PROLOGUE: MELINDA JANE ROBERTS (MJ)
A shiny car pulled up in the McKinley High School parking lot. In it was Cassandra and her daughter Melinda Jane Roberts or MJ for short. The mother looked down to have her dark brown eyes clash with her daughter's gray ones in the passenger seat, "Melinda, are you ready for your first day of attending a public school?" Cassandra asked her, scrunching up her nose at the mention of public schools and the hormonal, improper teenagers it held whom she didn't want her daughter to be acquainted with.
"Yes, I am, mother." Melinda bit her lip hard to keep herself from saying anything she would regret later. After all, her parents always had a tendency to want a perfectly polite Barbie doll with etiquette for a daughter and whenever Melinda tried to rebel they would go into therapist mode, telling her that her behavior was a result of some phase or sometimes even a mental illness. So, she figured she should keep her mouth shut most of the time, biting away the sarcastic gold her parents always seemed to provide, because she didn't want to be told that she had bipolar syndrome or some form of deranged ADHD. She didn't want to have a repeat of fifth grade when her parents almost force fed her antidepressants, entirely convinced that she was emotionally scarred after she flushed her first goldfish called Goldie down the toilet.
"If you aren't… I could turn around now and drive straight back to Crawford Country Day and—"
"Mom, we've talked about this a hundred times." Melinda sighed in frustration, annoyed that her mom still thought that she had to make every decision and dictate her every move, "I am sure that I want to attend a public school. I want to stay as far away as possible from Crawford and any private school for the matter. Especially after what happened with Kelly." Tears sprang into her eyes and threatened to spill as memories of her old roommate, staying up late, a couple of smuggled magazines and the stereo playing in the background caught up with her.
Cassandra was speechless for a moment and Melinda felt proud that she could accomplish such a feat since her mother was a therapist and everyone knows how much bullshit therapist can whip up, so, she could safely say that she could cross that item off her bucket list.
"Bye." Melinda said, smiling to herself due to her little victory, as she got out of the car but she didn't let herself get too cocky because she knew her parents and she knew that she had won that little battle but this war was far from over.
