A wise fool once said 'the heart wants what it wants'. Unfortunately, no one told me that sometimes, what the heart wants could be the only missing piece of a recipe for disaster. Maybe I wouldn't have listened; then we would have made it out unscathed. But there was no way to avoid it. I was in love with my principal. Heart, mind, body and soul. How do I say no to that?

Azania Wyatt is an 18 year old high school senior, who has had everything at the drop of a hat. She is daddy's little girl and has some underlying issues from her childhood that she keeps dead and buried.

Anthony also just so happens to be the brother of Azania's godfather. And he is seemingly the only person who can see beneath Azania's fake facade.

"I mean, the lad plays some sickening rugby sure, but he was always such a douche. I used to pray for the scales on our daughter's eyes to fall off and see him for the prick he is, but I had to wait 3 full years." He says, surprising me as he shares a raucous laugh with my mom.

My mom bursts out laughing, spitting some wine onto the hand she used to cover her mouth and starts to cough as the liquid goes down the wrong pipe. Dad leans over and pats her back as he too laughs, and it is all I can do but coo at the pair of them.
