Chapter 01 | Hi There

I guess you could say my life is going pretty okay right now, emphasis on word okay.

Some could say I'll get the happy ending I desired and others could say I won't. So you see I'm gonna be narrating this story in the perspective of a troubled 17-year-old girl going through her senior year at high school.

That sir is exactly who I am, my name is Kira Wilson, as you know by now I'm 17 and as said by teachers and councilors, a troubled kid. I go to therapy on Mondays after school and my therapist Jane says that if I write my thoughts and feelings down or tell someone I'll feel majorly better.

So join me as we go up and down the turns of the roller coaster which is my messed up teen life. Enjoy.

"Kira, wake up!" I sighed as I heard my little brother, luke's voice ring through the air.

I cracked one eye open to see him impatiently standing on the other side of the bed tapping his foot. "Wake up before I call mom" he complained.

You see my brother is seriously annoying, but after living with him for 15 years I have learned how to cope with him, a little.

As I walked down I remembered I had to take out the garbage otherwise I couldn't go to the twin's party. Adam and Drew parker, they should be awarded history's most mischievous twins.

They're the type of guys who get in detention twice a day for doing something foolish, the type of guys who teachers despise. So now you'll be thinking, oh they must be such loners, I wish.

They're the school's biggest pranksters and if you don't know them you live under a rock. I've known them since the age of two so that's one problem eliminated. We're the type of kids who used to have bubble baths together and do other cheesy stuff.

When I finally sat down to eat the tower of pancakes on my plate, I heard a bus honk a horn, which implied that I have to get my cheap ass out of the house and into the bus, otherwise they leave without me and my brother which would be a problem.

"Sorry mom I got to go, the bus is here" as I shouldered my bag full of books and pulled Luke out of the door. The last thing I thought of after the door closed was farewell pancakes.

"Why don't you ask your parents for a car on your birthday." My best friend Victoria says. Her older brother Jake drives her to school every day because his college was close by.

I used to go with Victoria when we were younger but since she moved somewhere far away, we don't go together anymore.

Victoria and I became friends in the sixth grade after we were made lab partners in chemistry. Since then we've been best friends.

The day went like usual. The first period was Geography, followed by break then chemistry, a period of math, French, lunch English and physics. School ended like it always did which was me going to the locker and dumping things I didn't need inside. Next going to the basketball court and waiting for Luke to finish his basketball practice so we could go home or me going to therapy if it's Monday.
