Paper Crown

Lola is a pathological liar. At least that's what her psychiatrist said. Her friendships never lasted for too long, actually, none of her relationships did. And every single time, it was her fault. She was trust-worthy, that was undeniable. Lola would never tell on you or anything. But she lied. All the time, and about the dumbest things too. She would say she failed her drivers licence twice before getting it, when she actually got it first try. She would say her ex-boyfriend had cancer and they broke up because he didn't want to hurt her, when she never even had a boyfriend. She would also say her dad was a journalist, who had been working in Irak for the past ten years, when he actually had just divorced her mother and went to live in Boston. Sometimes, she would lie so much she couldn't even tell which of her memories were real and which were not. One day she goes to the bathroom of her school's library, which no one ever uses, and meets Willhelm, sniffing rails of cocaine off a biology book. That was the beginning of her actual life. The life she will always remember to be true.
