"Erin!"
"ERIN! Get out of bed! Your going to be late for your first day" 
Is all I hear as my eyelids flutter open, and as my body starts to wake up.
What a great way to start the day. 

"DON'T MAKE ME COME UP THERE ERIN!" 

"Fuck off mum" I mumble to myself.. 
I pull away the soft, warm bedcovers slowly, trying to take as long as I can to piss off my mum
 As swing my legs over to get up, I hear my door open 

"Morning Mitch, how did you sleep baby?" I coo to my little brother as he lazily walks over to sit on my bed with me

"I slept okay, I had another bad dream" 
As I pull him into a hug I see the dark black bags under his red, swollen eyes. 
No 10 year old should have to go through what my baby brother does. Nobody should. 

Hey I'm Erin, and this is the story of my life.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . . ***** After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
