One slip of paper decided my fate but I don't want to be the person they will form me into, so I'm on the run. I was taught that they were all bad and that no good comes from them, but when I see the fear in her eyes I take it all in. This girl has no intention of hurting anyone if I hadn't shown up she would have left. I don't talk I just stay silent. I chose to be quiet because that is what it was when my parents left me, quiet. I was teased for being a dork, always reading and studying, but that's the reason I survived the bomb.
