Hi my name is Kanna Joenin. I’m 16. I know my first name is strange but I was named after my great great grandmother from my moms side. My mother, Jensin Chan, says that me and my g. g. grandmother had a lot in common and I did not know how much we had in common until yesterday. Me and my g. g. grandmother both can’t speak and I don’t know singe language, I had no desire to learn. So, I carry a marker board or a notebook around to write what I want to say or need to.
My mother from Japan and my dad, Joe Joenin, is from here, The United States. My dad and my mom got deforest when I was very young, but that's been about 13 years. I go from my moms house to my dads house, but luckily both my parents live in the same town called West. One of them lives on the east side and the other one lives on the west side. At my moms house I get treated like if I was normal, but at my dads, he’d would talk for me when people came over and that made me so mad because he’d would say something that I wasn’t thinking. Then I have to make the person like me or dislike again.
School is no different from my dads house. I have people who talk for me and if they say the wrong thing I hit them. I get in trouble alot for doing that. They know I can’t speak, everyone knows. I’ve keep it a secret though all the grades except in 9th and now I’m in 10th so far it has been ok,I guess, but I don’t care that much, just as long as I pass.
“Kanna?!” A woman yelled at me. “Get up. Your going to be late for school!”
`That's my step mom Cairol .` I banged on the wall to show her that I was up. `She ok but she can be a b***h some times.` I got out of bed and chose a black tank top and dark blue pants. Then I went to the kitchen for a glass of orange juice and theirs my step sister, she ‘s in 9th, she takes full advantage of my problem, setting at the table. Tanna, step sister, is wearing a shirt, that's to small for her,and pants with a flower design on it and her backpacks on the table with makeup and papers sticking out.
“Hi, Kanna” Tanna said sarcastically.
`I hate it when she says my name like that.` I thought as I gave her a glare and finished drinking my orange juice.
“Your going to wear that to school?” She said as she looked at what I was wearing. “Your not going to where that because that will destroy me. Now go change.”
`The one thing I forgot and wish to forget is that Tanna is that she’s a controlling, spoiled brat, prep, and she looks like a slut!` I thought as I ******** her off and left the room. I returned to my room to gather up my homework I did yesterday and put it in my black backpack with green and blue flames that I spray painted on it.
