Let's run from the beginning though. Born in the 80's, an only child to this day with broke arse parents. Not that it ever mattered, I never wanted for anything, was an overachiever in primary school and completely oblivious to the problems in my family. Then I reached high school and was introduced to a completely different range of people, I grew up around the so-called "ghetto" and was accustomed to this kind of community, whereas this new school was in an upper class area and meant to be a pinnacle of education for the city. Over the years I realised that this wasn't the case, and slowly became disinterested in being an overachiever - merely achieving to secure my future.
I was never really interested in guys throughout most of high school, if anything, I was kind of a tomboy, in the early years we used to playfight and wear baggy clothes, although we were still in the process of giving up our dolls at the same time. Then, while my friends became addicted to make-up and clothes and plucking their eyebrows, I was just interested in chilling with my best friend and doing all those things that teenagers do (sans boys), like get drunk, try a spliff here or there and spending money we were given by our parents.
Then it changed, the time came where we discovered more and more people in our year at school, and inevitably that best friend that was never really interested in guys either, turned around and betrayed me for a boy! Ok well, no, she got a boyfriend... but the connection was never the same and I guess at that point I set out to do the same thing as her, find that connection with a boy. And therein, it begins.
