"Lamia!"
"What?! You wanted to know the truth so there it is!"
"Not with that tone of voice and those use of words! Young lady, go to your room! You're grounded for a week."
"Whatever."
I run up the stairs to my attic. Oh, sorry. Let me just introduce myself very quickly. My name is Lamia Millstone. I'm 17 years old and pretty smart for my age. I skipped 7th grade and now I'm a junior-senior, which means I take junior and senior classes at once. Too bad I'll never start my year at the high school I wanted to attend. Details later.
So I have "problems". Not serious. Just your average mental issues and physical issues. My parents are just rich stuck-ups and everyone knows it. Well, my dad is. My 5th new stepmother is trying to play nice and disciplinary. She's so pathetic. All I want is my dad, my FATHER, to love me again so I did some stuff like shoplift clothes, run away, go through anorexic splurges just for his attention. Instead, all he does is send me to a psychologist or a treatment hospital. I tried so hard yet I got nothing in return.
I remember when my mom used to hold me and tickle my stomach. We would play "Spell that Word" or go on a scientific quest for the quaser laser (ok, I'm a nerdy geek). It was fine times until her science lab blew up. Apparently, they were working with some dangerous chemicals and they accidently knocked over some of them. Five people died that day, including my mother. Everything changed after that. My dad started dating profusely and let's just say the first four wives were almost my age. It was ridiculous! They couldn't cook a decent meal! Ugh! But this new wife isn't half bad. My dad is 35. She's 28. She could be like my sister or aunt! I still don't like her though.
Well she's the one who just sent me to my room. What a loser! She asked if I thought she looked fat in the mini-skirt. I gave her the truth- she needs to suck the fat out of her legs and her (well I ain't much of a cusser) butt. So I'm in my room now. Might as well check my email and IM. Yay! My bff is on! My friend Alexis or "Lexy" is the best of the best! We are totally unseperable. She helps me with a lot and I don't know what I can do without her.
