The bodyguard's niece

Prologe

"your going to stay with your uncle Paul this summer." That one sentence my mom spoke was the one thing I never wanted to hear in my entire life. Paul wasn't even really my uncle he was my mom's uncle. She excepts me to be super close with him because he's like her second father. It's not excatly my fault he lives back in Ireland while she moved the two of us to Canada. Plus is it really that big of a deal that i'm not close with my great uncle, most 17-year-old's don't even know their extended family.

I'm surprised my mom even has time to talk to Paul considering the past year it feels like she barley acknowledges me existence. I mean don't get me wrong i love her and i know she loves me but every since she got promoted and a new boyfriend it seems like I'm not as important anymore. A lot of the time i'm just at home by myself in my favorite Roots track pants (SOO COMFY btw) and a big hoodie watching movies and doing homework or i'm with my best friend Nicole.

Nicole and I have been friends since 4th grade and have gotten closer in high school. Nicole is a total country girl minus the accent. All she talks about and loves to do it hunting and fishing but what she loves the most is her cowboy boots. She's amazing and supportive, she's able to brighten even my worst days by just giving me a smile. But we are way more than just best friends we are more like sister constantly joined at the hip. If she's away from school i always get asked. "Where's your other half Ally?"

I just realized i have told you what feels like my life story and i haven't even told you my name. I'm Alison Higgins a 17-year-old girl who lives in a small town just north of Toronto, Canada. I'm 5'6 have short but extremley thick blonde hair, blue eyes and i wear glasses. I'm so not a girly girl I love my sweates, track pants, hoodies and soccer shorts. I'm pretty lazy except for when it comes to soccer that is my passion and i can't get enough. And most importantly i'm not at all intrested in spending my summer without my best friend and with my great uncle that i barley know.
