"It's always the same, same everyday. I wake up, get ready, go to school, hang out in the library during lunch, talk to no one but my teachers, go home, eat dinner, have awkward conversations with my mom about why I came home early again and how I'm not a normal teenager with normal friends and normal teenage drama, help her with dishes in silence, head to my room to do my homework, read vampire novels, yaoi's and fan fictions til I go to sleep. Dream about being in a love triangle or whatever than end up waking up before the alarm clock every time. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Over and over again. For once I want to have friends, for once I want to be adventurous, rebellious, fall in love, for once I want those day dreams to become real. Well that's how it was before I met Cecil Makus, he had a dark aura about him when I first laid eyes on him. I saw him do some scary things... But at the time it didn't frighten me, because I craved it."
