my name is nick i’m 16 years old and i live with my parents in our small apartment in the middle of a big city. we used to have money but then my father developed some ‘habits’ and we went bankrupt… fucking shit heads. i hated my family. i hated my life. that is until i met her.

this girl. this angel. she was all I’ve ever dreamed about and then some. she was the most beautiful women ive ever seen. i made it my goal to be with her. her name was Amber, she was in my school when we first met. i guess we had met before then because our parents knew each other very well. neither of us knew it but our parents were part of a cult. at the time i didn’t think of my parents as such monsters as they are to me today. they partly ruined my life… but they helped me so much in the long run.

it all started when i was 14 i had moved to a big city with my mother and father, they said ‘it would be better for me’ that’s what they say when they want something… i don’t think they really wanted it, i think they were told they wanted it and they believe what was told to them. anyway i was just about to leave my apartment building when i bumped into her the first thing i notice was her long silky black hair and her colorless makeup that helped hide the beauty that she never wanted to show me, or anyone for that matter.
“oh sorry…” i stuttered as i bent down to help her pick up her things for school
“oh its no big deal its kind of my…” she stopped when she looked me in the eye. we both stopped everything, its like the world had started to get slower and everyone around us had stopped.
“…fault” she finished without breaking the gaze we had both started. we just stayed there for another minute and then she hopped up and just like that, she was gone. I’ve never met a girl like this. i was still a young teenage boy who had no care for love. i was just looking to be the first in my group to lose my virginity. me and my group. id hardly call it that. we were all just a bunch of idiots who didn’t care for school. we didn’t care if the teachers caught us smoking weed behind the school. we really didn’t care when one of the teachers called the police on us. all we did was walk away like there was nothing wrong.

after running into Amber all i could think about was her. she was so beautiful… but she was definantly out of my league. she was one of the popular girls with lots of friends and lots of money. i was just another guy she ran into on the streets. i didn’t even think she knew i was in this school let alone an of her classes. we actually had every class together except P.E. because they were separated by sex. i didn’t think that she knew i even existed but one day that opinion was completely altered when she approached me in the hall between classes. it was all a blur when it happened. one moment i’m at my locker listening to one of my friends babble on about some movie he saw the other day. the next shes standing right in front of me looking me strait in the eye, then she kissed me. that was all she put a piece of paper in my hoodie pocket and then she was gone again. just like that. she was a very mysterious girl.

right after she vanished all i could think about was her and what she had just put in my pocket…
