"The pretty girls always get the guys. Haven't you seen that, that all the really really pretty girls are always the ones who get all the guys.

All the average girls are left with boxes of chocolate and cats everywhere".

I threw down the book. "I am not going to read a mushy love story," I say with my nose turned up.

"Awww! Why not!! It's an amazing love story how the average girl gets the guy!" Ashley exclaimed.

"You may like that kind of thing, but that's not for me. I'm not going to read something that will never happen to me." I say while getting up.

"Ugh, you are so annoying." Ashley said. I just roll my eyes.

"At least I'm not hoping for something that will never happen, true love." Ashley got up and walked over to me.

"It may happen to you, it happened to your brother." I thought about my brother. He is married and has a kid on the way and he is grossly in love with his wife. He is the perfect child. He went to law school, got a job, and is successful in life. Me on the other hand, I don't want to go to the colleges my mom and dad want, and I don't listen to rules very well. And I want to pursue a stupid and pointless carrier. As my mother puts it, I want to be a art major. I want to go to New York and make art. Ashley's voice snapped me out of my day dream.

"Don't talk about my brother, he is grossly perfect." I say walking out of my room. I hear Ashley sigh and follow me. My mother and father were leaving.

"Renee, me and your father are going to the dinner we were talking about, we will be back late. Make yourself dinner here." My mother said to me.

"Alright." I say. My mother and father were always going to fancy dinners and what not. Because we are rich so why not show it off. I hated it, all the party's I had to go to because my family were the founders of this town. I was Renee Willow, Richard willows daughter. Everyone excepted me to be just as perfect as my family, and especially my brother. It's suffocating, all the judgement these people put out. That's why I want to leave and go to New York. I want to start my own studio and make art.

"Earth to Renee!" Ashley yelled snapping me out of my thoughts again. "You were zoning out again."

"Sorry" I say shaking my head, "I was thinking."

"Dozing off like always." Ashley said while getting her purse. "I'm going now, my mother is wanting me to help with the cooking for the party coming up." I looked up confused.

"What party?" I ask.

"The yearly founder party. The one you have to go to." Ashley said while walking to the door. I roll my eyes.

"Oh, that party." Ashley just laughs. I say goodbye to Ashley. Then ate something and head to bed.

Loud yelling woke me up, I turn and look at my clock, 3:00 am. The yelling continued, I sat up, walked to my door, open it and look out. My mother and father were yelling at each other.

"What do you want me to do!!" My mother yelled. "She doesn't listen! Not like her brother! She wants to run off to New York and ruin her life! She not her brother, and she will ruin the family name." I shut the door, with tears in my eyes. I had to shut the world out, I grabbed my paint and my music, I painted until the world was gone.
