Roofs, Rain, and Stolen Shirts

Intro.

I'm not the kind of country girl most people think of, not a farmers daughter raising cows. I hate bugs and I don't typically go outside. I'd rather be inside curled up with a good book or watching a horror movie. Although I would love to sit in the grass or by the lake, and I often do.

My life is great, I have friends like Alyxandria, Beth, Ginny, and Altair. My family is nice with two parents and two sisters (both older). It's comfortable but I don't get out much, none of us do. Its just that we live a whole 25 minutes away from town.

I do have the luxury of living next to Altair though so we walk together often, sometimes to the lake behind my house.

I always dream of the love and romance missing from my life (hours of reading brought that to me). I was always happy but I constantly thought about how I could die at any moment. Altair always brought my spirits back up in the end. I always call him Al though.

My life was a gift of perfection in my eyes, until the day of my drivers test. I had just turned seventeen that week...
