I'm Sofia Laroche. The 17 year old who gets along with her family and has amazing parents and a little brother who admires her dearly. I live in Bemdji, Minnesota with Leech Lake as my backyard.
I have two bestfriends who are always there for me. There's Abel Levy who I've known all my life and Delaney Battle who I've known since fourth grade. I'm a lot closer to Abel than I am to Delaney but I love them both like they're my family.
It was remarkable that I remained friends with them for such a long time. I would say that we aren't that much different but we aren't that much alike either. I have long ombré hair going from light brown to blonde. I have plain brown eyes nothing special. I'm the captain of the soccer team , I get straight A's, I love reading and blogging and drinking tea. I'd rather stay home with my brother Matthew than go out to a party. Abel is more like an A/B student. He's such a gentlemen and he's definitely the nicest boy I've ever crossed paths with. He loves to skateboard and he taught me a few things about it. He's also sweet, funny, intelligent and I love his tattoos,his facial hair, the way he does his hair and ... Sorry I lost my train of thought. Where was I? Oh right, Abel. He's my bestfriend. Delaney is the co-captain of the cheer squad or team I'm not really sure what they call those things. She's also a straight A student. Getting A's secures her spot on the team. She's super gorgeous with long brown hair, light green eyes, straight teeth. Perfection. She would stand up for me when people made fun of me or called me out. We were all in of the student council. None of us were president or anything we were just...there. It was fun deciding the themes of dances or whatever.
We're all pretty known at Charleston HighSchool which isn't the best thing for me. People love to hate on me and pick on me about different things. They think they want my life and I think that they're stupid for even coming up with such things. They thinks boyfriend is the greatest guy ever. They call me a weirdo, nerd, loner, slut, all of the above. The weirdo and nerd part is true and maybe I'm a loner besides Abel and Delaney. But there is NO way I'm a slut! I still have the purity ring my granny gifts me with.
But anyways.
For the people at Charleston my life might sound pretty darn amazing, right? Wrong. My parents are always out of town working and Im literally raising Matthew. Yes, a seventeen year old raising a five year old ridiculous. But I can't forget my boyfriend Jake. Or as Matthew says 'Jake the Jerk.' It was one hundred percent true. Jake was mean and demanding and everything I don't like wrapped into one.
Why am I dating Jake when Im in love with Abel?

I know the prologue isn't that great but it's a prologue. It WILL get better, I promise.
I accept all criticism.
