Chapter 1. Seriously?

why it is a bad idea to look a teenager in a tower

 

This wasn’t the way I thought it would be, the beginning to my happily ever after. Who am i? My name is Rupunzel.  Yeah haha laugh.  I know that my name is funny. But my story isn’t.  You see I am the ward of an enchantress. I thought that was fine until she locked me up in a tower when I was twelve. Why did she lock me in a tower?  Because I was totally crushing on the farm boy down the street.

I know it’s a lame reason to lock someone in a tower. Oh yeah.  And it’s not a regular tower that everyone thinks about when they hear the word tower. It is my very own custom made grain silo in the middle of freaking nowhere. And I’m not allowed to leave. How lame is that? I can’t even sneak out because there is no door. Just a dumb window that my guardian climbs through every day to visit me. How does she climb up you ask? By my hair is how. We have a hook by the window that I wrap my annoyingly long hair around and I can only let it down when she uses her stupid little catch phrase. “Rupunzel! Rupunzel let down your hair to me!”  When was the last time she had a fat old lady climb up her hair? It is enough to make anyone cranky.

I had everything I needed. I had a huge bathroom with a nice shower, good mirrors and excellent lighting. I had a decent sized kitchen with the latest modern cooking technology. I had a personal gym with a swimming pool. It’s a silo: a tall circular building with levels and an elevator. I lived pretty high tech and comfortable. There was nothing to complain about there. But I was so lonely. I had all these things but I had no one to share them with.

 I was a regular teenage girl with teenage girl needs. I was so boy crazy because I knew boys before I was locked up. I wanted a boyfriend. I wanted girlfriends who I could do girl talk with and gossip about whose hair looked awful and whose clothes didn’t match. I wanted the romance and the heart break, the nights of chick flicks and ice cream.  But all I had was a cranky, mean old witch.

 But my story really isn’t about my life at home. It is about the day I found love, the time I felt lost and the things that I learned.

I like your twist on the story, making the story take place this day and time. what type of curses does the enchantress use, you need to be more pacific there.
