Hi, my name is Lindsey and I'm going to tell you the story of my life. The interesting part of the story starts when I'm sixteen, the not-interesting part I'm not going to tell you. So, like I said, it all started when I was sixteen...

[ Flashback ]

I'm sitting at the dining table with my mom. Since a year, she and my dad are divorced and I live with her. Every other saturday I go see my dad and have diner with him. Than it's off to my mom again. Thank goodness I have a wonderful boyfriend, Kendall, who takes care of me and actually makes me feel pretty. He was two years older than me, but I didn't mind. After dinner, we were going to see the new movie with George Clooney.

"- So, how was your day?" Mom asks. It is friday, so I had to go to school today.

"- Great, Mrs. Simmons wasn't there, so we spend two hours building paper airplanes, cause we weren't aloud to leave the school. Someone fell from his chair while trying to throw one, it was so funny.

- Well, it seems you had fun.

- Hey mom, is it okay that I go out with Kendall this evening?

- Sure. What are you guys going to do?

- We are going to watch that new movie with George Clooney.

- Have fun. But first help with the dishes."

I do what she asks and then I get ready to leave. I first apply a little mascara, cause I looked tired and it would probably mask it a little. I jump into my car and drive to the movie theater. Kendall was already waiting for me outside. He kisses me by way of greeting.

"- Hey baby girl. Ready for the movie?

- Totally." We go into the theater. Kendall buys me some popcorn and a drink and holding hands we walk into the auditorium. The movie was amazing, not romantic and with a little bit action, but I still enjoyed it. Probably because I was around the most amazing boyfriend in history. When the movie ended, he takes me to a little café and we drink some coffée and discuss the movie.

"- So, what are your plans for tomorrow?

- I've got to go visit my dad. What about you?

- Nothing. That's why I ask you. Than we could do something together.

- I'd love too, but you know... I only get to see my dad every other weekend.

- I understand. You do know what it is next saturday don't you?

- Yes I do. It's our first anniversary. Don't worry, I have already devoted that day all to you.

- Okay. Cause I have a special surprise for you...

- Ooooohhh, what is it? Now you made me curious.

- But you'll have to wait till next week.

- I'm looking forward too it." I lean over the little table to kiss him. He's such a sweetheart. We drink up our drinks and he leads me to my car, where a huge make out session follows, but nothing else. He kisses me goodnight and I drive back home to my mom.

"- Hi honey, how was your date?

- Great. Kendall's such a sweetheart.

- Aren't you dating a year next week?

- Yes. It feels like it has been only a week or something.

- I'm happy to hear that. But go to bed now, you're dad picks you up at 9 AM tomorrow, so you better go get some sleep.

- Okay. Good night mom. Love you.

- Love you too honey. Sweet dreams." I walk upstairs to my bedroom. I take off my clothes, jump in a pyjama and then I go sleeping. I'm seeing my dad tomorrow and he has planned to go to the zoo. I don't mind where we go, I just want to see him. Sometimes I still hope he and my mom get back together. But my mom won't forgive him the cheating...
