I can't stand movies, especially the little kids' movies like Cars or Over the Hedge. I only like a few movies like the Star Wars and the Lord of the Rings series. I really couldn't stand the Harry Potter movies or The Chronicles of Narnia movies. They seemed boring to me. Same with the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Boring with a capital B. The other movies I can't stand are cheesy romantic comedies (like The Brake-Up), action/adventure (like The Da Vinci Code) and remakes (like Freaky Friday or The Parent Trap). I do like horror movies. That's it.

So, as you can see, I am a boring kid and that's why I like to keep to myself.
