this scar is on the top of my head. i used to think i could fix it with rogaine, but have accepted that it's here to stay. if you look at the top of my head you'll notice that my part is slightly off center to hide my scar, and it's been that way since 4th grade.
  
that was when amanda invited me to her pool party. it was her birthday, and she had invited all the girls from class over to her house. i used to do backflips into the pool -- but this time hit the concrete on the way in. it didn't hurt as much as it looked. just an intense headache, and all of a sudden i started bleeding alot. i remember being more worried about ruining her party than what had happened to me.
  
asian parents tend to not send their kids to the hospital unless they're dieing. this scar is the product of neosporin and a lack of stiches.
  
i didn't want any anyway. but then maybe i wouldn't have a bald spot at the age of 10.
