~Story~

My name is Simon Ray, I am 17 years old, and I live in The Bronx, located in the northernmost borough of New York City, near Little Italy. The thing about me is that I never try to make the most of any situation sometimes, and this mainly has to do with my diagnosis of the Autism Spectrum.

I was diagnosed at a very young age and I had to learn at a level where I get most of my education. I have a 102 IQ and I may be smart, most kids perceive me as dumb and stupid, which I'm not. I make mistakes like everyone else in life. I can get some things wrong and still improve myself, but I need to stop before I go on.

Things went well for me over time, but over time we heard on the news that there was a virus going around, killing people, but we didn't know how bad it was going to be. We thought it was another fake news story that people make up for attention.

Turned out, we were wrong because at 2 in the morning, my dad woke me up, saying that we had to get to the rooftop of our apartment building. I was told to pack up as many clothes as I could put in my suitcase along with anything that I find valuable, like, a book or whatever that makes me occupied.

So, I grabbed one of my old journals, which I never used and we went up to the roof where everyone else was.

But when we went up, it turned out that less than 18 had made it out alive, including a girl named Annabella Conte, nicknamed "Bella".

I've been to her family's restaurant in the neighborhood a couple times, but I've always felt attracted to her for some reason. She was always nice to me whenever I'm at the restaurant on some days, but don't know what it is.

Sooner than later, it would come back to haunt me.

(A/N: This is another story that I want to try out sometime and this is mainly inspired by a movie that's non-fiction called "The Diary of Anne Frank" from 1959. I just ordered the movie on DVD and this story will be inspired by the film.

This isn't really a ripoff of the movie, it's more how can I tell a story about a young man on the autism spectrum trying to function during a similar situation? This is a big question and I want to explore that big question as I try to make this story as entertaining as possible.

So, this is what I have in mind for the near future as I really want to try to write this and, yeah, that's really about it.

See ya.)
