Hey! I'm Allison and this is (obviously) my story about Caleb. This is set in modern day and is a spinoff off my other story Brown and Blue, which is not required to read for this to make sense, but you're more than welcome to check it out! The prologue is short, but the chapters will all be way longer.
I hope you like it,
Allison
Prologue
Everyone has a story. Mine is by no means original or exciting, but background is always a good start for a story, and sometimes it is the best part.
I was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Andrew and Natalie Prior. I have a younger sister, Beatrice. We lived in Milwaukee for most of our lives. Right before the start of our sophomore year of high school, we moved to Chicago for our dad's job.
Starting over is never easy, but it was a good change. I do miss home sometimes, but I really like Chicago.
I made some good friends here, but Nicholas and Kathleen graduated the year I transferred. Rick was around the whole time. We go to different colleges, but we still keep in touch.
Rick goes to University of Chicago and I go to DePaul, which has been cleaned up greatly. Rick wants to be a lawyer and I want to teach high school history.
Right now it's March and I'm just about to start my student teaching at my old high school, Lake View. The best part is that I get to student teach with my favorite ex-teacher, Ms. Jeanine Matthews.
It would feel very odd to call her by her first name. I'll call her Ms. Matthews.
Let's see, what else has happened since I moved to Chicago? Oh! Beatrice, who goes by Tris now, but I still call her Beatrice, called recently to tell me she's getting married. I do hope that it doesn't interfere with school.
That was dumb, I tell myself. Beatrice has school too. She won't have it during the school year. Plus she goes to school in Colorado.
Well, I won't worry about it now. She'll let me know when something comes up. Besides I have to get ready for work. Can you call it work? Or is it school?
I guess we'll see. I still have to do school work while student teaching, so it's like a school inception.
Huh. Beatrice would have groaned at that, and I would have rolled my eyes. She's always tolerated school, but I've always liked it. That's ninety seven percent the reason why I want to be a teacher. The other three percent is because I need summers off. I've grown too used to them.
