15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Childhood? What childhood? You mean those years of my life where Father was always drunk, and Mother was never home? When Father died, actually, our lives, to put it bluntly, went to hell. Mother fell into the drug scene, brought home a new boyfriend every week, and then married the wealthiest one. Since I wasn't always this tall and since I was tiny and skinny and quiet as a child, I was the ideal target for the ... entertainment of others. Like, those fucking kids who would ridicule me at school, and one of Mother's earlier boyfriends who thought it would be fun to feel me up. This is the stage in my life where I became tired of being the innocent, sweet, polite one in the family.
16. What is your earliest memory?
My father's funeral. Everything before that is a blur, really. That day marked the beginning of the rest of my life, regardless of how fucking cliche and generic that sounds.
17. How much schooling have you had?
I'm a rising senior in high school, so I've been in a private, Catholic, all-boys school ever since preschool. It's been great.
18. Did you enjoy school?
Oh yes. Classmates calling you ugly and pushing you down at the playground, teachers sending you to the principal's office for refusing to speak when asked a question, your mother coming to the principal's office and bursting into sobs, asking why the hell you can't speak when you're spoken to or why you won't tell her what's happening in your life that's making you so quiet and antisocial, running to your room to lock the door and bury your face in your hands and sob until you fall asleep. School has been fantastic.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
I read. It's really that simple. School is a joke. Life is a joke. I just read.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
There was no one to look up to when I was growing up. I looked up to my father as a young child because I was naive and didn't understand what alcohol could do to a family. Aside from that, I was a free spirit during my childhood years. I never looked up to anyone or respected anyone.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
I actually laughed when I read this question. My mother and I will never get along; it's really that simple. Similar forces repel each other in chemistry, and the same applies here. We are the same person, so we clash. It's that simple. However, it's a different situation with my idiot siblings, who wouldn't understand anything beside their own selfish needs and desires if it smacked them in the face. Since I was the youngest and most "spoiled," if you will, of the five of us and since I was Father's "favorite," Baldassare (my brother) naturally has always loathed me. My three sisters (Astrid, Bambi, and Robyn) live in their own world; they don't give a fuck about anything I give a fuck about. Our family is united by our unconditional hatred for one another.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was a child, I wanted to be a fireman. I'm quite serious. I don't even know what I want to do anymore. I don't know if I even want to get a job. I'll just move away to some obscure island in the Caribbean and live the rest of my meaningless life there in peace.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
I loved being with my Father when he wasn't getting out-of-your-fucking-mind drunk. We would go to the local icecream parlor and we would share a banana split before going to the park to play.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
I was, in deep contrast to what I have become, a very lively, loving child who loved to laugh, learn, and play piano. I still enjoy playing my piano, but none of those personality traits have really "stuck" with me.
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
I was never popular or well-liked at school, to be honest. I had this God-awful head-brace to fix my terrible teeth as a child, which resulted in much teasing and harassment from my classmates. By the time they got removed, my father passed away, and I eventually began to reject others, and, of course, they happily returned the favor. I had one childhood friend, Deborah, who I cared for dearly when I was about seven or eight; but then, the children at school openly asked us if we were dating, and our awkward reactions of "Oh, no; we're just friends ..." silently but surely struck a silent but fatal blow to our friendship. When she accidentally found out that I had a few self-inflicted wounds on my arms a few years later, she began to cry and she asked me where the Alex she used to love was; I told her that he was tired of the bullshit and wanted everyone to just leave him alone.
And she did.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
I was thirteen. It was a chilly November day. Cornelius (my stepbrother) and I were walking home from school, and he struck up a conversation (completely against my will, mind you). He asked me if I had ever been in a relationship with someone; I told him the truth, and said that I hadn't. He asked me if I had ever been kissed by someone; once again, I said no. We were passing over the small bridge that leads us from a small path in the woods to our property. He then took me by the shoulders, looked into my eyes, and pressed his mouth to mine. He then smiled devilishly, turned around, and walked ahead as if nothing happened.
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
Yes and no. Before you ask, allow me to explain. Cornelius and I, when we were about fourteen, began to fool around in my bedroom after school. It was nothing; we would simply kiss each other. Eventually, our curiosity and hormones led to the removal of clothing during our little "meetings." We stripped down to underwear and socks alone one day, and he kissed me and began to ... touch me in ways that frightened me and excited me at the same time. He gave me my first orgasm, but I never actually lost my virginity to him.
28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
I first learned that I was a Silona with telekinetic tendencies when I was about seven years old; I thought that it was just my imagination when I would yawn sleepily, extending my hand for my pencil across my desk in order to continue my arithmetic homework, and feel the pencil come to me. I don't fuck with that shit anymore; it only leads to trouble, if you ask me.
