But you can call me Aria I don't like Armelle very much. My parents are Darren Hayes and Colby Taylor but they divorced 2 years ago. I always wondered why though.People say I look like my dad more than Mum. I'm actually in class right now waiting for the bell to ring. I tried to pass a note to my best but the teacher caught and I had to read it class. Girl I think I started my period for the first time and I need a pad! I said all embarrassed. Paisley hand me a pad I went to the toilet. Paisley is so gorgeous.
After class paisley and I were chatting.
What time does your dad want you home? She asked. Not till oh shit paisley my dad is gonna kill me,oh can I barrow money to buy pads I don't want to to tell my dad yet, I promise to pay you back. I exclaimed. No need wear best friends and here's some chocolate. She replied. Ow! I exclaimed. She handed panadol
And a water bottle. And I took the cable car to cvs. I love my backpack so much.I got panadol , pads and some chocolate.
I still hope Mum and Dad get back together. the divorce is hard on me and not knowing why and how! When I got home he wasn't home yet still busy.
