PROLOUGE: Before
My mom just remarried. I am 17. Her new step dad Phil is funny I guess. He loves to play baseball and mom loves him a lot. So we all are going on the road to support Phil. Phil and Mom gave me the choice of going with them or staying with Charlie. I haven't seen my real dad Charlie in 4 years but I don't really want to see him. He lives in a small cold and wet town called forks. So instead of annoying him and living in a town that nobody cares about I am staying with mom. Phil got a promotion and now is playing all over the country in baseball. Phil's first game is in Jacksonville, Florida. We live in Phoenix, Arizona, the plan (thanks to mom and Phil) is to drive there and stop in every state we can. Mom has a bucket list and first she wants to visit every state in North America. We are leaving as soon as the cars packed. Most girls would be really upset about leaving their hometown which they love. They'd be leaving behind all their friends. They would be begging to stay. But I'm not them. I'm the girl who stands in the back and watches. I don't really have any friends here in phoenix. I want to change, I need to change. As I stand in my room for the last time because the house is being sold I check around that I haven't left anything behind. I do a quick check in my drawers, cupboards and under my bed, before I slide my cupboard door so the mirror can see me. I look at myself over and over. The same black converse that I've had since year 8. My favourite stained blue jeans that have a few tears down the side and around my ankles. Murky green top with a black singlet underneath. Brown hair dead straight siting just below my shoulder as usual. A bland thin headband from a $2 shop down the road. My heart shaped face with my super pale skin. A small thin nose that is just like a tiny mountain on my face. My cheekbones that stick out just enough to resemble some beauty in my ugly attire. The lips that seem in comparison huge to the rest of my weird disorientated face. Finally my eyes. Charlie's eyes. Big and brown, like chocolate. My eyes are the only thing on my face I actually like, they somehow make me look human compared to the rest of my irregular shaped body. I give myself the once over. "I will change" I whisper to myself. I don't want to be the average person anymore. I want to be someone different. That would start today. "Let's go!" I hear Phil.
