                                              -TAYLOR SWIFT, 'YOU BELONG WITH ME'

  Only pretty girls get chosen. Well maybe not necessarily "pretty" girls.  Popular girls. Blonde and beautiful with long legs and unblemished skin. Girls who are the perfect height and get invited to parties. Oh, and also pretty girls dont have autism and dont need hearing aids. 

  I, however am not one of those girls. Instead of parties, I'm at a coffee shop or bookstore or at home. I'd rather read or scroll Pinterest or watch YouTube or write. I've also never been invited to a party so there's that . Instead of blonde hair, I have dark brown very forgettable hair. Instead of unblemished skin, I have acne, which I dont really care about and instead of tan skin I have light sickly skin with super unnoticeable olive undertones. The only thing remotely pretty about me are my eyes. Grayish ringed with a marshy green rim in the middle and some days they look blue.

   I sigh as I gaze into the mirror. Today is my first day of public school. Why at 17, almost 18,  am I  going to public school for the first time? You see I went to private school then when my dad died my mom couldnt work or pay for my schooling so now here i am waiting for my mom to call me down stairs. 

  I grab my bag and run downstairs.

  "Hi! Are you ready for school?" my mom says. 

  "Yes." is all I say. I can't remember when things got so awkward but they did and now I'm the substitute parent when one of my siblings ask something of my mom she tells the to go ask me. And its not like I'm mad but its also super awkward. 

  "BRIAR! BRIAR! I'm going to school isn't that awesome!" my little brother, Sulley says. 

 "Yeah are you super excited?" I say knowing darn well that hes ecstatic.

  "Well duh Im happy. Its the first day of school!" 

 " Oh Sulley, you silly goose."

 "Briar, the bus is here. You better get moving." my mom says. 

 "Bye mom! Bye Sulley! Bye Belle!" I yell back at them and with that I run out the door. 

                                                                AUTHORS NOTE
