     I had always grown up with people doing things for me so being on my own was really confusing, I had managed to leave Los Angeles without being caught and ended up flying to Hawaii using a bit of the money my siblings gave me. They knew that I left but only because they were the ones who kept pushing me to get out of that life before I had to do any of my family's dirty work. That was the one and only time I listened to anyone in my life. See, I'm a rebel child and trouble is all I know. Even when I try to stay out of it, I always ended up getting dragged into it. When I was living in L.A, I absolutely loved to race. Whether it be drag races or motorcycle races, I had always placed first. I have always enjoyed a good fight which, I can thank my anger issues and the endless martial arts and boxing classes I was put into for self-defense. However, to my dismay, that just added to the multiple reasons of me needing to be looked after 24/7. Those are the reasons as to why me feeling alone in an unknown area is a bit overwhelming and even more scary than being in a gang family at the moment, however let me tell you how I overcame these feelings. 

My New Beginning

    Before I left L.A, I made sure everything was set up and ready for me by the moment I landed in Hawaii. My intentions for coming here were to change my life and attempt to become a "normal" 18-year-old. I had left L.A right before my Senior year in high school started, as I dreaded for my first day to come. I even managed to get me a place in a town in Kaneohe and enrolled myself into a high school called Castle High School, it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be considering the name but then again, it's still school so nothing is ever exciting. 

    In a quick decision, I took it upon myself to change everything about myself. From the way I dressed, to the way I acted, even to the way spoke. I changed it all in fear of being found by my parents. Although I had tried my best to be as innocent as possible to not cause any suspicions, but of course being the new girl in town I still drew attention to myself.
