1 A NORMAL LIFE (not)

Hello, my name is Micheal and I live a totally normal life. I know that you people might think that it's the logical assumption of everyone that people do lead normal lives but i have a ... unique situation. People always think I don't live a normal live just because I live in a big mansion and my family owns a very influential business that can sway judgement of international governments. The thing is I don't want to live the life of a world leading aristocrat, I do and want to live like a normal person.

I go to a public school, dress accordingly and try (I must admit that I failed) to do things normally but parents make my goal difficult for me to achieve because their goal for me is to be different. They want me to stand out, they want me to be at the top, from birth till the deathbed.

No matter how many times I try to convince them I can bring my own lunch they refuse and say that I need to act like my level in society. Well I say, F*CK YOU PEOPLE I AM A CHILD NOT AN ARISTOCRAT. Of course I never said it before, well maybe I did once. I really don't want to remember that *shudders*, but that is the way that I feel.

That time when I said that to my parents I almost got disowned, honestly I'd rather be disowned then be in a family were normal is impossible, but I'd have no place to live and i doubt they would risk it as I'm an only child, but that only crosses out killing meaning they made my life a living hell. Also not normal sadly. I'm the all important heir to the family so they need to raise me so that I'll be a suitable person to take over the business, my life as planned out since they found out i was a boy. Yes, that's right, before i was even born.

When I go to school I have to get driven by my personal chauffeur that my parents wanted me to hire, the only reason I didn't fire him was because he needed to money to support his family. I even have to go in the latest car of Porsche as currently they are the only ones that sell cars capable of flight. They exploited my weak spot of feeling immense pity, they knew I'd feel to much pity for the man to be able to fire him on the spot and leave him unemployed. I know I'm way to soft hearted to fit in with the government serious adult political people. Not only do I know that, they know that too, yet they insist I'll get better with age and still have me as the heir.

When I eat lunch, the chefs come in and give me my lunch personally and set it out like a restaurant and the reason I can't fire them is because they are the family chefs so only my parents have the authority to fire them. When they first did that, I was so embarrassed, I wanted a good normal impression as the new student. I felt like my life was ruined because of them, there were rumours that I wanted to flaunt my power and that I'm an arrogant high up. Then there are the girls... the girls *shudders*no matter what school it was they always tried to talk to me in a weird way, for gods sake, it's really creepy. Then there is the way they interact with me, they're going to give me anxiety with the way they look at me and try to stalk me. You heard me, stalk, they're always watching me and following me around, pretty sure one of them followed me to the boys toilets once. They always try to hook up with me and the only only thing they seem to be interested in is my looks and high standing. To be honest, their all in it for the money, I haven't had a single friend since. The girls want my money and the guys hate me for having money.

I was always told that a good looking boy, I have sharp cheekbones, lean body and stand at about 175cm. My personality also kind of stands out as well, not as the normal cliche bad boy, but the normal cliche good boy even if I sometimes swear. I always do my work, I pay attention in class and I take homework seriously. Even if while I'm doing all that I have the same neutral expression on.

I can't even wear the normal school uniform, my parents brought me an 'upgraded' version so that people would know not to mess with me and to apparently to also protect me from the harsh reality of school. The thing is I'm not that naive to just believe everything my parents say just because I was knew to the concept of learning in a group. It's just another lie that I've been fed so that I would become a suitable heir for the family. That all they seem to care about, the family reputation, sigh.

I want to lead a normal life though, not one of a high standing person driven by politics. I want nothing to do with those bastards even if their ways have been hammered into my head since I was born. I started this rebellions against my parents when I was about 5, one of the reasons was because I wanted to be like the other kids, I wanted to go to kindergarten just like all the other kids my age. Before I was home-schooled from since I could crawl, and was taught at home by the best teachers my parents could find, making me a modern genius, it might sound cool but its not, trust me. Sure I can answer questions that baffled mathematicians, sure i can brag about mastering trigonometry at the age of 4 but this give you attention, people start following you and getting into your personal life. Cameras starts to follow you around and annoying people come up trying to shove microphones in my face.

I was never let out of the house unless it was for a social or outing, so I snuck out and found other children my age. They went to a place called pre-school and I really wanted to go too. But when I said that to them they said that they were going to be big kids and where going to kindergarten, I wanted to be a big kid too so I stormed back to the house and told my parents that I wanted to go to kindergarten, they of course declined and said that I already learned the things they teach when I was in the crib. They called my new friends low standing and I was really angry at them so I dropped all my grades and pretended to be stupid also to add to that, disobedient. After that there were some, you could call, technical difficulties but I got through it. They eventually let me attend a school but by that time I knew the different types of schools so they let me into a public one after more nagging and refusing to do things they ask of me. They refuse to let up on the other stuff though and said it I resist then they'd pull me out of school.

I got pulled out 3 times already but managed to transfer and attend a different school because of negotiations with my parents. I won all the negotiations and my parents weren't one to let that go past unnoticed so they put me in some of their meetings. Then the same old, same old threaten and blackmail is I don't go. I'm transferring again but this time I was prepared. I comprised with my parents and said that they could send me to a private school of my choosing but they have to stop all the upper class things, meaning I can walk to school by myself, eat lunch that I brought from home, wear the normal school uniform and be a normal student. I won't have to take a flying car to school, YES!! I can finally make some friends and try to up my rank by my own accord that my parents had nothing to do with. They didn't agree until I let up on the my choice of private school. In the end I still won, I think.

This time I won't be embarrassed, I won't have to act like an upper class either. I'll have a good shot at actually leading a normal life for the next four years like I have always dreamed of. If things go well I might have a normal life for the rest of my life. Yes!! I'm a genius!
