My name is Azuma Akiko. My parents picked my name before I was born and they realized their mistake after. You see I was born with bright pink hair and sky blue eyes. There is a video of the doctor holding me and I open my eyes all the color drains from his face and he looks at my parents “ma'am… sir… your daughter… is a main character. I’m so sorry.” The video ends and the next ones are all of my parents and me as I grow up. They show my first steps and the rattlesnake I almost step on before being saved by my mother, then later one when I was about ten I ran into the road and a car came flying towards me. My father screamed “Azuma!” And I looked at the oncoming car, then the video becomes kinda unbelievable, tiny little ten year old me jumps and leapfrogged off the top of the car landing with a pirouette on top of our family’s trashcan. I learned a dozen new curse words that day. My parents told me what my hair and eyes mean, they mean that I am going to be the center of a story that could and probably will be heartbreaking and sorrowful and painful and exhausting. But I’m trying very hard to avoid starting it and the struggle never ends.

I wake up sweating from yet another terrifying dream, “Azuma just forget it” I whisper to myself. I brace to get up swinging my legs off the bed groaning as my feet touch the cold floor, I walk into the bathroom and splash water on my face it does it’s job waking me up. I reach over to grab my toothbrush, a heavy weight settles in my hand and when I look I’m not surprised to see a long wicked knife, really already it’s too early, and the knife… come on that’s the eighth time in a week okay it’s monday could it just lay off. I drop the knife in my garbage can hearing it land with a satisfying thud and open the cabinet to pick a new toothbrush, I brush then get into the shower. “Please don’t be the watery hand on my ankle I want to actually enjoy a morning shower.” I hollered with joy when I made it out of the shower with nothing happening finally I’d managed to shave my legs without being surprised and slicing my leg or missing huge patches when I freaked out about a water hand grabbing my ankle. I walked down to breakfast, mom was cooking and dad was reading the news. I dropped a kiss on his cheek and dropped into my chair I heard a crackling snapping sound and spun out of my chair the moment before it fell apart. I backed up and heard mom yelp “Azuma no the bacon!” I had strayed too close to the stove and suddenly the bacon grease in the pan ignited in flames, mom snuffed it with the ease of WAY too much practice. Twelve years of grease fires and boil overs had made her the best disaster chef in the world, at least that’s how I thought of her. “Bacon? That’s a big thing I… I’m sorry I make this so hard…” I looked down staring at my shoes. Mom lifted my chin “it’s not every day my sweet daughter goes too sixth grade” my mother was beautiful but she had so many worry lines and gray hairs because of me, but she loved me just the same.
