83Okay, I'll tell you this flat out- I'm a rich little snob. It's not like I chose to be or anything. I mean, I can't help it if my family is loaded. We're one of the most prominent families in Boston. My father is a lawyer and my mother is an interior decorator for Calvin Klein or something like that. I have a sister named Claire. Ugh can you say freak? I swear we don't come from the same mother. My brother Carson goes to Yale-thank God we finally got him out of the house. I mean, it's not like I totally dislike my family, but they just weird me out sometimes. Come on, do you know any other household that plays family night bingo on Fridays? Right, exactly my point.
My mother always tells me that family bonding is just what we need to build a healthy relationship. Yeah-right mom, I swear the woman should be a shrink. No wonder my brother moved away when he had the chance. Did you ever see that movie Pleasantville? Where the family is perfect in every way? That's what my parents try to have our family be like, and God help them if they try to make me wear a poodle skirt and bobby socks.
You know, I'd like to say I'm pretty. In fact, I know I'm pretty. I have curly, dark brown hair that is always in perfect spirals. I'm quite tall- 5'7 to be exact. I weigh about 128 lbs. which is pretty good considering how tall I am. I really don't like to be compared to Britney Spears because I think she's a whore, but I'm shaped like her. My body is close to perfect if you can imagine. I guess I owe all my thanks to the 500-sit ups that I do like every day.
I'm a player. And I hate to say that, but I am. I think I've had about nine relationships in the past five months. But I need variety! Who in their right mind wants to go out with the same person for more than a few weeks? I know I don't, I get too sick of the guys I date. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not a slut or anything. In fact I've never done anything sexual in my life. I have morals you know. Well that's not really the main reason. It's just that, if I were to do something with a guy, it would be all around school the next morning and as much as I love publicity, that's just a little too much. I know the guys at my school and they love to talk. So therefore, anything sexual is out of the question- I have a reputation to protect.
I'll tell you this right now. I hate school. Seriously though, how is Trigonometry and American History going to help me in the real world? And you know what else really pisses me off? You go to school for like eight hours a day, working your ass off non stop, and teachers still have the balls to give you homework when you come home! Can you believe that? It has to be a conspiracy or something. I enjoy nothing more than to wake up at the ass crack of dawn, get dressed in my beautiful designer clothes, go to school and sweat like a pig, and come home and do even more work. Yeah, that really makes my day. I swear, a private tutor would be so much easier.
But of course, mom says no. She was talking the other night about learning to live with student civilization or some bullshit like that. I was too busy manicuring my nails to listen. Whatever mom, keep trying to convince yourself that you're a psychiatrist. Then she yells at me for not paying attention and says that if I worried half as much about school as I did about my looks then I'd have so much more going for me. Oh please, I don't need your lectures. I get enough of them from my teachers.
Let's see, I've wracked up about ten Saturday detentions in two months. Pretty hilarious isn't it? I can't help it if I walk into class late on account of oversleeping and having to make myself look presentable in the morning. Well, I did come in two hours late but that's because I had to pick out the perfect outfit and coordinate my make-up, shoes, and nail polish with it. God I told my teachers I was having a crisis and that's why I was late. But of course they didn't buy it. If I thought I was having a fashion emergency, I should have taken a good look at them. Where do they get their clothes? Moo-moo's are definitely not at the top of my fashion A- list.
Do you have that girl in your school that's head cheerleader, president of student council and most eligible candidate for prom queen? Yup, that's me. First off, cheerleading is my life. I've been in over thirty competitions and thanks to me, we've won almost every time. My whole bedroom is a cheerleading shrine. Not to mention the abundant amount of pom pom's that are stuffed in my closet. After every competition, along with a team trophy, we get to keep our pom pom's as sort of a keepsake thing. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not being ungrateful or anything, but after a while they just add up until you really just want to chuck them out a window or something.
I've been a member of student council all through high school. This being my senior year, I've finally been elected President. I knew I was going to get the majority vote. Everybody loves me, why wouldn't they vote for me? I'm a nice girl. Not that running against Alexia Jacobs was going to be easy. The girl is one of my best friends but we still have that rivalry thing going on. She was up for head cheerleader, but I got it instead. And then she lost at student council votes. Now it's prom queen-which I'm sure to whoop her ass at too.
I keep asking myself who the lucky candidate is to be my date for prom. I honestly don't know. For once, I don't have a boyfriend. It seems strange, but I guess nobody has struck my interest yet. Usually I have guys falling all over me. . . and I guess they have been but I just don't feel like paying enough attention to realize it. I have more important things to do rather than worry about guys. Okay, maybe I don't. But still they're just pigs who want sex all the time. Prom isn't for another 5 months and I'll most likely find someone by then. In fact, I don't have a doubt in my mind about finding a date.
My life seems pretty perfect, right? HAH, could you be any more wrong? Yup you most surely can. My life DID seem perfect a short while ago. I didn't have a care in the world. Yeah I was in for a rude awakening.
My name is Amber Daniels. Welcome to my life.
