'' Dinner's ready'' my mum called up to me.
Great. What excuse this time? I thought to myself.
My name is Catherine Pearce, I am 16 years old. My life hasn't been anything special, I mean nothing particularly exciting has ever happened to me. I have never met anyone famous, never won any special awards at school, never been chosen to read a poem infront of the class. I have been living, but that's it.
Well, until i met Ana.
Life was pretty great when i was younger. I loved school, loved life. I was careless and was enjoying myself like most children do. It was only when i was around 10 that things started to change, I don't exactly know why or what made me change, I just did.
I guess things slowly started to change when I started looking at magazines at home, the ones my mum would leave lying around in the living room. But something was odd, they all looked the same. I would often stare at the pile of glossy magazines i would collect up and notice how each girl on the magazine had particular things in common. They were all skinny, pretty, and wore alot make up. They were perfect.
It slowly became an obsession. Collecting magazines, cutting my favourite pictures out and comparing them to eachother. Analysing each of them to every little detail.
Then I met my bestfriend Ana, that was when things really started to change.
