Prolouge

 I have always been walking alone. It is normal to me if no one notices me. Sometimes, I wonder why I was brought into this world, and sometimes even why I‘m alive. I feel nothing except pain, and all people bring to me is pain. I have no one except my family. Oh, my family. It feels like I don’t even have one. They no longer care about what I do, and, well, they basically ignore me and forget about me all the time. Sometimes I think I aren’t even a part of this neglecting family!

At school I get into tons of trouble: if teachers don’t leave me alone when I don’t want to work, I yell and curse at them. But that only prompts me to end up in detention. I always get to school late and class too. I don’t follow dress-code rules, and I definitely don’t listen to the teachers. People at school see me as the goth, trouble maker. The thing is, yeah, I am a trouble maker, but I am not goth, though I do dress up like one sometimes, I'll have to admit. I listen to rock and R&B, and I draw and write. I can sing and dance, but I don’t do it anymore. Oh, and before I forget, my name is Rachel Bliss. I am a brunette with blue eyes and tan skin. I have a tongue, belly button, and nose ring, and my whole left ear is pierced. I just thought you should know.

Even if no one notice me because I am new at a school, guys would kill for me. That is, until I start making trouble and doing weird things. Oh, and saying weird things really kills the mood too.

I am seventeen, and the best part is that this is my last year in high school. I have also just transferred to a new school, because my father has just transferred to another office.

We used to live in Georgia, and now we have moved all the way to North Carolina. Great. A new school, a new house, and best of all, a completely new life. Great, great. But I have a goal this time: I shall not push people away. Not this time. Yes, I am still going to be the same trouble maker that I've always been, and I will still dress the same. I shall just not say or do the stupid, weird stuff I used to do to push people away.

We finally arrive at the airport. The trip seemed to go on forever. But I am happy to be out of it. I push people out of my way as I run out of the airport after getting my bags, and I can hear people cursing and jeering at me as they drop their luggage. I don’t care. I just want some fresh air.

As the doors open, I step outside. Yep, it isn’t a dream, I am finally in North Carolina. It sucks, but I hate airplanes. I never want to travel again. This is also why I will never get into my dad’s profession: he travels to different countries every week, and I never see him. Yet I don’t see why he has an office if he is never there anyway. But right now, I don’t care: it is his office-transfer that has caused the move, and right now I can’t really say anything other than “Yuppie!” Yeah, that maybe sounds a bit silly, but there is nothing I’m going to miss about Georgia, and maybe it will be different here. God, I really hope so!

Your introduction to the main character Rachel is unique and I like it. Like George already mentioned, you did a great job giving the reader a detailed background on Rachel and also her looks - the nose ring and so on. Where is Rachel's mum? i will read on to chapter one. Well done.

[Sunny Skye]

I like the prolouge a lot and you did a really good job putting a lot of details in there.

[Sunny Skye]

I'm glad you like it. Thank you for reading, hopefully you'll read the rest. :D

[GeorgeQKaplan]

Your opening provides the reader with a good introduction to your heroine and enough background to understand her motivations. Your prologue encourages me to read more of your book. I picked your because my protagonist, Oogie, is also a girl who moved numerous times in her youth due to job transfers as yours does. It will be interesting to follow Rachel through her adventures.

[Sunny Skye]

Thank you. Hopefully you like the rest.

Great opening to a coming of age identity piece

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good chapter. Gave some history and description of life. Two side to all things. I went to 13 schools. Made me like to travel and never hold on to things too tightly. Thank you for a excellent opening chapter.

I really like the idea of a girl who moves to a different city and that her life is about to change completely. That said, I have an issue with the grammar and the punctuation... If you are interested I could proofread it for you and then send it to you?

[Sunny Skye]

[Amanda J. S.]

I can relate to this story. It feels like reading my story when I was younger. I had to move as well. I have enjoyed it so far. Thanks for sharing:)

[Sunny Skye]

[Ahmad Cox]

[Sunny Skye]

Wow i went to four, it sucks huh

[Sunny Skye]

I'm just hoping i'll stay on this same high school

[Ahmad Cox]

Yeah it really did. I always envied people that had stayed in the same place and had been able to make life long friends. I never stayed put long enough to form any lasting relationships

[Sunny Skye]
