chapter 2
"The accident was short. It felt like it wasn't even a millisecond long. My real mother, was driving down the street, taking me to school. Of course, I could hear a little back then, I was 5. My mother smiled at me, saying "Today's picture day, gorgeous!" I hate picture day. My ugly hearing aids would stick out. Did I mention that they are yellow? Eek. I wish I would have told her I hated them. I couldn't talk back then, and I never considered doing it, so I guess I could have. My mother was always nice, but I knew she hated having a dumb kid. My sister was normal, why couldn't I be? What was so wrong about me that I ended up ugly, deaf and blind. I didn't understand.
We were stopping, which meant I'd be at school in 2 minutes. I hated my school, like most kids, but mine was a deaf school, and I was the only person who only had one of their 5 senses. I had been expelled from all the normal mainstream schools because I was "too difficult". So anyways, a car, driven by a teenager by the name of Veronica, randomly came speeding through. She hit us from the front, and my mother got the biggest impact. I ended up being "paralyzed" or that's what the doctor says I am. I can move my ankles, my fingers, and toes. Everything else is there, but the feeling just isn't, almost like my "parents".
I was instantly put into a foster home, and I wanted to stay in "Happy Hills Foster Home", with me being "injured" I could spend all day with Mrs.Lacarsie, the librarian. I wasn't quite as deaf, I could hear on and off but I was mostly deaf. When I was adopted, Mrs.Larcarsie gave me her address, but my "mother" had thrown it away. Maybe she thought visiting her was unsafe? I had lived in a foster home for 3 years. Mrs. Larcarsie had fed me, took me on walks, she was like a mother to me. Now suddenly some woman wants me and she can just take me like that? I can't talk, so she just was taking me? I cried, but when I was being taken away I didn't know who was with be and who wasn't with me. I was only 7.
My new "family" had immediately put me in normal school. I hated it there. I always will. People attack me often. They might steal my lunch or something. However, I wasn't really bothered by it until Lena Beldrick had come along.
