Amelia's Closet

Prologue: The Ever Little, Evergreen

I'm always the girl who speaks of nothing but stands on something. I am raised in a conservative family with a bearing that if you won't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. So everywhere I go, I always keep my mouth shut and my heart tightly sealed. Even though my mind knows exactly what is right, my family's reputation is always a hindrance for me to voice out my feelings.

No, my family is not some kind of family who swims on money nor swims on fame. We're not even an intellectual family where the world's leading scientists and inventors gather. We're just a normal family in our little town. Though we're a bit upper in terms of reputation, it doesn't make us special.

Our little town is found in the upper west of the country. The town is so small that everyone you bump into knows you. And being in a family that has quite a reputation, it's kind of risky to do anything that won't please the crowd. Because it would immediately reach my parents' radar.

I woke up to the sound of an 80's song. The one that my mother listens to every morning. To be brutally honest I'm really tired of hearing that song. It's like our family's national anthem, our day just won't start without hearing that god forbidden song.

"Hey Amelia, honey it's time for breakfast." My mother, Sarah, said while knocking through my bedroom's door.

"Cominggg!~" I said while keeping the sweet tone I always use for my everyday life. Actually, I hate using it although it does have some advantages.

I grabbed my bra and put it on. Just in case there's a visitor downstairs. I hate wearing bra. Fuck the creator and manufacturers of bra all around the world. Females should be able to not wear bras but still feel secured.

Before I close my door I went to check if my closet's drawer is locked. Seeing it locked I slammed my bedroom door shut and headed towards our kitchen. As I was nearing our kitchen I can hear my parents talking and I can smell the veggie pancakes my mother always cooked for mondays. Oh shit, it's monday. First day of classes!

I grabbed a piece of pancake and took a sip from my morning tea. I bid goodbye to my parents and kissed them both on the cheeks, it's a family thing. I ran towards the door to see my best friend Mia Evanscence waiting.

"Hey! Ready for 11th grade?" She asked and rode her bicycle.
"Is that even a question?" I replied while riding my bicycle.

My name? Amelia Brooklyn. And welcome to my little world in Evergreen.
