What started off as a pretty normal day for me turned out to be the day I finally got my braces off, oh and also the world went to shit, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
As you might have figured out already, I'm Paris. My mothers name is Scarlet. She's the best and you can trust her with your life. She has always been there for me, even though it sometimes proves to be difficult for a single mother.
But anyway back to the day I got my braces off. This day could not have been more generic than a box of cornflakes, and if you don't believe me I'll tell you what happened...
I woke up and had breakfast with my Mom just like every other day since I've been alive. Then I rode my bike to school as per usual. You see I preferred to be green and save planet earth from all of these carbon emissions, but also I couldn't afford a car.
It sucks to be the only senior in the entire school who didn't have a car yet, even my bestfriend Miri had well.. A... Car... I guess you could call it.
She drove around in this 1980's van that looked like something out of "To catch a predator." I literally felt like abducting children whenever I sat in it. I shouldn't knock it though, it did the only job vehicles were supposed to do, get us from A to B.
