Each morning when I wake up I feel like everything is going to be okay. I feel like as long and the sun is rising in the morning and setting in the evening then the world will be okay.
But reality hurts.
I have spent the entire summer in complete solitude to keep away from all the bad things. Whenever school comes around I feel helpless.
I hate when people stare.
They don't stare at me, they stare at Jacob who clings on to me every time there are people, who takes his pants off when even a single drop of water touches them, who gets so scared when people are late because he thinks that they are never coming. If you didn't know already Jacob is my little brother who just so happens to have autism.
People stare at him. They make fun of him. I stand up for him. I get bullied because they think I have "mental problems too."
I have no friends.
I need to get mental help.
No one likes me.
Those are all the things I hear on a daily at school. Not to mention all the things they say about my brother.
I am more ready than ever for the upcoming year because I'm just starting high school which means no one will know me. I will finally be invisible. I won't have Jacob weighing me down this year and, hey, I might even make a friend or two!
Okay Catherine let's not get cocky.
