Light as A feather, Stiff as A board.

I want my life back.
Third Grade 2008

I wanted to play with the other kids, but the parents wouldn't let me. I didn't know why, maybe it was because I'm special, like my mommy had said, and the parents were trying to make sure I keep my specialness? They were just worried about me, their nice.

" Retarded. " I had heard one of the mommy's say before she had pulled her kid back. Was that like my super hero name? ' Retarded Coming to the rescue ' I smiled to myself, now I'm a superhero, I'm going to make all the kids jealous.

It was recess time, where they would let me play with the other children without their Mommy's and Daddy's. It was my favorite part of the day.

" Yeon Joo, wanna play last man standing with us? " I snapped my head towards a boy that seemed recognizable. D-do Kyung Soo I think. without giving it a second though I shook my head like there was no tomorrow and ran over to the group of other kids who had just laughed.
What was so funny was the only thing that had crossed my mind.

" Good, now that we have enough players, lemme explain the game. Last man standing is when you take a player to start throwing rocks and then everyone starts throwing them, who ever is standing while the rest of us are knocked out, that person wins." They all smiled at me and me being a nice person smiled back.

I really shouldn't have.
