Author's Note: Hey. I know I haven't updated in a long time, but I had
stuff to do. Anyways, now I am back and continuing the story. I am not
sure where it is going myself, but I guess I'll wait and see if anyone
likes it. Enjoy!

"Well, really. You can't just give out tickets for car alarms going off, even if they're annoying."
"But it was in the middle of the night-"
"It can't happen again. Is that agreed?"
"Kate, it happened more than three times -"
"You'll have to sign this consent paper."
"But-"
"I'm really sorry, Hannah. It's just how our regulation system works."
"OK, but-"
"Oh wow, look at the time. I've really got to fly now. Good-bye."
"Kate!-"
It was no use. Kate had already disappeared.
~~~
"Now, don't grumble. Your excuse for the ticket was lame."
"It was true, though."
"That's my point. Sometimes it's better to tell a little lie. Like- illegal parking or something like that."
"There isn't any illegal parking around here."
"Hannah, you know what I mean."
"They had no excuse to go around issuing probation notices."
"They are the administration. You do not argue with them."
Hannah sighed. "Sam, just give me a break, OK?"
"Whatever. I'm just trying to help here."
"Well thanks, then."
"You're so welcome." Sam flashed a set of very white teeth before quickly leaving the room. Hannah rolled her eyes and continued cutting vegetables.

Hannah had long red hair that fell far past her shoulders, and it was usually kept in a messy bun with a few tendrils spilling out. It was unclear if it was dyed, simply an odd mutation that produced different colored eyebrows, or if it had always been that way. Her boyfriend, Sam, often commented that she could have been an ancient Roman goddess. Hannah returned the remark by reminding him that her manners were probably equal to that of a Roman peasant's. She had large, blue, almond-shaped eyes and a small nose that seemed immune to snide comments. Hannah's lips were large and often pouted, giving her the look of a posing model. Her friends envied her good looks, although all agreed her series of misfortunes set the scale about even.
Hannah's mother had died when she was a young child, and her brother was born with numerous birth defects that kept him from ever becoming fully independent.
Her family lived in a small town in the mountains, which was totally controlled by her father's company. Her father was a very successful businessman, however, he lacked many essential fatherly attributes. He was something of a genius, but intelligence does not guarantee people skills. He practically abandoned Hannah without knowing it by fully absorbing himself in his work after Hannah's mother died. But she did not become the attention-craving child you might expect from someone in her situation.
Being left to raise herself, Hannah did a remarkably good job. She spent a large amount of time taking care of her brother, David, and babysitting the toddlers of her neighbors. The job was highly unwanted, so Hannah got it without so much as an interview. Children were simply dropped off at her spacious apartment (courtesy of her father's money- making) and she took care of them until their parents returned. From various fiascos she became quite good at calming panicking children fearing that their parents might never return for them. David was surprisingly good at taking care of children also. He was sweet, serious and sincere and completely devoted to Hannah. When she had other commitments, David implied she was in the back of the apartment and took care of the children for her. Usually he would immediately call her to come home and help him, just to make sure she would be there when the child's parents returned.
Hannah had few friends, even though many others had tried. She seemed to recognize that most of them just wanted a piece of her beauty.
As she grew up, of course, she became a bit of a bombshell. However, she rebuffed all advances towards her and devotedly stuck to her work. This faithfulness soon presented Hannah with a considerable amount of money. She spent it by sending herself and David to boarding school, thinking she needed a more realistic environment to grow up in. When she had a real job, there would be many more people than just her customers and her family.
Hannah was definitely quite the girl. Her intelligence earned her the highest grades possible in school, and soon she found herself off to college. Her father was startled by how fast his little girl had grown up, but the truth was he had just not been watching. Hannah wanted David to come along with her to Yale, but her father stubbornly refuse, arguing David would not fit in, he hadn't gotten in (what would he do there?) and he should follow his own path. After all, they would always be brother and sister, wouldn't they? This was a big blow to Hannah because she knew her brother really did need her to continue improving his condition. As it turned out, David slowly deteriorated during her absence. Her father tried various groups relating to David's condition, but none of them were successful.
Hannah was now fully immersed in her college studies, and had few moments to think of a solution for her brother, and few to even send him letters to cheer him up. When her four years were over, she could not decide what to major in. She ended up doing another four years because she was given a huge sum of money from her father, and also loved school so very much. She finally majored in science, and decided to do city services part-time while writing on the side. The young woman was ambitious, full of life and eager to succeed.
Hannah settled in a city large enough to be "somewhere," but small enough to know all the fellow administrators. This city was in Colorado nestled between the Aspen trees and complete with a small creek and fairly good weather.
She acquired a notable amount of friends, although the whole town worshiped her. Hannah picked her friends discreetly, and her good acquaintances often joked that there was a waiting list to be considered as a friend of Hannah's, and the whole city was on it.
This was all according to the story she told of her past. It was mysterious because she apparently never called her brother or father again by the observation of her friends. But they knew that there was some complicated and confusing reason for it all. So they accepted Hannah's past without a question and let it rest.
By your observation, I think, you would agree with me on the fact that Hannah was leading a very good life.
