Caren Flutterbird {District 6}

My skin is as dark as chocolate. My eyes sparkle brown with intelligence. I am as thin and as taut as a ballerina. I stand at a large 5 foot 9. I have glasses which fit my face snugly.

I am the one singled out at school. Everyone calls me nerd as I walk by. Often at school you can see tears dripping down my face as I get another A plus. After school I go to my Mom's work place where I help her design new ways of going faster. With my mother is where I always feel safe.

If you see me after one hard day at school. You would see her singing my favorite song to me as she brushes my light brown hair.

Go to sleep little skylark.
Drift down through the night
In your biplane of silver and sighs,
Slip under the light,
come down from heights.
For your mother is singing for you.
Go to sleep little skylark, do.

Everyone one calls me nerdy and smart. I try to keep my face emotionless while I get bullied, but that never works. I can never hide a secret or emotions. At home or at my mother's work is where I finally let the tears out. I hate tears.

Everyone is true when they say I'm smart though. When I get home in my free time I like to build with extra materials around the house. Tissues, pipe cleaners, and other stuff to. I also know 2987 digits of pi!

The only place where I feel actually and truly comfortable is at my mother's side. I can be harassed easily anywhere else. I am not ashamed of being bullied until it happens. My mother says that the bully because they are jealous. When they do bully though I still break out in tears.

I have no other family members outside of me and my mom. Before I could have any brothers or sisters my father ran off with another woman. I was really little when it happened. Sometimes when I was smaller my mother used to say that I had no father and that I was an angels daughter.

As I grew up I found out that I had my mothers intelligence. I got 100 percent in every single year of school! Getting 100 percent was not always a good thing. As we grew up more and our emotions became different I started to get bullied. By my 7th grade it was a real problem.

I learned many things which I think would help me in life in school. In 6th grade I learned how to build structures with as little flaws as possible. In 7th and 8th grade I learned about electricity and magnetism. I now know how to do a bunch of stuff now as I'm 15. I have led a hard life and overall not entirely enjoyable.
