eighteen.
too fucking rich, honestly.

The pretty face the rich girls envy, the body the frat boys want to sleep with.

The queen bee of the school that no-one ever knows, is truly thinking.

A fierce personality, shrouded in beautiful words, rose-smelling perfume, gorgeous looks, and charming smiles.

Watch out for her. She's not only rich. But powerful in ways that could make you shake.

[ a slice of her mind ]

incredibly smart. can be kind at times, but even Angelica herself doesn't know if she is being genuine or subconsciously acting two-faced like her father. Her parents want her to be a marchioness, and take after the winery business that her mother had established, which she knows is important to her family's heritage.

Angelicas closest bonds are with her father, who, from a young age has taught her especially the value of saving face. And that everything is a step to gaining success. She has learnt diligently, making Angelica one of her father's greatest joys in life. Dating Aaron was the only choice she had made to disobey her father.

Angelica is interested in being a psychologist and deal especially with younger teens. she wants to be able to help young adults with drug abuse. partially an impact from seeing her best friend fall into abusing drugs. Plus she had a soft side for disadvantaged young teens despite not being much older than them.

She doesn't have close friends. Always has a group that comes around her. Has adjusted to working alone, but that is due to being forced to live independently and to use people her whole life. But, she has incredible social skills. Knows how to make people feel special and interesting. She is a natural charmer and has kept up her natural beauty flawlessly.

To the outside, she is perfect.

 But perfection comes with a price.

[ relationships ]

She has been close friends with Aaron for many years. She loved him back then when he was diligent and was proud of his work, even when his parents weren't. And the times they spent together, sneaking away from boring cocktail parties to lay under the stars, speaking freely and feeling young? She would look at his excited face as they lit up, telling her of the many constellations. She was going to tell him, soon, that she loved him. That was, until, during the summer before College, Aaron went completely off the radar for her. And when she saw him the following weeks before the first day of college, was when she saw his silver hair, weary and drugged up face, and a gang of frat boys behind him, she knew it was going to be bad.

The first thing that hit her, was the smell of weed. Then his voice, with his use of her beloved nickname, but with just the wrong tone and persona. It was like a stranger, with his voice, speaking to her. It made her skin crawl.

"Hey, Angie. Missed me?"

They came to an arrangement weeks after seeing each other again, to help keep him in the same house as his parents. She would date him, keep him in check. She, being the diligent student, was the only hope Aaron's parents had to help Aaron get over this "phase."

They are still dating to this day, however, Angelica has little feelings for him now. She is still trying to keep him under control, platonic love for her best friend still lingering in her heart.
