Day 90, Prompt: Children - 5 Minute Freewrite Challange

As I child I think I was pretty normal. I can't really define normal but whatever it is I think I was that. I tried hard to fit in with the wrong people and made terrible choices, but I didn't know any better.

We moved to Australia when I was five and it wasn't hard to make friends at that age. Everybody was friends with everybody. We were just being children.

It's funny though, I have this one memory where we were told to write a story. I wasn't very good at any of the other classes but I loved writing stories.

I wrote this amazing story on trolls and magical creatures, that I was very proud of. A day or so after we handed our stories into the teacher, he called my 'best friend' and I up to his desk.

Our stories were pretty much the same. I explained that my story was my own but he didn't believe me because I was terrible at every other class, but my friend was amazing at everything. So, I got told off for something that wasn't my doing. I just remember feeling so betrayed, espically because she was taking the credit for my work!

As a child I made many mistakes and some of them I regret deeply. Unfortunately for us we can't go back and change those little things we did, we just have to move on and leave the past in the past.
