Roller Coaster Summer

I'm Elena Ferrante. Before college, I never cried; I never got attached to anyone, never really even expressed my emotions to anyone. I had two amazing parents who were still in love with each other for over twenty years of marriage. My best friend, Summer, was heartbroken because of a stupid boy; though I did not agree with the relationship when it started, I had to be supportive. I never got involved with a boy in high school, too much drama and they always ended in heartbreak.

My family owned the Chocolate Box in Lambertville. Everyone knew us and loved my mom's chocolate. I was Linda Ferrante's daughter, possibly the best thing to be called in our little town. In high school, I was well-liked. I was never boy crazed like how some girls can be, I was focused on my studies. I needed to get accepted into a great college and create my own life outside of this quaint little town. I was not the typical blond-hair-blue-eyes, eighteen-year-old girl. My mom always called me her little adult. Everyone in school called me the "Untouchable Elena".

Basically everything changed once I met Jake Wilson at my cousin's wedding, but this can be explained more in depth. I hope you like roller coasters, because hold on for dear life.
