Chapter 1
hi I’m Lizzie I go to PCS high school with my friends (Max, lilac, Kenzie, and Lilia) I’m 16 year old and I live in Toronto Canada with my adopted mom (Kate) and my adopted dad (Tyler) and my real two twin brothers (Aiden and Austin) I live near a flower field and my favorites are blue iris's I go to a basic school but I’m not that popular, but very rich and I love my two besties Layla and Lilia the L trio is what we call our selves because our name all start with an L, anyway I also have a normal day to day plan for every day but I do not have a plan for weekends I mostly just watch tv all day or have a sleepover with Kenzie, Lila, and max but Layla’s mom doesn’t let her sleepover so normally she just hangs out with us until 4:30 then her mom picks her up
but on school days I go for a run then I go to school so I as runing home as normal from my morning runs when an older boy bumps into me, he apologizing for his behavior as he walks away. As soon as he turns his back on me he disappears into the crowd. I don’t know why but something about this interaction unsettles me but I pull myself from the crowd and I got back home to my house and grab some clothes I put them on before heading out to school and eventually I left for school but I have ADHD so I have to touch the front door of my big white mansion every time I leave for school and my teachers know this and they try their best to make it less stressful and more exciting when they can help me learn, if a problem comes from mostly being around people who talk too much then they’re just going to be distracting and annoying and honestly because between every class I have to count at least 20 girls and 20 boys if I don’t i can’t go to class, and sometimes if I don’t count the students who walk past me when I’m doing math or geography my brain short circuits and I don’t really notice that I’m counting until I see another student walking past me while my brain is still fried and my mind is focused on numbers my classmates like to tease me
for being distracted so often but I always tell them that my brain is fine it happens everyday when I’m around so many people at once mostly because i cant count them all, I never said that it happened more than once but I think it does it’s probably part of my adhd I’m actually only diagnosed with ADHD in first grade cause my parents were so stressed about finding a good doctor to take care of me that they forgot to get proper diagnosis records and even though I am now officially diagnosed with ADHD I’ve tried my hardest to get better with medication I don’t drink alcohol and I eat well so I don’ t stress too much about eating healthy and most importantly I don’t ever do drugs or use any of those things unless absolutely necessary. Most kids my age have problems with ADHD or depression but I’m one of the lucky ones who has been treated for it, even my dad is happy about my diagnosis so I have hope that I will get better. My parents are so proud of how much progress I’ve made even though most kids my age would have done a lot worse
my birth mom had an anxiety disorder called bipolar disorder when I was born which caused her to develop a severe fear of people that weren’t family and I didn’t understand her needs that cause she isolated herself and to shut down and shut everyone else out including my birth dad so when my mom found out I’m not perfect too and I have ADHD they left me at school at the end of the day my math teacher waited for them but they never showed up so she dropped me off at the house and everything was gone including my parents so she adopts me along with my twin brothers but they were already in 5th grade and for a while they hated me because they alway said i was a freak that made are parents leave us which made me always cry and when i was in te 3rd grade they came up to me and said "mom birthed a freak and then isolated herself so she wouldnt have to see you" and i snaped "SHUT UP YOU I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT THEY COULD HAVE TOOK YOU GUYS TO BUT THEY DIDNT SO ITS NOT JUST ME WHO MADE THEM LEAVE" and since then they never said anything like that again and but when I was in 4th grade i forgive them and I started being closer to them.
