Hi everyone!!! Ciao, ni hao, ney how, salut, konichiwa. and that's all I
know! Anyway, this is my first ever fanfic and it is a follow on from
Looking For Alibrandi (the book). I try to be as creative as I can and I'll
try and follow Melina Marchetta's style of writing. Also, if I can I'll be
as accurate as possible, bringing in only a few characters at the most.
Well I hope you enjoy my fic and any opinions, ideas and so forth are
welcome at all times. but please try and be a bit encouraging ^_^;
Disclaimer: Uh. what am I supposed to write? Just that Looking For Alibrandi isn't mine? Okay. umm. it isn't mine ^_~.
It's been a while since the end of last year. So much happened, yet it went by so quickly. John's death, Michael's return, the 'Alibrandi' truth, the HSC and of course, Jacob Coote. I still think of him often, it's like he's always still around. I've seen him a few times since we broke up, mainly because of Anna and Anton but I've never approached him.
He kept his promise and offered to take me to grad at the end of last year, but I was too hurt to say yes. Instead, I went with Robert (my cousin). It was all right I guess and I passed with great marks. I've started studying law at a university campus this year.
I heard from Anton that Jacob passed his HSC as well and in fact, he didn't do too badly. Instead of being a mechanic, Anton told me he's doing engineering. I was surprised he would still study after year twelve. Well, I guess I sort of understand now with all that crap he said that day he dumped me. Wait. I don't understand, why do I keep bringing him up. He's out of my life now isn't he? But I can't lie to myself about one thing though, and that is, I can't forget Jacob Coote. He was my first love and I had my first kiss with him.
On the subject of guys, some trivia on my friends' status': Lee and Matt broke up after a while. something to do with personalities, I doubt it, I bet it's something to do with the word BED. Sera and Angelo broke up and she hit on some weirdo guy. unsuccessful so now she's with Mr Mystery, she won't tell us who he is. I wonder if she is actually single for once. Well, I doubt it, she hasn't been without a boyfriend for more than a week since she was fourteen. Anna and Anton Valavic are still going very strong. He doesn't pressure for anything and they are madly in love with each other. Also, Anton is my one and only source of information on Jacob. but it's not like I'm that obsessed with him so Anton and I are just friends. He knows what to tell me when I want to know about Jacob, I don't need to ask.
My status? Well I'll always believe that one day Jacob and I would be together again. I'm looking forward to that 'one 'day'. As for now, well I have inherited my mother and grandmother's beauty after all. Quite a few guys have asked me out at uni, but I turned all of them down. I'm just no read to be hurt again.
Law isn't too bad. Especially when you father is a barrister. But it isn't too easy. Ivy studies at my uni as well, she took up psychology. She said she wants to help people before it's too late like John. We are friends now, we understood that John wanted more than anything for us to be there for each other when he was gone and now we are.
Family wise, things have only changed a little. Nonna and my relationship is stronger. Mum is starting to accept nonna more and she is mush less criticizing. She doesn't know of course about Marcus Sandford and I believe that she never should. Nonna lets Michael into the house now, and I think she even likes him, who couldn't? Mum and Paul Presilio stopped seeing each other and that's the same as Michael with his girlfriend. They blush every now and again when they see each other. I don't know what's with them, there is literally nothing keeping them away from each other.
Well that's been around what's on with me, Josephine Andretti -- who never was an Alibrandi, he should have been a Sandford and who might never be a Coote - for the last few months. I must say, I'm excited for what's in store for me next.
Author's Notes: Well that was my story.. First chapter, there still is a lot more to go. Please review and tell me if you would rather me update more often with shorter chapters or update less with longer chapters. Short chapters would be around 500 words in length and long ones would be at about 1000-1100 words. Thanks heaps and heaps. And by the way, pretty please with sugar and ice cream and a cherry and whatever topping you like on top. can you review? Thanks!!! Luv lots, sita.
Bye, zai jian, joy geen, Ja ne, ciao, au revoir!
*~*~*~* Yesterday was history, tomorrow a mystery, today's a gift so that's why we call it present.*~*~*~*
*** One last note.. Melina Marchetta has written a new book. Not a sequel, just another Italian-Australian book.
