Sorry for the long wait but here it is

Please forgive me

Welcome to my life

As Andy walked down the stairs he was greeted with the usual arguments with the maid and the yelling down the people.

"Welcome to the Hayden house where the fun never stops(!)," he whispered under his breath.

Grabbing his bag and keys he quickly made a dash for the door before he was asked why he wasn't at some high society party thing last night. Then he would get yelled at because he was ruining their image they had built up over the years and his own.

He couldn't face that conversation this morning, in fact any morning. But that was his life. Those were the conversations he had to face if he didn't go and show his face. According to his grandmother "those are the type of sacrifices you have to make when you are blue blood." Andy was sick of sacrifices and sick of always pretending to be who he wasn't.

Andy arrived at school so early some of the teachers weren't there already but this wasn't unusual for him.

He got off his 2000 Indian, the same one he was told his father drove but Andy had modified it to give it a bigger horsepower and re-painted it to suit his personality. Andy unlike most of the people in his world wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty and didn't drive around in the newest Porsche or BMW that daddy's money brought them. For one thing Andy didn't have a dad and another those types of cars were built for people with more money than sense.

Andy did care about the newest PS2 game and gadgets out in the shops like any other teenager but it didn't rule his life. I mean he wouldn't trade his mother for the newest game a week before it came out. His father maybe. Andy cared about his family (word used loosely) and would do anything for them. He wasn't the guy he was made out to be in this fucked up world.

Andy was the king of Rainhill but he didn't care for the title. He wasn't worried about popularity and if he was suddenly the least popular guy tomorrow he wouldn't care. But this wouldn't happen and he knew it. Why?

Because of the act everyone put on, including him. His act was to be a player. To get every girl in the school to want him. To be the big guy. The guy everyone wants to be. To have the life everyone wants.

And then when he got home or at high society parties he was suppose to be well behaved and well mannered. To know everyone and everything about them.

Everyone had an act but theirs usually came out at high society parties when they were meant to behave. At school they were their usual self. Big headed, flaunting money around because they could and thinking they were better than everyone else.

The sad thing in Andy's opinion was that the real them were more stuck up than the act.

Andy was thinking about all of this when he was walking towards the big oak tree that stood directly in front of the wooden doors leading into the main building. He liked it here because he could see the car park so basically everyone who came into the school.

Andy looked at his watch, another present from his mum so of cause it was different. It had metallic blue links that each had a different bike on them. Then on the face it had digital time and a picture of Andy and his first bike in Stars Hollow because his grandparents would have never approved of a bike.

He saw he enough time to read his book before anyone came. He could never be seen reading. Bad for the image so he had his PSP standing by.

As he got out his book (great expectations) his book mark fell out. He picked up the piece of paper and noticed writing on it. He opened the paper and saw it was a list he had written right after Chris had came back and left 7 years ago.

Andy put down the book and read:

If you want to lead a successful like in the high society world growing up there are several rules you need to follow:

Your family is going to be fucked up except the fact and move on.

There are certain ways to behave in certain situations. Be aware of them.

Never call adults by their first name until they say you can.

Always behave in a polite manner and stick to light chit chat until a topic is brought up. Never start a serious conversation.

Always have a good circle of friends people will agree with.

Never make it public you have a friend or girl/boyfriend that doesn't have connections to the right people. You will know who these people are.

Always have a plan with your life that people will agree with.

Always go to the Ivy League collage your family has been going to for generations.

Never get wasted at a high society party. Wait until the after party the adults have no clue about.

You will be expected to do very well in school. If you're no very academic get your connections sorted at the beginning of the year. Note you will also be expected to do well in some sport.

Sorry for the long wait but the summers been full of loads of rubbish including coursework. Don't the teachers know that the summer is meant for relaxing? grrrrrr Back to school tomorrow so can use that time to continue writing lol.
