Chapter 1

My name is Sara, and I live in NYC, 'where dreams come true.' To be honest, if that statement was true, I'd be rich, living in some fancy palace right now. Instead, I'm stuck living in a small, ratty apartment in the heart of NYC. Not to mention, I'm not even out of high school yet. I used to live with my mom, and my uber annoying brother, Felix, who will flirt with anything breathing, but I turned 18 last year, so I packed up my things, and got the heck out of my house. I wanted to get out of the house ever since my dad left. My dad left when I was around 15. Apparently, he had found another woman he loved, and "was destined to spend the rest of his life with her." BULL CRAP. My dad was a drunk, who could barely even say his own name. But of course, my mom never caught on to any of his habits, and was completely astonished, and heartbroken when he left. Me on the other hand, I couldn't careless what that no-good father did. So, anyways, now I'm here, living in NYC, chasing my dream. My dream, ever since I was a little girl, was to be on Broadway, and sing my heart out. I've always loved musicals, and it has always been my dream to see my name on a Broadway marquee. But the way things are turning out for me...I don't see it happening anytime soon. I have a small job at an off-Broadway show as a stage manager, which helps pay my rent, but other than that, I'm focusing on school until graduation , which Is thankfully, next weekend. I'm ready for school to be over, and for summer to finally start, after what seems like forever. This summer, I'm going to start really working on, and chasing my dream. It would also be great to finally have a summer romance. I've never been in a serious relationship. I've always dreamed of having one, but never really got around to it. I've been..."busy", well to be honest...I'm just not the relationship type. Boys don't like me. No one does really. I'm not the popular girl in school, or the lamest girl in school either. I just kind of float around, hoping no one will notice me. I try and keep my circle of friends small. My only real friends, are my theatre friends, but they're also not in the 'popular group'. But after graduation, I can finally start over, become someone new, and hopefully meet the love of my life.
