Blaine. Hi, I'm Bonnie. I was 15, born and roasted, sorry, raised in the skin-scorching heat of Texas. Being the youngest, I was obviously the favorite. While my oldest sister Paige, the violin beauty, and my older brother Raymond, the straight A machine, had it tough. Ever since we were little, my siblings had been insanely busy. Raymond always had his face buried in books and Paige was glued to her violin. As for me, I didn't have any amazing talent. The thing I was best at was saving them from all that stress. Those were the moments when the three of us laughed the hardest. One time I even confidently held my own art exhibition right on the living room wall. When mom and dad came back after picking them up from extra classes, they were in awe.

Awww, she's just reminding us to love each other. That's my precious baby girl. Back then, I was genuinely the center of the universe. The little burst of joy that melted away all the exhaustion in the house. But when I turned 15, we moved to the big city so Raymond could grind and Paige could launch her career. With zero distractions, Raymond became a beast, crushing every ranking, and Paige was out here collecting music awards like she was grocery shopping. My parents hit the jackpot. To them, my siblings were billion-dollar projects that needed constant funding. Dad dumped cash into international academic summer camps for Raymond, and mom even brought in a top violinist to tutor Paige. And it's shocking to me how fast they stopped paying attention to me.

My little stress relief pranks now just made them lose their minds. Seriously? After all these years you're still the same.

Why did the family’s move to the city trigger Bonnie’s feelings of abandonment?

When are you ever going to grow up?
Unknown 2:09
She's never gonna grow up! Honestly, she has zero future!
Natalia Moretti 2:13
I didn't get it. Why is everyone so obsessed with boring stuff like the future and careers? Meanwhile, everything that actually brought real joy was completely locked down by my parents. Can we get pizza this weekend and watch?

What do you know? You're just a kid. Raymond has to review the draft of his valedictorian speech this week.

Mom, I was thinking we could paint the living room. What do you know? You're just a kid. Be quiet so Paige can focus on the international violin competition. I was so done with being pushed aside. I'd proved to them that I wasn't just some little kid anymore. So for my parents' anniversary, I personally went into the kitchen to bake the most epic cake ever. I wanted them to see how mature I'd become. But then an egg slipped from my hand and landed SPLAT right on the oven switch. The oven short-circuited and boom! Smoke completely swallowed the kitchen! I was coughing my lungs out when my parents busted through the door and they lost it. But Sticker.

Buddy, were you trying to burn the whole house down?

You are a literal menace to this family! After that disaster, my parents set up a maximum security lockdown situation just to stop me from causing any more chaos. From the corners of the ceiling, on top of the fridge, hidden inside plant pots, dozens of blinking security cameras tracked my every move. I only had one safe haven left. This tiny, dark closet under the stairs. Welcome to the Kingdom of the Outcasts. Then one night while my parents were out, I heard these sneaky footsteps creeping up the stairs.

What led to the disastrous kitchen fire and the parents’ extreme security lockdown?

Natalia Moretti 3:48
Naturally curious, I peeked out. It was Raymond! What was he even doing? I followed him into my parents' room. Through the crack of the
