Chapter 1

The pounding rain woke me up.

It was pitch black but lightning struck many times again and again. I glanced at my clock. It was three in the morning. My insomnia was getting worse.
Mom was peacefully sleeping in their room as far as I could tell. I finally slipped out of my bed and went to my window seat. I loved hearing the thunder and seeing the lightning, rain, and dark sky.
I am different. I admit it. I am not unique. Just different. I felt like climbing out the window and let the rain fall on me that second. My mom tries to help me feel better about myself but ot doesn't work.
I went back to my bed only to toss and turn until dawn. When I awoke it was already past seven. I could smell sausages cooking. That and the fact that the sky was still gray helped me get up faster. I wisked into the kitchen said good morning to mom, scarfed do my sausages and my glass of cranberry juice then siad goodbye to mom. I walked to every morning, rain or shine. Though I do prefer rain. I finally made it to West Side Prep. I walked inside, ready for a day filled with chaos.
