Annie's POV

Fairy tales are the stories people create to hide away the side of the world they don't want us to see. They don't want us to realize that no Prince Charming will suddenly realize we are his true love. They want to keep us away from this awful place called reality. My reality is what someone from the outside would call perfect and glamorous, assumptions are always made when I tell them my name. My family can be recognized for two things, my mothers law firm or my fathers surfing and snowboarding company. When I say that I'm Annie Hensley they automatically go, Coronado princess. I hate that. I really truly do. And so does my family, we of course like the luxury things but often try to hide a lot of wealth. This often goes poorly and we end up losing the second people see our house or cars. Sounds like a perfect life? Well it's not. You will learn that things aren't always as they appear but sometimes you need to look deeper and find what lies behind the stereotypical Coronado life.

I was sitting at the window sea and watching the waves crash thinking about the fact that love at first sight is not real and that no one can fall for looks but those are a bonus. When I am alone at times I choose to be deep and locked up but other times I'm exuberant and insane. I'm that girl at school that is the "most popular" because I'm fun to be around and having bucks is always a bonus to these who live around that. I heard my mom,

"Annie, time to go meet with the Morrison's!!" She was pretty far from my room but I could understand. I groaned and got up, grabbed my turquoise heels and slipped them on. My phone was plugged in so I unplugged it from its charger and saw that I had 14 texts and social media notifications. One caught my eye, my ex... His number was on the screen and not that this wasn't a shock, what it said was even a bigger shock.

From- Luke

"I'm going to be in Coronado this summer. I really want to make things better and the fact I didn't even get to explain hurts me every time it crosses my mind. Annie, please agreed to meet me on Friday. Our spot."

I stared blankly at this... He moved to Santa Monica mid year and that was going to end our relationship but what really screwed it up was one, his attitude and fast progression but what really ended it was when he cheated on me... With one of my best friends.

To Luke-

" i will have to think about it but don't plan on it too much. you didn't even call and try to explain."

It was delivered and I walked out my room shutting the door.

When I met the hall, I started walking down the stairs and saw my mom.

" Where's dad?" I asked

"He couldn't make it. He's stay at the place in LA. Heavy traffic up to like Santa Monica and he has some contracts to file." She smiled. My mom and I are like partners in crime, always having fun and having inside jokes about anything.

"Why are we even friends with the Morrison's?" I said looking at my feet as we walked to the car.

"We have been for along time and they're fun. Be nice to Jonathan please, he's in from Malibu." She looked at me

"Can't he go back?" I rolled my eyes. Jonathan is Lisa's son and Sierra is her daughter. Jonathan is a total douche, looks like a hot Hollister model and is a world class surfer at 14. Sierra is a volleyball player in Maine where she lives with her dad on their lake. She is a senior and I can't tell you how many times she's tried to set Jonathan and I up but well, I wanted that. But now, I'm so over that crush and have moved on... We got in the car and I automatically turned on the radio and Don't stop by 5sos played. Mom and I started talking and I realized we were headed to the country club. Ew. One of the many thing I hate about being a Hensley is we have to attend country clubs like its a church. All the time...
