Being independent in a sketchy city that crawls with crime tends to heighten your senses to an extreme.
And luckily for her, this became an advantage point. 

 Alex Bend, a 17 year old introvert, grew up just like most of you; bitterly disgusted in the world. 

This young teen found her home life quite dull. She lived with her single aunt who always found an excuse to do nothing and make Alex be her caretaker. This drove the young introvert away from the home and often times at a boxing match or at a gym.

After years of sneaking out to de stress by fighting, Alex's aunt caught on and figured she would teach the kid a lesson by signing her up for what she thought was a dissiplinary school. 

But what it turned out to be was so so much more

His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes. "No wonder Mom left! She probably couldn't bear to spend another second with-" I'm pushed to the floor.

I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it."
