~Chapter 3~

Okay, before we go any further, I just want to make sure that y'all don't have the wrong impression of me. As you already know, I never had any intention of killing anyone, never mind Samuel Gillamatti. We were barely even friends, just chem. lab partners. I hardly even saw him in school, mainly because my school separates the girls from the boys except, for some strange reason, that one class.
I go to Premier Academy, the "most prestigious prep school in all of Alabama". In fact, nearly everything in my life is prestigious. To say it simply and bluntly, my family is rich. Really, really rich. In fact, we're number 3 in the Southeast's list of 10 richest families. Sick, I know- people actually still rate families like that. But its true-look it up, and you'll see "The Brodetti Family-Kingsprings, Alabama" written clear as day.
You see, my mom grew up her whole life in the "upper-middle class" and swore when she was 10 years old that when she grew up she would be rich. It was pure luck that she actually fell in love with my daddy-a man who could care less about money but made way more than anyone needed.
Mamma always kept us at the top of society though. My whole childhood is a blur of high society parties and functions with people I hardly even knew. At least at those parties I got to see mamma though. My sister, brother, and I were practically raised by our au pair, Loretta.
None of it ever fazed me though. I never felt the strong desire to have the designer clothes and the high-priced bags. My mother always just gave them to me, but I never really wanted them.
My daddy has always described me as "a free spirit imprisoned in an all-too-strict society." I guess he's right. I'd rather live in the mountains in a teeny cabin than the way I do now any day. As long as I had someone I loved and who loved me back. That's the one thing my daddy taught me from the very beginning and that I've truly believed in all my life. Love is the most important thing in the world. Once you've got that, nothing else matters.

*~Okay, I hope y'all liked that chapter. I made up the town of Kingsprings, Alabama. I have no idea if it really exists, so if it does its purely coincidental that it's in my story. Don't get mad if any of y'all live there or anything! Please review! ~*
