The Secret

       I have a secret.  It's not your typical high school girls secret, like who you have a crush on, or how you were out past your curfew. No, mine was far worse, something you could never even imagine.

    My name is Elizabeth Laven.  I attend Rolander Academy, a private school in the San Diego.  I'm a freshman there.  Now, what I did was very bad and inexcusable, but it's what lead up to it that pressured me into doing it.  I go to a private school, so you must think I'm rolling in money.  Haha, wrong!  The only reason I'm at Rolander is because my mom is an assistant teacher there.

    I don't wear the same clothes as the rest of the girls, and my parents don't own a Porche or Maserati either.  Bummer, huh?  I receive alot of klunk for that.  People tell me I shouldn't be enrolled here, that the only reason I'm at this school is because my mom works here.  Which is true, but I would never admit that to them. 

    At school, I don't have many friends.  In fact, I only have one.  His name is Dustin Helfer.  He isn't like the rest of them.  Snobby rich kids who get everything they want.  He is so thoughtful and considerate.  I don't want you to get the wrong idea, we're just friends.  I just count my blessings each day, and am so glad and lucky to have a friend like Dustin in my life!   Honestly, if I didn't have him I probably would have turned myself in because I wouldn't be able to deal with the guilt alone.  Maybe he shares a piece of this horrific secret.
