Author’s Note

Hi,

My Name is Aiden Branss. I’m currently 17 years old and live in a small town in the Midwest. I’ve never written a book before; I honestly haven’t ever written anything in my life. I don’t like reading books, especially in school. The teachers pick the most boring educational books, which most of them are outdated and have racial slurs in them. I think if kids read interesting stuff they would be engaged and actually have motivation to pick up a book. My goal with this book wasn’t to make money or become famous, but instead to hopefully relate to other teenagers who might be struggling or having a hard time with the world and to let them know that, they aren’t alone.

Everything in this book is 100% true! I have changed names to keep identities a secret. Thank you.

Chapter 1

January-March

I think the best place to start this story is the first day of school back from winter vacation. I woke up at 7:00 AM, my eyes were half open and I was so tired. My lips were crusty and I had terrible breath. I felt like garbage, I debated with myself if I should go to school or not. As I was considering taking an extra day off from school, this kid from school called me.

Many kids made fun of this kid for being short. He’s a good guy and a nice human, but he’s 4’10 at 16 years old. It’s kind of his own fault. He called yelling extremely loud.

Short Kid: AIDEN! I SWEAR IF YOU DON’T COME TO SCHOOL, I WILL SERIOUSLY FIGHT YOU!

He has anger issues, so I attempted to calm down the situation.

Me: Dude, you are mad just because your short and can’t get girls!

Yeah, I’m an asshole I know. I felt slightly bad for saying that. but he wanted to fight me so whatever, lol.

Short Kid: SHUT UP!

Short Kid: Come to school dickhead, it’s pizza day at lunch!

Me: Okay I’ll come, but I’m stopping for coffee before I come.

I showed up 45 Minutes late to school. I got in trouble with the attendance lady, but that’s okay. I was late all the time so it was basically my daily routine to coming to school late. She gave me a detention slip for being late, it was lame but I deserved it. I went to my first class and fell asleep within seconds. Then I went to my second period class, and did the same exact thing. It wasn’t until 4th period I was fully awake. This teacher was playing the news from that day. Apparently, there was this virus in Wuhan, China.

Me: Weird, oh well.

I had to use the bathroom. I walked into the bathroom and saw that short kid vaping.

The bathroom was so damn foggy, I’m genuinely surprised he didn’t set off the fire alarm in the bathroom.

Short Kid: Hey Aiden, do you want to hit my pen?

Me: I’m good

Short Kid: You lame, but bro I got detention.

Me: Dude, same.

Me: I was late to school, what did you do?

Short Kid: Oh, my teacher caught me hitting both of my vape pens this morning.

I wish I was making this up, this kid seriously doesn’t make sense. Who brings 2 vapes to school anyway? Don’t smoke its bad for you, trust me.

We both went to detention at the end of that day, and chilled there for about an hour. During that time we did a crossword puzzle. the topic of the puzzle was Presidents of the United States. One of the answers was about Trump. Gross, the orange man!

Me: Short Kid, I hate the president so much!

Short Kid: Dude, I fucking that fucker Donald with all my heart.

During this time
