Hey I’m Sora Lu I’m currently 15 years old. I do go to school but it’s one of the worse ones. I’ve always lived my life without freedom. My stepmother always had something nasty to say to me. My father was always out drunk and about. But since I’ve lived like this for about 10 years I have become use to this. I’ve become use to being hit multiple times with a broom anything in sight my dad could find. Coming back home late and occasionally not coming home at all was usually a thing for my dad.

Outside from my home is no freedom at all. It didn’t make much a difference so I never noticed what surrounds me. I always thought this is how the world was ment to be.

The air around my neighborhood is horrible you could hear gun shots going off about every 5 hours. People stealing from each other and age did not matter where I was raised. If you wanted to make money you would have to go to the city..

Its very hard for people to fend for themselves here. So the city is a no go. But because there’s many criminals and crimes I would have to be on gaurd everyday and everywhere. So through my years of living here I have been through many fightings and shootings. Since I have been one of the few to make it out of more than 20 fights unscathed. I would be a main target but since my athletic ability’s and physical strength is far greater than anybody in my neighborhood. They would bring about 20-30 people to come and fight me. They would use tricks and petty moves.

But none of them still had a chance agiast me...

They would all end up going home hurt.

The only thing that helped me get out of depression and not have depression was music.

Music was basically music to my ears

I would love to sing on my free time.

Always humming down the street or in class.

I wonder if I’m late to class agian?

Teacher ling: “SORA LU! THIS IS YOUR 10TH TIME BEING LATE THIS YEAR! DO YOU NOT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL? YOU UNGRATEFUL-”

“Actually Mr.Ling if you look at the time it says 7:29”

Teacher ling: “Do you want to make me die of anger? Your always fighting, talking back, skipping, and being late..”

Jeez Calm down ling ling..

“Well teacher I wasn’t late”

10 minutes later

Principle office*

Principle: “Sora lu this game of yours needs to stop now. Because I have promised to your late mother I would let you study in this high school until your graduation. Now don’t make this complicated for me or I will have to expell you.”

“Principle I hear there was a important figure coming to visit the slums?”

Principle: “Now don’t refer to our school as the slums sora... And yes and important figure is going to attend a show in our school and with his sister.”

“Oh is it for the singing? Contest? Why’d you call it a show?”

Principle: “it doesn’t matter anyways go back to your class.”

Jeez Princple is a good man for not kicking me out yet.. I’ll probably leave this year anyways.
