Entry One

To put it simply, I'm repellant.

Scratch that, there's nothing simple about that.

My name is Charlaine Hawkley. I'm one of the well-known Juniors at Finch High. Well-known, that is, in the sense of my reputation. I've never had a boyfriend, had a first kiss, had sex, or even been touched by any member of the male species; and EVERYONE in town knows it.

My dad died in a motorcycle accident 4 months before I was born - and not even 2 weeks after his funeral my mother remarried to Linda Graye, her ex-cell mate at the county jail. My parents were known weed-smokers, and when they got arrested everything changed for them. My father got out easy, being the alcoholic he was. Claimed to be under the influence and in the room with my mother while she chainsmoked her hours away. My mother is a different story. She found out she was pregnant the day after she landed in jail, and when my father got out early she was furious. From that moment foward she made a promise to herself to never let a man close enough to her to ruin her again. So she swore off the male species and dedicated herself to lesbianism. Thats when she met Linda. The two of them had a secret relationship throughout their entire stay. Linda had been arrested due to a false assault claim made against her by her conniving ex-girlfriend eight weeks prior.

Now I know what you're thinking: 'How does a 17-year old girl with ex-cons for parents keep her record so clean?' Trust me, I'm wondering the same thing. Maybe its because I have lesbian mothers, or because I'm a 5'10 redhead girl who rides skateboards and gives her cats belly-button shots...(wait, don't mention that to ANYONE else! My mother just thinks the cats are like that by nature!)

The point is, I'm repellant. Boy-repellant, girl-repellant. The only species I attract are alcoholic cats....

Or that was, until Matthew Danvers came to town
