Beep … beep … beep
‘Here we go again’ I thought as I pressed the snooze button for what felt like the millionth time in my whole life. My whole miserable life that is.”Nico, are you awake? You have to get ready to leave for that camp,” oh right that stupid camp. Earlier that month dad had looked up on summer activity’s for me because he thought that I was “ severely depressed” whatever that means. Anyways he found this ridiculous camp in New York where a bunch of kids go every summer apparently. Of course I’m not too fond of this idea but I don’t have a choice anymore.
”Yeah I’m up,” I yelled back to my dad. I can already predict this whole summer is going to be hell. I got out of my bed and headed to my bathroom down the hall. I already packed the night before normal stuff like clothes, hygiene products, and some… other things I might need. I brushed my teeth, showered, and did my hair all while avoiding the mirror. I can’t stand to look at myself anymore. I cant stand to be in this body. It’s like a nightmare you can’t escape and it’s just keeps going on and on until it drives you to madness. I hate the body I was born with at least one of my problems would be solved if I was born a real boy.
I went back to my room grabbed my bags and headed out the door to my dad’s car in the driveway. He had already been waiting for about ten minutes. I know because he had complained as soon as I put my hand on the cars hot metal. And as soon as I put my ass on the seat we were off. I dosed off on my way to the new hell I have to call home for a whole two and a half months
Nico! Nico wake up and get out my-
“-Car.” I was shaken awake by my dad out of my sweet, sweet slumber. I hop out the car and my dad handed me my bag. “ Nico, are you okay? You swayed a little when you got out the car, you need water?” Jeez he can be so overbearing at times. No scratch that all the time. Ever since mo—the accident happened he’s been like that . He says he’s worried, that I need help, that I’m to skinny. Which I don’t get because I’m so obviously big enough and I don’t understand why he makes such a big deal about it, I’m fine. I’m fine.
“I’m fine dad,” I assure him. Which I am and I’ve told him before. I just don’t see the problem.
”Ok just checking Nico. You know I care for you, right?” He says this with a concerned face and worry. I nod and walk away from the car seeing their kids do the same, figuring I could blend in like usual. “ Bye Nico, see you in a few months,” my dad waves. I wave back but before I can turn back around I’m almost knocked to the ground by some kid with black hair and tanned skin running from who I’m guessing is his mom. He was screaming and he was kinda annoying. I hope I don’t get the same cabin as him. I sigh.
This is going to be one tiresome summer break.
