Life as we know it
Prologue
What a summer it's been! I finally graduated from High School, I went to Prom with Daphne and had a BLAST dancing and laughing at the awkward couples on the dance floor wishing they had brought someone else.
We had an amazing trip to Florida to celebrate; our parents rented a villa for three whole weeks so we had plenty of time to visit all the parks, I especially loved the trip up to Tampa Bay even if I did get sunburn – I got to ogle all the hot men in swimsuits from behind the cover of sunglasses, Dad was none the wiser even if he gave me an odd look for not noticing the scantily clad young girls that paraded around in front of me.
Daph's and my parents left after the second week with promises from us to make sure and behave and relax before we return home in time to leave for College. Daphne was going to study Medicine in New York and I was off to my Dads alma mater Dartmouth to study business.
What fun that was going to be.
All my life I wanted to be an Artist and my dream was to attend Pittsburgh Institute of Fine Arts (PIFA), Dad refused to allow me to go even though I got 1500 on my SATS and I actually got accepted into a very hard school. Needless to say I went along with Dad and am nowfocussing on getting out from under his influence; perhaps I can change my course when I'm there? Major in Business but do some Art courses as well.
It was nearing the end of our week alone in Orlando when it happened. The event that turned my entire life upside down, never to be the same again.
Life as I knew it was no more.
