Unknown Point of View Growing up,I didn't really have a great childhood. I spent most of my time hiding from my cousin and his friends to avoid being beaten up.My cousin was always the center of attention he always got what he wanted or else you would have to face him having a tantrum. So,basically my Aunt and Uncle spoils he as if he is a prince.Yeah a very big and round prince alright! Anyway then there's me,the one that they choose to ignore and pretend that doesn't even exist. To them I just a waste of space. I know that they think I am because one I don't even have a proper bedroom I literally sleep under the cupboard of the stairs,and two they only remembered my birthday once and all I got was a old and worn out pair of my uncles socks and a coat hanger for my 6th birthday. And lastly I don't even have my own clothes I wear hand me downs from my cousin and there always big and loose on me so I have to wear a belt just to keep the pants on my waist. I guess I have you thinking now why in the world are they doing all of this to a 6 year old I'll tell you this and that is something that I'm sure of and why they do it because well... I guess i don't know because there nothing to wired about me. Now get this both my Aunt and Uncle are scared of Skyler because she has powers and one bad temper because of this sometimes we can get what we want or do whatever we want because my Aunt and Uncle are scared of what Skyler would do if they said no or tried to stop her. The eventually found out what happened if they told her no or tried to stop her. Skyler has always tried to protect me from everything and then nags me for not being able to stand up for myself. So,one day she decided to teach me martial arts and if you ask me how she knows martial arts it's because she a military kid. Growing up I only had three other friends other than Skyler one was my neighbor Max,Ma'Kayla who lived down the street,and my last friend who also lived down the street Jerry. Everything was fine until one day Skyler left me a note saying that she ran away and that one day she would come back for me once she had a enough money for us to live off of. Then I was struck with another sad thing that was about to happen in my life both Ma'Kayla and Jerry were going to move away and I'm not talking about moving to another city,but the both moved to the US leaving me with my only friend left Max. Growing up with Max and his two big sisters and one younger sister. Their names were Emma,India,and Paige. We all ended up becoming very close with each other that most of the time when I came over to Max's house he always had chores to do so he couldn't play with me. So I'd offer to help me out with his chores at first he helped with the chores but after a while he didn't even help with the chores at all I started to do them all nor start part of them on his own. Soon Max's Mom found out about it and got mad at him about having his friend do all of his chores for him while he was sitting on his butt doing nothing but watching TV and playing video games. I told her that I'm used to doing chores and that I wanted to help so she went a bit easy on him with a punishment. Next,thing you know I love doing chores at Max's house because I'm kinda not forced to do them or i might not eat or be locked up in my little cupboard again. I had gotten so close with Max's family that sometimes that would invite me over for dinner and their were days where I would make dinner for them and they honestly loved my cooking. I guess all the times my Aunt would force me to make breakfast all those years finally paid off. I still remember when Max's Dad Luke tried to get Max to help him fix up an old car that they had in the garage,but never got around to fixing it back up. So,I volunteered to help him fix it back up and he agreed. Around that time is when the Girl Scouts came around to sell their cookies. And let me tell you now that Max is girl crazy. So, one day I was helping Mr.Luke install a new engine and then all we would have left to do is change the wheels,paint the car,get the windows changed,and finally redesign the inside of the car. We were working away at installing the new engine while Max was laying down on the mowed lawn I had mowed yesterday sunbathing that we didn't even noticed the Girl Scouts approaching us,but Max's K9 senses kicked in and popped up like a spring ran over to us pretending to be working on the car with us. When the Scouts had made their way over to us finally one of the Scout's called Max's name. That boy turns around and says "Oh, hey Victoria what do you need?" she says "I'm selling cookies" and the continue talking for a while before one of the Scouts comes up to me and says "Hi,Harry" and your boy was like "Umm...Hi" and finished up on installing the new engine after that.
