Tilly James

My name is Tilly James, I'm an 8 and I live in a perfect society. I have a younger brother Sam who is a 2, and there are my parents, mom and dad. Before my younger brother Sam, I had a older brother John he was an 11 but he died the day I turned to a 7. I was sad but not so sad only because he wasn't even my real brother. My mom on the other hand was devastated she stayed in her room for 2 weeks straight, I always brought her hot coco to keep her warm. There was a long ceremony John the whole town came and stood around him with me, mom, dad, and little Sam.
I have a best friend who is my neighbor, her name is Saylor she is also an eight. She haas an older brother Jacob who is 19 he is married with 2 kids. Her grandma is my grandma but which is really cool but also weird because we are best friends. My grandfather has been released which is a really neat thing but also sort of sad knowing I may never see him again. Dad said that may happen to grandma soon as well, so me and Saylor are trying to spend as much time as we can with her. I love my Grandma sometimes I love her more then Mom, but not always.
Dad tells me I'm as pretty as a princess, I have long blond hair, blue eyes, (just like everybody else) and I'm pretty short. Mom tells me I look like John when he was an eight. John had blond hair and blue eyes just like me. Sam has blond hair and blue hair, just like me and John as well, it is no coincidence.
My mom works at the nurturing center and my dad works with mom at the birthing center. I have to go to an after school program because they work late lots of nights. I don't really like going to the after school program because you do really childish things that I don't like any more, but sometimes grandma will pick me up early and we go get ice creams, boy do I love grandma. This is my life and I love it, but the one thing I would wish for is to not look like everyone else.
