My Name is Essence Adriana Atwood, I Live in Newport Beach, California. My parents are like famous here, my mother, Marissa, is a world famous phycologist and my dad, Ryan is a Lawyer, so of course im a huge dissapointment im not headed toward greatness, if working a cash register at mcdonalds or maybe even a store in the mall is considered greatness, then i guess i am, but last time i checked that is not what was considered greatness.

I am like 5' 6" and I have brown eyes and black hair I work at the mall, which is ok. I go to Harbor High, I don't like it there anyway i mean all there is people like my mom, when she was young. They all call me goth, or whatever else they think of I am the outsider daughter that should belong, like a puzzle piece that should fit but it doesnt, I guess i just wish that things were different, like i belonged in Newport.

my uncle said he thought that too. hes not really my uncle, my dad well its a long story. but it ended in my dad being adopted to my uncles dad and mom. My grandparents, wow, my grandpa, Sandy Cohen, is the main dude of this major company that my great grandfather started, and my grandma, works with my other grandma in a dating service, my mom works there part time too. and my grandma julie is well, interesting. My aunt and uncle are really cool and gave me my favorite cousin only three weeks older than me, Taylor. Summer is easy to talk to unlike my mom, they live next door, so i see them almost daily.

Today i was in school and all of a sudden this guy came into school, he looked odd, you know when someoneis different in our school. It was like black in a sea of pink. you get it, anyway im gonna stress this point, this boy was fine, hot, gorgeous anyway you wanna spin it, he wasnt hard on the eyes. So I'm not shy around guys, my best friend is one, i didnt know if it was sad to have your step-cousin as your best friend, but this entire town was probably related in one way and no one had the trouble to figure out. Well anywho I went up to him, introduced myself, everything. That night i got home and i set everything down, finally i saw my mom walking down the stairs,

"Essence"

"yah"

""why did the school call me today telling me you skipped the last two classes today"

"cuz i did"

I forgot to mention that, i needed to go to the mall early, i needed to eat a pretzel and i hate school afternoons, they just drag on and on. it makes me want to shoot myself.

"Essence Adriana Atwood"

"that is my name"

"dont be witty im sick of this,ess, just sick of it"

"mom, listen school sucks, its stupid and dull and dont you have i dont know, people to blame, drugs to prescribe"

"you know perfectly well thats not what i do"

"whatever mom"
