“Ooh, what on earth have you got on your feet? Those shoes are so nerdy!”

At that moment I really wished the ground would open up and swallow me. I was always getting picked on at school by the trendy kids. I couldn’t help it that I loved studying and wanted to get the best grades I possibly could.

Dad and I had a really special relationship, because we both loved science. My brothers Tom and Andrew were more into sport, and my sister Amy wanted to be a fashion designer. I guess you could say I was Dad’s favourite.

“What’s up Neil?” She asked, as she noticed my sad face.
