For Mady, You are enough.

I was floating into the clouds like a young boys balloon. My deep, chestnut hair flowed with wind as I let my eyes close softly. I let myself relax into the feeling of floating into oblivion. The wind up here was cool and gave me the feeling of melting and becoming one with the sky. Though my eyes were closed, it was if I could feel the cadmium yellow glow of the sun dancing on my pale skin. I didn't want to leave, I just wanted to float into the air and become apart of the earth's atmosphere...

"Wake up!" I heard a familiar voice call out to me. All of a sudden, I was plunged out of my dream and into reality. "Alicity, You have an exam today, and classes start in 5 minutes!" My roommate and sometimes the guy who helps me get my life together yelled at me. Hearing this, I jumped out of my bed and grabbed my school bag. I didn't bother to change or eat breakfast, I just lazily tied my hair into a messy bun and ran down the stairs and out the door of my apartment. However, all of that is just a typical morning for me.

Now, the hot mess I just described is me. Alicity Leighman. I'm an English and literature major student. My life isn't perfect. I stay up all night and wake up usually right before my classes start. I have a crappy relationship with my parents, but what can I say, they hate me. I'm not popular, I barley have any friends. But then again, isn't  everybody's life like that at one point? I know I'm not alone.

That guy who woke me up was my roommate, Ambrose Sato . He's a Mathematics major student. We're polar opposites, so I still don't know how we get along. He's hot, He's Japanese, all lot of ladies love him. All  lot of ladies but me. Me and Ambrose  get along like two peas, but I happen to be very, very into girls. However, that doesn't make my dating life anymore easier.

After graduating from University, my dream is too become a video game writer. I know, it sounds really stupid but It's a job. My relationship with my parents is so crappy because my parents want me to become a best selling Author and follow in the footsteps of my hotshot brother, Elias Leighman. He was a famous Author who was also my role model growing up. I thought the world of him, at least, up until he went missing a few months ago. No one knows what happened, he just... Disappeared. Into thin air almost.

I always thought that if I could just get some answers, something to tell me what happened to him, something to give me some closure, I could finally get some closure.

However, he's just gone. I still miss him, but he's distant, or maybe even, well, gone.

Despite this, I try to make it work. I live on cup noodles and Orange julius', but i'm fine with that. There's a lot of things I don't know about myself, but one thing I do know is that once I graduate I'll be a kick-ass writer.
