Cut

Chapter 1

         Let's start from the beginning. My name is Kai. I live in the circle, a huge dome, built to protect us from the toxic, outside world. Here we receive a band when we're born, this band is ment to show what our gift is. Throughout our lives we receive new bands whenever we do something right ,and  get one cut whenever we do something wrong. My band is black, let's just say no one knows what that means an neither do I. There's a lot of rumors that go around some good, some bad.

      I live with my mom and dad, but they hardly know I exist. My older sister is the 'star' of the family she's always doing something right to everyone but me she's practically perfect. My parents just had to have another kid, just like every other family in the circle. Two kids that aren't always wanted, but two. I defineatly don't think I was wanted.

      My best friend Angel disappeared a couple years ago. She had a black band too, that's how we became friends. We were both bullied from a young age, cause everyone had their talent but we didn't. Angel was my rock so when she disappeared, my whole life fell apart. No one knows where she went or what happened, just that she disappeared one day and never came back. I'm the only person who understood her because she was kinda weird to other people, but I love her and miss her.

    I'm 15, so I have to start a job this summer. However, I don't know what I'm gonna do because I don't have a talent. I'll probably wined up working in waste, having to picking up trash, or some shit. Though it's not like I'd be surprised seeing as I'm not really good at anything. Back in grade school, teachers tried to find me a talent, but nothing ever stuck. It's not for lack of trying though my whole life I've been trying to find my purpose ,and to spit being 15 I still don't know what it is.
