A Not so Teen Halloween

INTRODUCTION

           Hi and hola, my name is Alessia Fiore I am a 17 year old Hispanic girl from California. I moved to New York when I was 10 so no I don't have a New York accent.  I am your boring typical bookworm with the attitude of a teenage girl. Obviously I don't take anyone's shit, but I mostly stay quiet.

          My dad left my mom when I was a baby and it's been really hard on us but my mom does her best. I am an only child since my mom decided men are trash and don't deserve her, she refuses to have more kids with any seeing as they're all "pinche pendejos". 

           Anyways My mom never let me go to sleepovers with the other girls or go to the mall alone, and all my life has felt like a prison cell with "mi madre" as my warden.

           I knew that if I kept it going like this I would never have my first kiss or be invited to a high school party like the ones in the movies. I knew I had to change something but I was too scared, trust me you do not want to mess with my Mexican mom. However I did do something, something I never thought would come out. I had a secret and if I was caught my whole life could be ruined.

          When I first moved to New York I met my bestfriend Emmara she's basically the opposite of me; rich, outgoing, fun, and athletic. Currently she's the captain of the girls varsity soccer team and I'm her number one supporter. She is honestly the best person I know besides myself and If I hadn't met her I would probably get bullied by Olivia Stone and don't even get me started on that snake or "vibora" as my mom would say. 

           Emmara was popular and I always felt like a shadow but she never made me feel that way, in fact she would blow anyone off just to hang out with me and seeing how she was my only friend I couldn't do the same. Em lived in the upper-east side in this sick penthouse but did not get along with any of the spoiled rich kids, ironically she hated them so she begged her dad to go to a public school, where she met moi. I live in Brooklyn in a run-down apartment complex where I'm pretty sure drug deals go down but I don't question it.

          Our school was a nice public school, nicer than most in New York. My mom lied about where we lived so that I could attend since its where Emmara was going. I'm pretty sure she thought if we got separated I would die. Which looking back I could see why...

         Halloween is coming up soon, and it is my favorite day in the whole year. It's the day that could either ruin my life or be the best day of my life. Every Halloween ever since I was fifteen and 2 certain cherries and peaches sprouted I started to live a double life. They say Halloween is the one day you can pretend to be someone you're not, so that's exactly what I do. 

          I met with pepe our resident drug dealer and asked him where I could get a fake ID and he gladly obliged seeing as I had the money and all. I worked a part time job at a café down the street and babysat Mrs. Garcia's kids all summer while she put in extra shifts at the hospital. If my mom ever found out I did the things I do she would have a heart attack. 

          Now that you know a bit of background lets begin with the day things began to change.

Hi from the author, I hope you enjoy this story. I wrote the intro and first chapter at 4am and will write about 1,700 words per chapter for 30 chapters.
