Hello my name is Katie! I was seventeen years old and lived with my mother, Caroline and my younger brother, Chris. We always lived look like so happy but actually it didn't. Suddenly, we've got news that my grandma, Mary is being hospitalized and doesn't know who she is. Iam really upset why my mom doesn't tell me anything about her. In the same time, i feel very exhausted since all of my friends stay away from me especially Esme, my bestfriend. I know it is my fault since i kissed her last time but what should i do with this sucks feeling?? I can't tell anything to my mom since she wants me to be purrfect and best student. I just also can't tell to my dad since he lived with his new wife right now.

Only Mary who really understands me very well. She always can be reliable even i know she kinda have dementia's disease. She told me and chris about her young experience, how about she lived with my mom, how she have dad and older sisters, pat. I wanna know her very well since why my mom looks like really hates her to live with us? I am shocked when i know the truth that my mom grow up with Pat not my grandma. What the hell is that? I know there is something hidden with my mom and mary's past. Why she lies to me and chris about the truth one :(

I am very sad yeah since my mom forbid me to go to the school's party. I'm still asking myself why i always dreaming girls in my night? I try to having date with one of cute guy, Jamie but why Simona's face always hanging in my mind in these days? I can't talk to everyone. i'm really afraid that everyone will not accept me as the way i am. Iam not a perfect katie :')
