TITLE: FOREVER
Chapter 1
It was the first day of my senior year and all of my friends and classmates were excited for college. Our parents constantly reminded us to be serious about college. They kept on deciding our future for us—they told us to take entrance exams to the universities of their choice, they chose our own course for us, even though we wanted a different course and all that college crap. We couldn't blame them though; they were going to be the ones paying for our tuition fees, house rent, food, transportation and other stuff.
My other friends kept on thinking about love. Some of them have experienced relationships with different people. They kept falling in love like there was no tomorrow. Please don't think I was jealous of them. On the contrary, I considered myself lucky because I was free from the distraction called love. I didn't have to think about a girlfriend who kept on whining about my busy schedule or kept comparing herself to other girls. I never even thought about falling in love. Never.
I was different. I was focused on my goals. I had a strong sense of responsibility.
My name is Jace Lightwood, and this is my story.
