"This is Spanish."

"This is sign language."

'This is Thoughts.'

Carlos couldn't believe his ears, he didn't want to either, his parents called him a mistake, in both english and spanish, both of which he understood, (also could read and speak in as well as several others) not that he would tell his parents. They would call him worse names than they did now, only to act as completely normal and loving parents when someone was around them, and Carlos did to.

His parental figures seemed overjoyed, and he didn't understand why. He knew his mother was pregnant, and knew that it meant that she would have a baby. But he could not bring himself to be happy, he acted as if was, but he wasn't.

"I can't wait for my little baby to be born!" his mother said with happiness, then scowled "The stupid mistake better not try anything!"

'Fine,' Carlos thought, 'I'll stay as far away as I can.'

And that he did, he spent most his time in the rather large library in town, or scouting out the large wooded area not far from home, to exercise both his mind and body. He was glad his baby brother was born, it left him with more time to himself, and if he got sick, he was sent to his Grandmother's until he got better. The only downside is if he got home a little too late from his daily pursuits he would get in trouble, it didn't mean just going to bed without dessert, he didn't get one anyway, he got no meals for two days, since he was always given smaller portions, he tried to make these days few and far between… but they happened at least twice a month, he was only a little kid.

And as time went on, his parents stopped paying attention to if he was home on time or at all even, strangely enough, he didn't care.
