I'm in a family of losers.

My parents fight, which is embarrassing. All anyone wants is a normal nuclear family, and what did I get? Shenanigans and mental anguish. I'm too smart for the people who live in this house. Patty? Gloomy and sad like a rain puddle. She spends a lot of time watching movies, which is fine, but at school she's a loser so I can't be seen with her. Sorry. We can watch movies together though, if it's a documentary.

I have to hide the fact that I'm into reading encyclopedias for fun and watching educational shows. People get bullied for that, you know? I won't let that happen to me. I lie about my hobbies and pretend to like what my friends like. And I DON'T let myself be seen with Patty or Poppy.

Poppy is spoiled and stupid. Need I say more.

I'm the youngest, so I get a lot of mother's 'goo goo gaga' affection, and father's "I finally have a son' affection.' It can be overbearing. I prefer to spend time alone when I'm at home. I prefer to spend time alone in general, but I have to put on an extroverted façade when I go outside. I'm very aware that it makes me fake. I'm very aware that I don't care. I know I'm not the only one in this family who lies, I just don't know what the others are lying about.

I don't think I want to know.
