I totally have a normal life with normal friends and look normal.

...........ha.

If I were to be normal then what kind of story would this be!

Boring!

Let me tell you why I'm totally NOT normal.

 I'm 16. My name is Quanya Charel and my absolute favorite animal is the raven.

Remember that because it will be important in the long run.

My parents are Blake and Emily Charel and we live in California. My parents are one of the most successful billionaires in the world sooooooo..... that makes me an heiress. Not only that, but as evidently shown being an heiress, it makes me different.

Heck, I have a pet zebra named Gustav!

But now, since I found out about the secret that was kept from me since I was born, I actually became weirder.

I didn't even know that was possible!!!

I should probably stop or I'll just ruin the whole story of our (you'll find out later) life for you.

Let's start with a few months ago.

Monday.

**********

I woke up automatically.

I have gotten so used to waking up at this hour that I am my own alarm clock while my real one just sits in the corner collecting dust.

I rolled out of bed and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth.

It's not pleasant to run with morning breath.

I take out my muscle shirt, jacket, and running shorts and changed quickly. I put on my favorite running shoes and placed my ipod in my pocket for later. I went down the stairs as quietly as I could and opened the door to the not yet risen sun.

Yes, I run before sunrise.

Yes, I point blank wake up before sunrise.

4 o'clock to be exact.

I like the idea of a reward to watch the rising sun greet you every morning. It's like a work of art that you can see everyday and any day you want to if only you would take the time to get up and see it.

Trust me, it really is worth it.

I started my route. I closed the gate behind me and turned left down the street. I have really good stamina. I sometimes think that I have more stamina than I.Q. points.

I go a full 6 miles before having to stop and rest a while.

I told you I had good stamina.

I saw a man walking his dog and both were staring at me; the dog growling while he looked at me.

Yeah, that doesn't spell creepy guy and demented dog.

I go back to running so I that wouldn't have to look at them anymore.
