As if Life couldn't be more of a bitch. It nags and lies, hides secrets and cheats you. It screws you over many times and forces you to judge all what you have.

I luckily know what I'm doing. I know what Life is like and how to beat it up and win. You'd probably never even get it if you wanted, if you never knew how to beat Life.

GAWD I hate Life. Stupidest and easiest board game on the planet. After Jace and Oliver got here, we sat down and ate. Afterwards, we decided on playing some board games. Since I have three sisters, my parents, and Jace and Ollie, we had to make two groups. Of course, Elise and I got Jace and Ollie. We chose Cards Against Humanity (SO FUNNY!!), instead of usually playing Life, and began playing. My mom bought the christmas addition for me, and I heard there was a card hidden in the BOX and not under the tray. I peeled open all of the sides until I found the card and placed it with the others. We hadn't opened the CE CAH cards before, so... yeah.

Jace was placing his cards on 'What does Santa give naughty children for christmas instead of coal?' card. And you know what card he just had to pick? The Biggest Blackest Dick card. The Christmas Edition card! And he won, of course.

Stupid card. Shoulda never got it out. Hmph.

They looked at me for a few moments, then bursted out in laughter. I'm the only one without a black card. Fucking fuck fucks fucking fucks! And they have three cards each.

GAWD. Spare me this stupidity! We finally got to a better black card, and with just my luck I grabbed a funny card. I kept my poker face on and hid the card in my deck. When it came down to placing our cards, I gently laid it out with a sad look on my face, releasing a saddened aura. What? I'm playing with werewolves, they'd smell the fakeness of my 'mask'. Like hell I'm getting away with it.

It was Ollie's turn, and the other three had small smiles trying to get on their faces or hiding behind a fan of cards (making them look stupid. Extremely stupid). When all our cards were placed and Ollie flipped them over and saw my card, I couldn't help but release the laugh I had bottled up. Everyone else soon joined, gaining goofy looks from my parents ((HEY LOOK! Alliteration!!! Try saying it ten times fast!!!)).

"Alright, who's card is this?" Ollie asked finally regaining his breath. I happily raised my hand and their faces were smeared in shock. They began clapping and cheering for me for getting my first black card.

We continued to play.

After the game - which I won, by the way - we all had put up the board games and began watching a movie. The night progressed on and Divergent finished fast - I was busy staring at my mate. Ah. Mate. That word just set off a weird movement inside me and I couldn't help but smile gleefully at it.

"Well, it seems as if we have to go. See you guys on New Year's Eve!" Jace said walking out.

"We're having a little party then, self-invites only," he winked and shut the door behind him. I locked the deadbolt and knob, then reached up to the chain and put that up. I turned on the house alarm - little pads surrounded the house on the windows so we could open them without setting off alarms. A special little feature my dad created for us. He was a geeky technician, and I was happy he was, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to watch the stars at night and bird watch when I was bored. I loved looking at the feathers and drawing the wings and beaks. The birds have always been nice and stayed still until I didn't need them or they needed to prune their feathers. I loathed how they could fly.

Every day, for nights on end, I wish I can fly. I've always loved this feeling, and sometimes I just got this really strong and natural urge to soar into the wind and fly like an eagle with a bird's eye view of the haunted world below. It frightened me to think that I'd fall, because all I felt was the need to rise, the urge to fly, the gut feeling that I could actually do it. I really did. And I truly loved it.

A/N: Sorry for a short chapter. Truly. I have been busy with High School and home life and even trying to sort out if I was Asexual or not. Still trying. I just hope I'd be able to figure out what the hell is going on and move along to a life I'm trying to create.

I want to be a Youtuber so bad, because I honestly just want to share my opinions and thoughts about the world and how my life is going. Onision complained once about how wrong it was to share his life, but I think it's okay. If it helps him, I don't care. I actually feel bad for him. People bully him, and call him ugly, but he's actually beautiful. Weird, I know, for me to call a MAN beautiful, but you'd say the same thing. I really do think so.

Okay,
