The thing is, when my parents told me I was moving to Ireland with my cousin Liam, I knew luck was something that I didn't have.

I mean just look at my name: Effie. It's not even abbreviated from what the internet gave me. Not even short for a name that you can't pronounce. Nope I'm just Effie. 

''People with this name have a deep inner desire to use their abilities in leadership, and to have personal independence. They would rather focus on large, important issues, and delegate the details."

''People also with this name tend to be orderly and dedicated to building their lives on a solid foundation of order and service. They value truth, justice, and discipline, and may be quick-tempered with those who do not. Their practical nature makes them good at managing and saving money, and at building things in the material world. Because of their focus on order and practicality, they may seem overly cautious and conservative at times."

And okay it described me well, but while reading this it made me want to laugh because I don't have an inner desire to be a leader. I don't have discipline for stuff- yeah I do save money ,but it's because I worked hard for it. Hell! I don't participate with people of my age, I panick and make a fool of myself,

So when I found out I was moving with my long lost cousin Liam - which I didn't know existed and found out he had a lot of friends- it made me lock myself in my room and made me not want to come out.

I'm like a turtle, I hide behind my shell and don't come out until I feel better. I'm a shy girl, I've always kept to myself all these years. I don't have  friends, and I certainly don't have a boyfriend- never had one. In my twenty years of living here in this world, I've never had a boy look at me, let alone talk to me. I'm still a virgin and I'll like to keep it that way- until I find the right guy I guess.

I don't go clubbing, I don't drink, I don't smoke, and I certainly never gotten down on my knees. Period.

Liam on the other hand- well from what I heard from my parents- was that he didn't take his studies seriously and liked to have sex with anything that walks and breaths, nothing compared to me. He's 22 for crying out loud and for me, a twenty year old prune to go over there and put him back on track is sad.

''Effie Allegretti'' my mother screams from the living room.

''Coming mother'' I mumble.

I put my dyed hair in a pony tail, slip a sweatshirt from Harvard and make my way downstairs.

''Yes mother?'' I ask while I sit down on the couch across from my parents.

"Effie, you know that we love you right?'' my dad says.

I just nod in response and smile.

''We're doing this because Liam needs your help and we thought you were the perfect example for him'' my mom adds.

''But mom, I got accepted to Harvard and it's a full scholarship over there'' I say, ''all my hard work payed off, aren't you guys proud?''

''We are honey, we're so proud of you, but don't be selfish, think about Liam, he got accepted to the best university in Ireland and he screwed it up'' my mom scowls.

I put my head down and roll my eyes. They're always like this, I do something and it's not good enough for them.

I got all straight A's and it wasn't enough for them. I maintained a 4.0 GPA my whole life, it wasn't good enough for them. I was valedictorian on graduation day, they didn't go, because they were busy and I could've done better.
