Zoey Detch as Ava
Ava's Pov
"Mom, why are we even moving places in the first place?" I shouted from across the room packing another suitcase filled with cringy badass murderer movies.
I love Manhattan. Ever since I laid eyes in this cagey but oh so lovely world, my life has orbited around the buzz of this city. The thought of moving out has worried me. I am leaving behind my childhood, my friends and my memories past me.
Let me introduce myself. I am eighteen, 5'7 with a tan and curvy body. Moreover, I am the only child of my mother and my stepdad. I love to spend my time playing self-made tunes on the piano, studying criminal psychology and judging everybody passing by.
My friends binge -watch seasons whereas I like to binge- watch YouTube videos about 'how to study what they are thinking from face expressions'. No wonder why my friends tell me I am a mind reader. No, I'm no Edward Cullen. Hehe.
As I bid farewell to my childhood friends, I feel my eyes getting wet. 'Stay strong' I remind myself. So here is a recap of how my last week was spent before we took off for Ortona. Elsa and Raven are my two best friends. Despite being quite popular at school for my extra co-curricular activities (which include being the media president and cheerleader captain), I have managed to find only these two people as my only worthy friends. No, I am no Queen B. *inserts eye roll*
So, this past week was emotional and very hard for me. It mostly was packing stuff or selling it. My stepdad has been offered a pretty good job in Ortona, Italy which is a coastal town.
I might seem extroverted to everyone, however, I am a closed book. Letting people in has been a tough ride for me, I like to spend more me time.
Have you ever encountered solitude? It is calm, it is peaceful and it reminds me of my inner emptiness. Don't you just feel a little broken? Don't you just ever feel empty despite having everything you're thankful for, perhaps a missing connection with somebody or yourself. Sometimes I think, I really don't know myself.
Here is a question for you all, if I gave you a piece of paper and asked you to write down the names of people you trust- will you write yours? Because...I won't.
"ITALYYYY HERE WE COME!" my mother squealed with joy which almost got everybody in the plane to finally stop snoring.
Oh, mio Dio!
