Krista rushed to our car, claiming the front seat. Mom would be crazy if she let Krista go in the front seat. She's only a year old, for heaven's sake. 

Nothing more of simply shaking her head. "When you're older, honey." I could already predict how dreadful this summer would be. Staying at home reading comics would be better. 

I play some music, specifically P!ATD. Many people like them, I understand. Ah, my reflection was shown on the window. I had no emotions, nor I had that cut I got from last week, which I tripped on the sidewalk. 

Hey, I don't have jerks bullying me. I don't have an abusive mother. But I have an average life. Do I hate it? Kinda. 

"Anybody need a bathroom break?" Mom inquired. Beth, Krista, and I didn't need a bathroom break. "No." 

"You kids sure?"

"Yes." Our voices clash together. 

"How about snacks? Do-"

"YES!" I stick my bookmark in some novel about an astronaut accidentally entering the wrong ship, controlled by aliens. 

Dumb, right? I agree. Beth always titled me as a dork, getting that book increased her name calling. 

Stepping out of the car, my toes touch the concrete. A sign at the gas station's window caught my view. Singing competition? Pffft, I'm never going to win that. I don't sing, even if I did, I'd sound average. 

I know it, trust me.  Heck, I don't think I'll get involved anyway.
