Ruth has a secret: she is mentally unable to retain information she doesn't find striking or interesting, long term or short term. The second something's in front of her she knows it instinctively, like one knows their own name, acing all her exams effortlessly and answering questions with ease - however, she has no idea what she looks like until she sees herself in the mirror, knows little to nothing about pop culture, and often-times forgets her own address. In fear of what would happen if someone found out about her condition, Ruth goes through her life pretending to be normal: going as far as feigning delinquency and rarely attending classes as to not draw attention to herself or her apparent intelligence. However, when in her senior year of high school, one of her classmates Abel finds out that she receives stellar grades without any obvious effort and wants in, blackmailing her into tutoring him so he can graduate with his class. The more time they spend together, the more they begin to become friends - and the closer Ruth gets to Abel, the closer Abel get's to the truth. Soon enough, Ruth finds herself involved in a calculated game of chess with a boy who doesn't even know he's playing - and to her horror, he's winning.

CONTENT WARNING: description of injury/blood. This is a memoir/personal narrative essay that I wrote for my Junior English class back in 2015. I ended up winning a Silver Key for it in the Maine Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, and had it published in a book: Maine Teen Writing 2016, a collection of works written by middle and high school students. It has its flaws, but this memoir helped me take the first big step to becoming a "real" writer. Enjoy! -Cierra L Anctil (P.S., I'm new to this whole Wattpad thing, so I couldn't figure out how to "tab" new paragraphs. Sorry if the formatting seems odd because of that!)

As someone with ADHD, I have heard the same things over and over. The title speaks for itself. This is a book for my fellow ADHDers, and I hope this is relatable to you all. I also hope that this book reaches those who do not have ADHD. If you have a friend that has this then maybe this will help you understand how our brain works. Our brain does not work the same. I hope to not only reach other ADHDers but also help people understand that we are people too. 31 in education out of 13.4K stories 9/21/23

Lorelei is a timid, passive mermaid princess of Baltica, a tiny merfolk kingdom in the cool, brackish Northeastern Ocean.

Some of the biggest names in science, trade, and movies struggled in school with their thinking and learning differences. It may be hard to believe, but many people we know that made the world a better place were, in fact, dyslexic. Steven Spielberg, Keira Knightley, and Salma Hayek are some of Hollywood's brightest stars - and they all have dyslexia. The greatest minds in history, like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawkings, and Pablo Picasso were also all dyslexic. Richard Branson and Steve Jobs are mega-successful dyslexic entrepreneurs who turned their brainchild into billion-dollar companies. https://www.riffitnow.com/blog/how-dyslexia-helped-three-famous-people-succeed-beyond-imagination
