In less than 24 hours, I'll turn seventeen. Where girl should be treated as a princess. It's the age that girls hang out with their friends, having a boyfriend and a romantic date, do whatever they want to, and go to senior year party. Being sixteen is the worst year. Too old for doing childish things, but too young for adultery. So, I want to live my seventeen.
But that was just a dream. I'm different, I'm not like any others. That's what they told me. Who are they? I really want to tell you, but I can't. But, I can show you. My name is Aria Jensen.
