Chapter 1 Hello
Hello,
My name is Elizabeth Katherine Montgomery, but everyone calls me Eliza and this is my story! If you have any questions or concerns along the way feel free to ask. I’ll do my best to explain everything to you wonderful readers!
I’m nothing special, just an odd girl with ordinary parent’s with ordinary jobs. The only thing special about me is my parents adopted me as a baby. However, my parent’s don’t know that I figured out I’m adopted. It wasn’t hard to figure out! Both Brian and Patricia have dark brown hair and brown eyes, while I have blonde hair that’s almost white and bright green eyes. They are short, just barely over five feet and heavyset. I’m six foot tall and have a muscled athletic build.
Oh goodness, in case you are wondering who Patricia and Brian are, well they are my adopted parents. Brian Thomas Montgomery (Dad) is a loan advisor at a bank. Patricia Susan Montgomery (Mom) is an accountant at a law firm. Like I said, pretty ordinary parents. We look nothing alike, and have nothing in common. They are both really good at math but it just gives me a headache. My parents are bookworms who graduated from high school valedictorian while I’m an athlete that graduated from high school with TWO sport scholarships. I guess the only thing you could say we have in common is they don’t understand me and I certainly don’t understand them.
Which is why I am sitting in the back of my parents Subaru on my way to a College that hadn’t even made my top ten list. It’s not a bad college, it’s actually a great college but I had wanted to chase my sport scholarships on the east coast. Yet, here I am on my way to Evergreen State College. That was as far away as I could manage to get my mom to agree on and even that took some convincing. I guess I didn’t mention yet that my mom tends to be a bit over protective. She wanted me to stay at home and go to a local University. With the help of the great Science department and declaring my major in Environmental Studies, I am moving roughly two hours away from my parents and I get to join the College’s basketball and soccer teams!
