I've always loved LA. The weather to me has always been perfect and there's so many places to explore. I didn't use to live here. We used to live in Colorado. Me and my dad moved here when i was 12 after my parents divorced so he could pursue his dream career, as a director. At the time, he was barely even known. But 6 years later, he's one of the most recognized directors.
Since he made a lot of money, he bought me whatever i wanted and we moved into a very big beach house on the beach. Everyday, i went swimming. My life was perfect. And then one day, that changed.

I was watching tv in the living room when my dad came in, wearing a red and plaid flannel top and khakis. He was carrying a black bag.
"I have to go to work now," he said, sipping from his cup of coffee, "i won't be home until late."
He began to leave until i remembered i had to ask him if i could go bowling.
"Wait," I yelled out as he was about to open the front door, "can i go bowling later?"
I hear him sigh.
"With who?" he asked sounding slightly annoyed.
"Stacy and some friends from school." i replied.
"Okay, just don't stay out too late. Be home by 10:30pm."
"But dad!" i said shocked, "why can't i stay out later? I'm 18!"
"Look, this is LA. It's dangerous. Just because you're 18 doesn't mean you don't have a curfew. I'll call the house phone at 11pm to check up on you." He said.
"Fine," i said, defeated.
He left after that. As soon as he did, i picked up my black Motorola Razr and called Stacy.
"Hello?" said Stacy sounding sleepy.
"Hey, Stace. When are we going bowling?" i asked her.
"Around 6 or 7," she said with a yawn.
"That means i'll only be able to hang out for only 4 hours," i said with a upset tone, "This isn't fair! My dad never lets me do anything. I'm almost a adult! I'm graduating in less than 2 months!! Why can't he just let me do whatever?"
"He probably is just really protective since he's gone a lot," said Stacy.
"You may be right. Oh well. I'll see you later. You're still driving right?" i asked.
"Duh. Who else would? You don't have your license yet. And you barely can even see without contacts or glasses," said Stacy.
"Okay, gee. You don't have to be such a jerk about it," i said.
"Blah, blah," she laughed.
I hear someone call her name and Stacy yells back at them.
"I have to go. My mom is making me clean the bathroom," she said with a disgusted tone.
"Gross," i said.
"Oh, it's beyond gross. When you live with 2 brothers, cleaning the bathroom is hell," she said. I laugh.
"Well, i'll let you take care of that, i said, "bye."
"Bye, Lo." she hanged up after that. I closed my flip phone and got up to eat some breakfast.
April 22nd, 2007, 5:33pm
As i was curling my long, dark brown and silky hair, my phone rang. I ran to my phone to answer it.
"Hello?" i said.
"Hey, it's Stacy. I'll be there at 6," said Stacy.
"Okay, i'm almost ready. See you in a little," i said.
"Alright," she said.
I closed my flip phone and got back to curling my hair. When i finished, i put in some contacts. I hated wearing my glasses around my friends. They made fun of me before about it. Next, i added some mascara (to make my eyelashes look longer) and some pink lipstick (to match my favorite pink summer dress)
I looked in my full body mirror in my room when i finished. I looked gorgeous. I gaped at how amazing i looked in my dress. I loved how the top was tight and the bottom was flowy. I loved how bouncy and pretty my curls were. I looked awesome!
Now i just needed to pick out some shoes. I picked out a pair of flats. I'll just bring some socks with me for later.
Finally, as soon as the clock hit 6, Stacy called me telling me she was outside waiting. I picked up my purse, swung it over my shoulder and ran down the stairs. Just as i was about to open the door, i realized i forgot my key. So i ran back up the stairs and got it off my dresser. I ran down the stairs a second time and finally opened the door. I locked it and ran to Stacy. She was sitting in her cherry red convertible.
"It's about time you came out. What were you doing?" she smiled and i immediately understand what she was implying.
"Stop being gross! I was just getting my key," i said as i got in on the passenger's side. She laughed.
"Alright," she said. She started to drive. I loved her car. I loved the feeling of my hair blowing in the wind. I sometimes imagined myself as a famous person just driving through the city. After a few minutes, we finally arrived at the bowling alley. The parking lot was almost completely full. They must be having some type of tournament tonight.
Me and her walked in. As i suspected, there was a tournament being held. We walked around looking for friends until we finally saw them sitting at a table. We ran over to them. We said hi to everyone and took a seat.
"So, how long do we have to wait to bowl?" i asked my other friend, Martin. He's a football jock.
"About 1 hour. That's what the staff told us," he replied.
What are we going to do now? I thought.
"Do you guys want to get something to eat?" Stacy asked.
"Sure," i replied.
"Okay," said mostly everyone else.
We all stood up and walked out the bowling alley.
"Who wants pizza?" asked Martin.
Everyone including me wanted pizza.
"Who's paying?" i asked them all. They looked at me like the answer was obvious.
"You are, duh," replied my friend Paige.
"I am?" I asked.
"Why wouldn't you? Your dad is super famous. And you have more money than all of us. Plus, you're like rich. I'm sure $20 wouldn't break you," said my other friend Tom.
"Alright. I guess i can pay," i mumbled.
They started to walk to the pizza place across the street. I lingered behind them with Stacy.
"Why are you letting them push you around?" asked Stacy.
"I'm not. They're right. I am rich. It's fine," i replied.
"Whatever, Lo. This is wrong," said Stacy.
Maybe she had a point. It was wrong that they thought since i was rich i had to pay. But it was too late. I couldn't argue anymore. I had to pay.
