"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

Everyone has that moment when something--or someone--makes a difference in your life. That moment may not completely flip your world, but it may change your perspective of life or even yourself as a person. I, Aurora Rosenburg, had my life completely flipped upside down. And it was all because of my 20th birthday and best friend. Back when it all happened, I believed it was a curse put upon me, but I now believe is was a blessing--not all life changing moments are bad.

Hey guyss! Alright so,..this is the official The American Dream: The NOVEL. I consider "An Urban Story: The American Dream" more like the prologue to this all. It's a short story so it introduced you to the character's and sort of gave the back drop of how they even got to this point...so if you haven't ready that...I highly recommend that you do because it'll give you a better understanding (link below). I've been trying so hard to perfect it, but I don't wanna keep y'all waiting so I just posted a simple chapter and i'll try to update this everyday if I can.. I look forward to seeing your feedback and opinions. I hope you enjoy this..it will be long..keep in mind that this is a marathon now and not a sprint so give it a chance :) Part 1 http://www.wattpad.com/story/6521374-an-urban-story-the-american-dream Happy Reading! - Tee Da Boss

Romelo August The 23-year old man who was never wanted. Always had a life of struggle, but still had a caring heart. He put people who didn't care about him before himself, and was always left behind. Everyone he thought that cared about him, left and didn't look back. His family and friends left him in the streets and was never heard from again. The man is now homeless, and hides from everyone. He stays in a dark abandoned building, and sits in a window all day, and watch people lurk the busy streets. He hardly eats, making himself extremely skinny. He never leaves the building, only at night to look for food to where his stomach has been starved for the longest. He sits in a dark cold room, by himself, wondering why was he treated so poorly? Why didn't anyone like him? Why didn't anyone love him? Romelo wanted a lot of things, but what he needed was someone to love and take care of him. He needed help. Larraé Whitman The 23-year old that found Romelo.
