"You're going to be perfect," whispered Mother. "You always have been, and you always will be." I looked up at her. I tried to smile, but I couldn't. I didn't want to be perfect. I wanted to be a normal girl with her normal friends. I had to stop that thought, though. I had no friends. After what I did, could I really blame them for turning their backs on me? No. I couldn't blame anyone. I looked back into my mother's eyes. Her cold, clear blue eyes.
There was one person I could blame. I was just too afraid to.
