Hey! My name is Kiara and I’m from Ohio. My childhood was right out of a Psychology textbook. My parents disappeared one night, leaving my brother and me begging for scraps at restaurants, until we were thrown into an orphanage.

But it was at our prestigious boarding school where the greatest success of my life happened. I heard a scream one morning and rushed into the hallway. Standing there, absolutely furious and with mascara running down her face despite it being 7AM, was my arch nemesis.

“YOU!” Her green finger pointed right at me, and I wasn’t gonna hide my blame. I was proud of my latest invention. You’re curious to know what I did, right? Well, keep watching and I’ll tell you all about it!

My brother and I lived in an orphanage for a few years. It was awful! We were older than most kids there so the workers ignored us. Sometimes we had to steal baby food from the kitchen, or we wouldn’t eat all day! But out of the blue, a man in a suit showed up. He talked to the workers and they put us in his car, no questions asked. The whole car ride I was panicking in the back seat, but that went away when we reached our destination. 

“Woah, what’s that?”

“Your new home” Said the man. We were in a small town, and on top of a hill was a HUGE, stunning building. It looked like a school, but fancier. And it became our new home. My favorite part of the school was the lab. I spent hours in there, making all kinds of things blow up! My room was full of gadgets I’d invented, because with my after-school job, I didn’t have much money to buy gadgets.
