In their combined brain power of one brain cell, maybe even less, my guardians decided that the best course of action they could possibly take for their daughter was limiting friendships by forbidding close platonic or romantic relationships with boys. They loved to argue that they just didn't want me to end up like them, but I highly doubt a 5 year old was looking for anything other than a friend.
This obviously stunted my social growth and development, leaving me with little to no options for a friendship. Most girls were unlike me, especially in my hometown near the coast, most did have strict parents, such as my own but nowhere near as many pathetic rules.
Lucifer and I had a lot in common, or so my parents used to say. We both were God's favourite at one point but we were both evil underneath. I never knew and I never will know what fueled my parents hatred for me, whether it was entirely the fact they were in an unhappy marriage together because babies out of wedlock were considered sinful, or something of another nature. But I made sure to let them know the feeling was mutual.
Rebellion was always an option of course and I took that route. I decided I wasn't going to put up with them and their social depriving rules. I striked a friendship with a boy of a wealthy family, with a sister in my year who I promptly became friends with afterwards. This meant I could tell my parents I was going to see Thea but I was actually going to see both her and my best friend Skyve.
Skyve is a year older than me which deterred my parents from any suspicion towards the hang outs with Thea. Thea and Skyve didn't mind having the same friend and I made time to hang out with both of them. Their father became aware of my situation and swore to secrecy about the bond between me and Skyve. Personally I believe he just wanted his son to be dating another person of high prominence.
A child star many called me, I was well known to the media and I had developed an ever-growing fanbase of other kids online. Mothers would show my videos and clips to their children to teach them how to speak better and to just generally fangirl over my growth. A lot more was happening under the surface of my cheerful exterior.
As the years of school passed, me and Skyve entered highschool. I had been moved up a grade due to excelling above and beyond my fellow classmates and exceeding the national standard for greatness. The night we found out, I was showered with praise, comments online applauding my success so early on in my life, and most of all, I felt loved for the first time in years.
Together, me and Skyve were best friends, always around each other. By now my parents had abolished the no male friends rule, as they saw potential of more fame flowing in if I was to have a romantic partner of high importance in society, such as Skyve. I wasn't shy of having him over and eventually, I developed feelings for him. But I also was just discovering myself.
I've rambled on long enough, dredging about my miserable life and how no one ever liked me etcetera, you get the gist. From now on, you'll experience life through my eyes, a 13 year old, struggling to figure out who the hell they are. Merely confused and almost paralysed by their own thoughts.
