I don't know how I ended up here or why I'm still stuck on this bus ride but whatever. My name's Diego and I'm 20 years old, not that it matters to anyone anymore, probably. I used to play point guard for my high school basketball team but after a nasty ACL injury in senior year, all of that just went away. Now, I spend most of my time working at the local Taco Bell flipping burgers and dealing with entitled customers who can't even be bothered to tip.
It's weird how life just changed overnight, you know? One minute I'm dunking on the court and the next, I'm stuck in a wheelchair. My parents had to get me this fancy new prosthetic leg that lets me walk again but it looks super lame. The other kids at school would stare and make fun of it so I just started wearing these baggy pants all the time to hide it. Now, everyone thinks I'm just some slob who wears too much sweatpants. It's a real identity crisis, you know?
I don't really talk about this stuff with anyone anymore because nobody understands what it's like to lose your purpose like that. But hey, at least I got my basketball shoes to show off when I step off the bus. My buddy gave 'em to me for my birthday last year and I've been rocking them ever since. You know who you are, right? Yeah, me neither. Anyway, where were we headed again?
