Hi, my name is Amelia Tamina Swann, but everybody calls me Mia, and I'm a hopeless romantic, which means I've never been in love or been in a relationship before.
The last time I liked a guy was when I was 10 years old. I confess my feelings towards him but unfortunately he rejected me from the spot, and I was humiliated in front everyone who witnessed the whole thing.
I came home crying over the rejection and it broke my parents' hearts. From that day forward, I vowed myself to never find love again. I live sunny side city of Los Angeles, California, USA with my family.
My father, Arthur is a former U.S. marine in the army. My mother, Christina, or Tina as she prefers, is a retired olympian athlete and is now a works at home. I have 4 sisters and a brother, I'm the fifth child of the family.
My elder brother, Jack, who prefers me as his favourite sister, is a police sergeant and is engaged to his partner and colleague, Officer Maria Scott. They live half an hour away from us.
My oldest sister, Courtney is a doctor and is married to her high school sweetheart, Phillip Allan. They don't have children yet and they live an hour away from us.
My two older sisters, Katie and Josie, are fraternal twins, both of them are seniors in high school and both of them are dating the popular twin brothers from the school football team, Jason and Elijah.
My youngest sister, Lyla or Ly-Ly as she prefers, is the baby of the family and my favourite sister. All three of them and I still live with our parents.
Today I'm 17 years old and about to start my senior year in high school. At school, I'm not one of those popular girls, in fact I'm a bit of an outcast.
But I was lucky to have two amazing friends in my life. Margot and Araminta are cousins and my best friends, we've been friends since freshman year in high school and we've done everything together. Margot is a goth, whilst Araminta is a girly girl.
But when the two girls start seeing their new boyfriends, Antonio and TJ, I felt a bit lonely and yet sad, because all of my friends and siblings all have significant others, while I'm still single.
All I just wanted was to get through senior year, and head to Yale University after graduation and pursue a career to become a writer.
