My name is Erika Dalton and I'm 16 years old, I attend Madison Kate High school and I'm an only child. I have two best friends; Lana Greene and Sean Gomez. I'm single- although that piece of information isn't necessary, I just want you to know, in case, you're a boy, I mean, look at me- my mom and dad got divorced when I was 8 years old and I live with my dad- my mom is a drug addict- and his wife, Serena who he married when I was 10 years old. She adores me and she loves me like I'm her own and I do love her, even more than my mom.
My dad is a business man who deals in cars, he sells and buys cars like Lamborghini, Ferrari, Hyundai, Jeeps, sometimes, limousines and many others that I can't list. Serena is a Pediatrician and I love it when I'm sick, cause, I don't have to go to the hospital and during that period, Serena gives me anything I want and my daddy can't object then.
Oh, did I forget to tell you that my daddy is like probably the strictest (is this even a word?) father in the whole universe, except if there's someone out there worse than he is. He loves me, I know he does, people say so, Serena says so and Serena would never lie to me about something like that. She says that its because I lived about 8 years of my life with a drug addict as my mother and he didn't want me to end up like her, that was why he was always so strict so I wouldn't end up on the wrong path.
My friend Lana has been my best friend since I was two years old. Our mothers were friends, and are probably still friends, I don't really know since I don't see my mom anymore. She got a restraining order against me when she almost killed me when I was eight years old.
She was high on whatever it was and threw me over the railings of our balcony, for Gods sake, we were living in a 25 storey apartment complex and our flat was on the 17th floor. My high mother threw me over the balcony, breaking my left hand, right leg, two left ribcages, my neck and my nose.
Pretty much, right? Yeah I know.
I was in a coma for seven months, during this while, she was in jail and was told that if I die, she would be killed, pretty harsh right? Nope, not harsh at all.
For crying out loud, this woman wanted to KILL ME!
Well, all that's in the past, this is the future, now back to Lana. She's like the sister I never had, her home is practically my home too. Sometimes I'd go for a sleepover with clothes to last a week, because apparently, I plan on staying a week. Serena also loves her, she says she's so nice and friendly and its obvious she's always looking out for me.
Now, Lana and I aren't exactly alike, not facially, and certainly not character wise. I'm cool, calm and collected, I think before I talk - Lana, I hope you're not reading this - I think of the implication of my words before I voice them out. I'm timid and shy - no, they don't mean the same thing - I'm obedient and I'm probably the person with the widest smile at school, I make sure I smile at least fifty times an hour. Yes, its stressful, especially when I've just flunked a test or when I'm mad at dad, but I still try. The reason is because, I've gone through a lot and I'm still alive, so I have a reason to smile.
Now, Lana... OMG I can't start explaining, ok, to make it easier, Lana is the exact opposite of me. I smile, she frowns, I laugh, she growls, I giggle, she grumbles. Lana isn't a trouble maker, but she certainly isn't a gentle person, apparently living with eight tough older brothers for sixteen years, going to seventeen, certainly does something to a person, but in a way, I'm thankful for that. It makes you feel confident knowing you have one hell of a tough friend, always there to have your back. She's very reliable, though not as reliable as Sean.
Ah, Sean, the only guy among us. Serena says, he and I will end up together in future but I sure don't believe that. I mean, eeewwww, like, yuck. Sean has been my friend since the fifth grade, he's practically my brother, except he's a pervert.
Sean has seen me naked, lots and lots of times - which could have been avoided if only he'd knock before barging into my room - and has been with me through out my heartbreaks and break up. Lana isn't really someone you want to tell that your boyfriend cheated, she'll kill him first, before retuning to console you.
But Sean is more rational, he'll come over to my house, make me take a long, hot bath, wear shorts and a crop top and get into bed with a bowl of popcorn, Nutella Ice cream, a box of tissues and watch Netflix for two days straight (and I'm not exaggerating).
Oh did I forget to say that during this while, my best friend would only be in a pair of boxers and wouldn't go to school. After two days, we'd go sleep for another day, then when we awoke, we'd talk about it.
So that's all there is to know about my self, like I said, I'm quite shy so I don't really enjoy making friends.
Yeah, I forgot to tell you that once, I had a crush on Sean, I think I still do.

Hi guys.
This is the introduction of the book and I want you guys to know that this book wouldn't be written in first person basis, like this chapter, for instance, in "I's". This wouldn't be so with all the other chapters.
I just wanted to try something different from what I usually write and I really hope you guys like it.
This introductory chapter too isn't what I would normally start with, but when my head was burning with ideas for this book, this was the only way I could start.
I really hope you guys thoroughly enjoy this book and pls don't forget to vote, comment and share.
Thanks guys, Love ya all loads.
