I never expected myself to fall in love, from the age of 7 to 9, I watched as my parents fall out. It was like one day they were in love and the next they hated each other's guts.
I didn't find out till I was 16, when my mom told me why she divorced him.
He had just gotten a new receptionist for his multimillion law firm, which was the only one in Vermont and one night while I was at my friend's house for a sleep over, mom decided to go surprise him at work which turned out to be a surprise to her.
She caught dad with the receptionist, in his office with the door unlocked, stupid move if you ask me.
After that they fought every time they saw each other and before I knew it, mom packed us up and moved us to New York.
It has been 8 years since then, and I've seen my father only about 6 times.
2 weeks until I was about to start senior year, my mom told me that I was going to live with dad for it and attend his old prep school, it's an all boys school but my dad wanted his only child to attend even if I'm not a boy.
At first I thought I was going to hate it but what I didn't know was that I was going to meet, 7 amazing boys who were going to become my best friends, a teacher who loves teaching, and fall in love as well.
