Prologue
Dear Diary,
I finally found a need to write in you. I never had before because my life was perfect, and I knew it. Not trying to sound stuck up or anything, but I had a great boyfriend and an awesome best friend! And now I have none, and it is my mother, Eleanor's, entire fault.
I can't believe Eleanor is dragging me to this goddamn awful place. I didn't deserve this. I loved living on the west coast it was so beautiful. I had the beach I had everything I could ever want right in California. But no, she didn't want to stay near grandma and grandpa, cause apparently she'd used them too much. That was so unfair, seeing as I never saw them, and just cause they were, paying for my tuition at Trinity College, but that was only for a whole week, before mum bailed on us.
I know the really reason why we she is making us leave, because for that one god damn week Eleanor had to talk to them, in a civilized tone. That might seem petty to you, but you don't know what they did to her. I don't even really know.
You see I have a rather erratic relationship with my mother. We are more like best friends not mother and daughter, just sometimes she has to play the mother card and I have to play the daughter card, and at times we play each other's role and this is one of those times.
See Eleanor is only 30, and guess how old I am? 15. She had me when she was only 15. Christine and Michael, my grandparents didn't like the fact that their daughter was pregnant so they abandoned her in her time of greatest need. Eleanor and I are usually close, seeing as were only 15 years apart, but when I started at Trinity a week ago she drifted, she worked her butt off non-stop that whole week, I barely saw her. She only asked them to pay my school because she wanted me to get the education she never got. I mean she got her high school diploma and she did her degree at the Community College in Interior designing so she is really smart, but she didn't have enough money for my new school Trinity Prep, so she went to the people she hated the most in this world and asked for help. And she got help, but she didn't want Michael and Christine interfering in our lives, that was one condition we had, and they were, they wanted us to move in with them, and they wanted us to have a socialite life, they wanted us to do what they said, not what we wanted and needed to do.
I can't believe Eleanor; she never used to be like this. We were fine one minute and the next were gone. Now here I am in a damn car going to this stupid place that she pointed to on a map. It's nowhere near a beach! It's some crappy place in Connecticut. I bet I wont get into Harvard now, cause I will have to go to some stupid public school. Harvard was my dream and I guess it still is but Eleanor is ruining it all for me. Now I will have to go to some stupid community college, and I wont be able to do law.
Well I think I should go to sleep. I hope mum will rethink this, I mean leaving in the middle of the night for one think isn't a very good idea, maybe when I wake up I will find out it was all just a bad dream.
