Dear Reader
Never set things in stone. Trust me.
I used to believe I had my last year of high school already planned out. Become the Student Council President, find love, show my dad what I can do, you know all the good stuff. But life is unpredictable.
For example, I never thought I'd meet the most irritating, blunt, and closed off woman in the world. Theresa Divine Marston, what a name right? Sounds angelic, until you realize she's actually a living demon-But then again, falling in love with her wasn't on my bingo card either, so who's to say?
The point is, I'm still trying to figure everything out. With elections near the horizon, and my ex of all people running against me, plus the added fact that I'm graduating which is a can of worms in itself.
For now, I just hope to find an answer soon. Because how am I expected to keep going, when I'm on the verge of losing everything?
...
Phew, that went into a turn didn't it? But anyhow, yeah that's about it.
Yours truly, Sebastian C. Knightly
