What's there to tell? I'm just a 17 year old black female who has a passion for writing. I also have an unnatural addiction to The Boondocks. Stay tuned for my chapters, and please give me your feedback on them. I've been writing for 4 years now, but there is always room for improvement.

Name: Lajoy, of course! :D My middle name. I know it's weird. Don't blame me! Blame my parents!

Age: 17

DOB: Unless you're sending me presents,...you don't have to know. ;)

Reason for Writing: - Writing gives me the chance to escape reality. If only for a little while. I'm gonna be honest. I don't have the best life. And I must say that writing has kept me sane. @_@ ...

...For now.

Until Proven Innocent: Now, about my story "Until Proven Innocent." I know there are alot of stories having to do with the "ghetto girl coming to Woodrest for whatever reason, and having an interest in Riley," thing. But I'm really trying to stray away from that sort of thing. Yes, Candice does move to Woodcrest, but she's not a loud ghetto little girl with a grown woman body. (She's a flatty, thank you very much!) To be honest, I have been a victim of making a character fit that cliche' description. But this story...is different.

She's been accused of killing her own mother! An 8 year old! Can you honestly say that you know what she's feeling? She's alone. She has nobody.

Candice isn't the loud ghetto girl. She's quiet. She keeps to herself. She also holds in her emotions. She's not trying to make any new friends for one reason. (And you'll find out about that later in these chapters.) A little 8 year old girl is being charged of murder. Cameras flashing left and right. Always being stalked and harrassed. Can you honeslty say you know what she's going through?

She has a dark past. (In later chapters.) And she is going through things mentally. Is she crazy? Did she really murder her mother? You need to read to find out.

Now, that's why I believe her meeting Riley would be so interesting. Riley always talks about being a thug and how "Hood Life" is the shit. But what he doesn't know is that once he gets sucked into that kind of life, there's only one way out. So when he gets involved with Candice...well, like I said before: Read to find out.

Is Candice a love interest for Riley? Bloop! ;)

Will it be expressed in this particular story? No.

This story just focuses on them being kids and starting off a certain kind of...forbidden friendship, so to speak. (You'll find that out a little later.)

I would say more, but I don't want to give away the juicy details of the story. ;) As I stated before, you'll have to read to find out.

So please..PLEASE read and review, and let's have us a jolly good time!

...That was gay... _

Ah, and before I forget. Here's some of Candice's theme song. Explaines her to a T. Why did I give her a theme song? ...DEEZ NUTZ!

Ain’t the pictures enough?
Why do you go through so much..
To get the stories you need..
So you can bury me?
You got the people confused.
You tell the stories you choose.
You try to get me to lose..
The girl I really am.

You keep on stalking me.
Invading my privacy.
Won’t you just let me be.
Your cameras can’t control..
The minds of those who know.
That you’ll even sell your soul
Just to get your story sold.
