Introduction
It's that time of the year where everything is just down-right complicated. My mother is getting married to a man that I, to be honest, distrust. It does not help that he is the father of the devil, Adrianna. The idea that we will soon be sisters, no stepsisters, sends chills through my whole body. This girl has put me through hell several times, and living in the same household with her is something I'm not looking forward to. Don, believe me when I tell you how many times I have tried to at least like him. I fail badly every time. It's something about him, but sadly I can't figure out what it is. But there is definitely something fishy going on with him.
Don't get me wrong, I am happy for my mom. Ever since he left, she has not been able to have a proper, stable relationship with anyone. At first I didn't like the idea of her dating Don but when I saw how happy he made her, I bit my tongue because she deserves all the happiness in the world. She has been through a lot. She has stood strong for both of us, has been my father and mother for the past fourteen years. She is the most important person in my life. I love her.
As for my love life, well let's just say I'm not ready to trust any men. I have had a couple of boyfriends before, but they were not serious. Fourteen years ago, my heart was destroyed, shattered to pieces. I don't want to go through that pain ever again. I have these feeling bottled up inside of me, put on a fake smile and act like nothing is wrong. That's how it has always been, and that's who I am.
Who am I exactly? No one special, just an average senior in high school with my priorities set straight. Go to college and make something out of my life. I'm the kind of girl you would talk to in school about homework or what the answers of a classwork assignment are. Unlike Adrianna, I'm not the most popular girl in school with the hot boyfriend. No, I'm just old me, Loren Tate.
Even though I'm just your average high school senior, I'm in love with music. I'm sort of a songwriter, but none of the songs I have written are "number-one" material. To be more specific I really like Eddie Duran's music, his music has helped me through some rough times. Eddie Duran, the international rock star who's got every girl fantasizing about him. Did I mention he's very hot? I may have a tiny little crush on him. His face has been on my wall for quite some time now. I have a feeling it's not going to come down anytime soon. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm a crazed fan girl. Watch out.
Thank god high school is almost over. Two more weeks of this hell whole, and I'm gone. I'll miss my mom, but I know she'll be alright without me. She has Don and Adrianna. The girl cringes at the word work and college. It sucks how I'm going to be a part of the only person who brings out the best of me; my spontaneous best friend Melissa. I got accepted into Brown for law, and she into Columbia University for Film. When we were celebrating for the news, we instantly started crying. She was proud of me, and I was proud of her. But we both knew we were going to be away from each other. Of course, we will keep in touch, but I am so used to see her every day. I'm going to miss her. We have been through a lot and always came to each other when something important came up.
Pros and cons of leaving LA but I can't wait, I want to forget about everything and start living my life.
