Third move this year and here we are in Bloomdale Ohio. Why? well, my father, Caleb Connelly, is a Commander in the Military and like always he's been recalled to God knows what in Iraq. My mother, Shantell Connelly, is a vet. She loves animals and you would know so if you walked into our house. You know that expression, "It's raining cats and dogs" well in my house you would possibly think this expression is actually true because every time you turn around there's another pet looking straight into your eyes as if it's trying to see right through your soul. We have three dogs, Max, Lily and Jacob, four cats, Caspar, Miley, Nick and Layla (my personal favorite since I was about six years old) then we have five bunnies, two goldfish and two turtles named Bella and Gizzmo. I know what your thinking how could we possibly keep that many animals in such a house? Well we live in a mansion built for about thirty people to live in. Twelve rooms, eleven bathrooms, an extremely big back yard with a pool and hot tub the size of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's house. Yes we live in one of those houses with an extremely expensive security system that goes "BOOP, BOOP" every time someone comes near the gates or even tries to put in a pass code, which a lot of the kids around the area do just to tick us off. My name's Lexi Connelly, i'm a junior in high school in this new school called "Elmswood High." I don't really make friends easily i'm one of those girls who wear black pants, black shirts and those really heavy and very pigmented black combat boots that every girl is wearing now a days. I'm known as a "goth" I have been known as a "goth" since middle scool, I was called "Gothic Lexi." I consider myself as a depressed child, yes I know what your thinking why am I depressed, I live in a beautiful house, my parents are still together and I get everything I want when I want it. The truth is that, my best friend died two years ago of sickle cell lukemia and my grandmother died of alzhimers. Why should I believe that life is so great when it really isn't. Now i'm here in this dumb town where I know no one but my cousin Jaxon Connelly.
