Two girls stand up, and though they look tired, they smile. Formal introductions are made but they aren’t necessary. Tony and Lucas have told me so much about their girlfriends. I feel like I all ready know them. Chloe, has short brown hair, while Lizzy, has blonde hair that is pulled back in a messy ponytail. Lucas blows a kiss to Chloe, and Tony squeezes Lizzy's hand, before leading me down the hall.

Ten years ago I was accepted into a very prestigious private school in New York. Though the decision wasn’t easy for them., and the idea of their little girl living in the big city scared them, it was too good an opportunity to ignore. My mother's sister, Emily, took great care of me and I never had any regrets, until now.
