SUMMERY: Did you know that people always lie about themselves? Whether it is about their age or hair color, people always lie. It just so happens that I lie about my whole life.

PROLOGUE
HALEY'S POV
Did you know that people judge a person within the first 15 seconds of meeting them?
We all categorize every person we meet into certain stereotypes. This typecast determines how we interact with this person/s. We make ourselves think that we know everything there is to know about another after just a couple of interactions with them. We create our own reality that revolves around how we perceive the world and nobody can say otherwise.
The world is black and white and if someone decides that purple is the new black we shun them. Society cannot handle the fact that people are different, that everything is not how it seems. So we play along. We abide by the rules that "society" has imposed on us.
What people don't realize is that we are the society. We all think that everyone has to be one way, and do this thing. We all think that that if we aren't this way then society (i.e. everybody) will not accept us. But then everybody thinks the same way, so nobody can really see that that is not the case. We live in this vicious cycle of perceived reality that only feeds on the minds that have yet to follow.
And so we lie.
We lie about what a favorite band is, so that we can fit in with "cool crowd" who are obsessed with 50cent. We get in only to find out that that is what everybody else did the same thing, and actually hate rap and are really into Faber Drive but are to afraid to speak their mind.
We lie about our hair color so that people don't people don't fit us into the stereotypes that we have worked so hard to contradict.
We lie about our age so we can get into the nightclubs where we spend all night fighting off drunken creeps and then losing our friends to seedy men looking for a quick lay.
We lie about our weight because we think that wearing a size 8 dress means social suicide. We create this image that tells the younger generations that weight matters and if you're overweight, you don't matter.
We lie about our cup size to seem more appealing to the men that are shallow enough to care that we have a D cup and completely bypass the ones that wouldn't care if we were a B.
We ALL lie about how we're really feeling. When ever some one comes up to us and asks "how are you feeling?" 9 times out of 10 we say were "fine", and 9 times out of 10 we're not.
But me, I lie about my whole lifeā¦
