Sai App Part II
Background History:

Sai had an unusual upbringing.

For starters, he was found a modest farming couple in a rural area of Texas during the middle of a stormy night. Wailing was heard in the couple’s chicken coup and with a search by their oldest son, discovered an Asian child stashed in hay among the hen and roosters. Sensibly and immediately, the discovery of the child was reported to the police, which lead to a five-year long search across the country for the parents of the child found. But no orphanages had any records of him, no foster families, and no hospitals. And parents of the child—whoever they may have been—never appeared out of the woodwork to regain custody. All the while, Sai lived with couple and their three children, spending his days learning to crawl, walk, and eventually run among the grassy fields where the cows grazed, learning to distinguish good chicken eggs from the bad. He went down to the creek and dug up earthworms to feed the chickens, cleaned out pig sties, and enjoying swimming down by the old swimming hole. When the time came for the authorities to question if the couple wanted to keep the child they had found, no other answer but a yes crossed their minds. They had fallen in love with the child and wanted to keep him as their own, surreptitiously dreading the possible day where his biological parents—those scum—would arrive and try to claim the boy back from him. Legal paperwork was completed, and Sai (it sounded Asian enough, right?) became officially apart of the family.
Sai attended school in a single room classroom where grades kindergarten through eight was taught under the instruction of one teacher. (He truly lived in a very small, very rural town where denim overalls were fashionable.) It was only a matter of time before Sai began to realize that he was…different from the other kids. Different from his siblings and parents even, who all had cornflower blonde hair and sky-blue eyes with skin darkened from long hours of work in the blistering sun. Sai had dark hair, dark eyes, and pale skin that was prone to burning in the sun. Although the other kids were, for the most part, kind to him (at least in his face) Sai couldn’t help but feel that the adults in town were saying bad things about him in whispers whenever he went down to the grocery store with Billy-Joe, Whitney-Anne, and Julie. How come his name wasn’t some variation of Billy-Joe? Hunter would have been nice as well…
