I bend the rules where I can, and in return, Dad gives me a little leeway. The rules aren’t really for me they’re for my brother, Shilah. Okay, so that’s more like five rules, but they’re basically the same thing-be invisible. Keep your head down, your grades average, and don’t get too close to people. I can just be me.ĭad has only one rule for us while attending school: don’t draw attention to yourselves, don’t excel in anything.
I won’t have to worry about drawing attention to myself or my brother. I’ll be free from school, free from assignments, and free from having to be cautious and alert for six hours a day five days a week.
It’s technically still spring, but in a few short weeks, I’ll be free. I can smell summer, the scent of freshly cut grass, and rain in the air.
