7:00 am Aw, this sucks. I don't feel like going to school today. All these losers and morons are just taking away time from other kids. I just don't want to go because my crush, Julia Valdez, aka the Wonder Girl, is good at softball, and she can dance and sing. Oh, she's good at video games too. She's just beautiful and amazing; she has that curly black hair and those ocean blue eyes. I barely talk to her at school; our school is called Shiro Valley High, and we are both seniors. Her dream is to be a nurse. My dream is... uh, Nani, I don't really know exactly. I just want to get done with high school and make my mother proud; it's been a while since she passed away. I was 5 years old. Maybe I can find out more about her. Anyway, I just hope Julia will talk to me today. We're friends, but she flirts with me and tells me things she hears about me. What things have you heard? I barely have friends. Well, my best friend is Ian Pacheco, who is pretty weird. His taste in music and other things is interesting. Ian and I have been friends since elementary school. He was getting bullied, and I stepped in to help him out, so that's where our friendship began. Oh, and Ian has these dance moves that are dope for a guy who is weird. I would tell you more about me and other people, but I'll let it slide and tell you next time. As I was going to school, I saw something strange. There was this old guy with shaded glasses standing on the corner, saying something in Italian or Japanese to this old lady. I think she was 50 years old, but she looked like a Milf; she didn't look that old, and the old man looked like he was 50 too. I felt some weird presence there; it was crazy, but I felt like I knew these two people, which was surprisingly awkward. Anyway, those people are super weird and crazy-looking, but I guess they must have wanted something or were talking about something; they were really very similar to me. As a young adult, I feel that we have a connection, almost real, but I guess it's cool, so I don't know. The way I feel about my life is very complicated; my dad and brother are complete idiots, just morons. I'm just an 18-year-old guy who needs to live through his life trying to impress a girl who is his crush. My dad was telling me some crazy stuff about the mafia and how it started and ended. I was confused about why he was telling me this nonsense and saying that one day the mafia would come and take over people's lives. I was like, Dad; I don't give a damn about the mafia; the mafia can eat s**t for all I care. I am Renny Babino, or call me Ren or Benny. I don't care; just to let you know, the good part is coming up pretty soon. Just wait.
