A/N: This is a short first chapter, but following ones should be longer. I hope...

"Congratulations, Class of 2007!"

Principal Herald's words echoed in my head as I woke up the morning after graduation. I couldn't believe that I was done with high school forever.

And that meant that I was leaving my aunt and uncle's house and going back to my parents' house. I still wasn't sure if going to my parents' was a good thing. I hadn't been there in almost eleven years, not even for summers or holidays. My parents hadn't even attended my graduation. Apparently, my brother's graduation was the same night, and, of course, they would rather attend his.

Anyway, I was going to have to spend my last real summer vacation away from my best friend Ellen and everybody else I knew. I'd be stuck alone for the summer, unless you count my loving parents...

How freaking wonderful.
