I was always the second one in the eyes of my parents. Being the second child in my family was never easy. I was always the goddamn second one! My oldest brother, Andrew, used to be the supposed bread and butter of the Flint family. They would always buy him new clothes to wear, new food to chew, everything that there is he has it. When I was 12, Drew was 19, and he took the role as a Cadet, bringing more pride to my parents. But they will never know what I know. Drew was a f***king coward. He would pay other cadets to kill the Titans for him. He dared to use our money so that he would gain fame--fame that was never his! I despised my brother, even before he became a cadet. Even before, he would use the family money in order to be better, to be the greatest at everything. But in truth, he really wasn't. He is nothing but a coward. And I was forced to call him...my big brother.

Hell, it didn't end there. When the cadets set off to fight some titans who had broken a wall, Drew paid another good fighter. But the fighter just took the money and not protect Drew. Big brother lost his life. When I heard the news, I felt refreshed. Not entirely, but at least some burden in the Flint family was gone. Yeah, I sounded mean. But you didn't know.You didn't know my life. And all the beatings 'big bro' gave me from as long as I can remember. My life with him...it was horrible.

Remember when I said that I was the second child? Yeah well, I had a little sister. Who resembles Drew is any terrifying way possible. Even she paid other kids to be her friends. Goddammit why is it that they always use the family money?! And I can't believe that my parents don't even know sh** about it. Damn. They check their money every now and then, and do they care about having an amount of money lost from them? Noooooo. Instead, they would just ignore it and continue to pamper the kid. Alisha, my sister, would often blackmail me, saying that if I don't do this or that then she would tell Mom or Dad. And we all know that if she did tell them, I'll be in a lot of trouble. And as per usual, my parents don't give a sh** about me.

2 years later, another wall, this time, it was near our home since our house was near the side of the wall, broke and titans of various sizes attacked. Everything happened to fast. The whole massacre felt like it was just minutes, but it was actually 45 minutes. My best friend, Wenlock, pushed me out of the way when a titan tried to scoop me from the ground. That was the last time I saw Wenlock. And at that time, his eyes were locked on mine as he gave me a smile--the last smile I ever saw from him. From then on, I swore that I will protect my friends, and eliminate all titans. I swore. I was still weak, and was easy to kill.

Then I thought, hey, what if I would be a cadet someday....would something change?
