"Megara Robertson." Mrs. Winkle said aloud in her crusty British accent. I cringed, getting up and going to the front of the class to deliver my presentation on one of the many galaxies in the world. The board switched from white to a 3D blueprint projection of my assignment. We created them in these things called 'Voids', which store our projects in an alternate dimension model. When we open them, they project as 3D models. If you couldn't tell, I'm a big fan of modern technology. I started explaining the facts about a recently discovered galaxy called 'Achendrois Crystamedortis'. When I was finished, I played a 3D animation that could theoretically be synced to the 4D dimension mode too. Mrs. Winkle seemed quite impressed. I went and sat back down, hoping everyone would forget about what just happened. Sure, I wanted a good grade in my Universe class, but I didn't want to drag /this/ much attention. The class seemed impressed. I needed to work harder to blend in. I never liked being the spotlight. I much preferred the shadow. No one had to notice or make a big deal about anything. No drama. No extra problems. This is why I don't have friends. It's easier for everyone. Even my own family likes to pretend I don't exist. The only thing we share is one last name. They're all so bright and cheery that it hurts. The idea that they're happier when they ignore me. To them, I'm just a little stormcloud in the same category as bundles of sunshine. Maybe if they cared, then I wouldn't feel so neglected. Maybe if they cared, then I'd put a second thought into the idea of life. Maybe--I'm coming up with too many maybes. What's done is done, and I can't change it. That's why I'm looking forward to the Nameswap. It's an event where we can give away and trade names with people, which is fun for some. It happens every year, but you have to be atleast fifteen to go, which I am. What most people like to pretend doesn't exist is the option that you can discard your name to become nameless and someone else can take it if found. And that's what I plan to do. I'm going to go to the Nameswap and discard my name for good.
Inspo from a writing prompt I saw online :D
