The Girl With The Knee High Converse

You have heard of stories about
unrequited love. This is a story about a girl with an unrequited life. She
loved life even though she was tortured everyday by her peers. She wanted to
face every single day of her life with a bright smile even though she cried
herself to sleep. This girl acted so strong, but was weaker than glass. Still
all she ever wanted was for life to love her back. It didn’t though. Life seemed
to hate her with a passion.

One night takes everything away.
Everyone she has ever loved and everything that gave her a reason to smile are
gone. Poof. Like some sick magic trick. Her life was bad enough as it is and
now her ray of light has been stolen from her. Thing changed so fast that she
didn’t even have the time to blink. All she had left of them was her dyed red
hair and knee high converse sneakers she was gifted on her 13th birthday. She
is then shipped off to live with the aunt that has always hated her and blames
her for the whole thing. Just Great! 5 more years until she can leave with her
'disgraceful' red hair and her 'rebellious teenager' knee high converse.

Finally she's 18 and can leave the hell hole of a house. She has enough money
from her scholarships to attend a prestigious fashion and design school. Best
part? It’s far away from her memories and her lovely aunt. She is ready to
start afresh or at least start a year without carrying around the baggage from
her past. Who knows? Maybe luck will favor her this time. Or do what it always
does. Most likely life will be all puppies and rainbows for a little while and
then kick her in the face. All was fine for a bit, and then she runs into
people that will be that 'kick in the face' she was waiting for. How
surprising. NOT!
