I hate people.

But I love fire.

I play with my lighter, letting the flame trail over my finger. It doesn't burn. It feels nice, like warm water.

I let that image play in my head a little. Hey, Maddie's hot.

I smile. I really don't like most people. Adults hate me. It's hard not to notice when your own parents start acting like you're gonna pull a gun on them.

But their weirdness gave me knowledge.

I am a teenager.

I am fire.

Fire is anger, joy, hate, love. It's everything, in a bright, strong flame. Iron and emotions together.

I am fire. I am the energy, the courage, of my team.

I am their leader.

And I will never let them down.
