I loVe you John (3/30/1994-10/15/2010)! You had best be waiting at the gates of Heaven, because when the band gets up there we are going to form a line and hit you for leaving us. John, you will be missed but never forgotten. I love you my fellow Sophmore, every competition from here on out is for you. My first book will be dedicated to you. (R.I.P John-Michael Thomas Small).

I am a 15 year old, Army Brat, girl who loves to write. I am also the oldest of 6 children (3 biological, 2 step, and 1 half). I have always liked the idea of creating stories using movies, books, animes,etc. I have actually been writing FanFictions for about 2 years now. I enjoy reading, playing my flute, annoying my friends, and being with my friends and family. I am on the verg of finishing 3 out of my 6 started novels (which takes forever let me tell you that) and I cannot wait to find a suitable publisher for them! My father is in Active Army and is stationed at Fort Stewart, GA. He has always read my stories and encouraged me to keep going on with it. My mother tells me to keep writing, because I love to do it. She reads all of my stories and tells me what I can do to fix them or what I should start over from scratch. If your sense of humor is twisted like mine, you like romance, and you love to laugh then some of my stories are the perfect match for you!

My best friend and sister is Sabrina, who is always there for me when I need help or someone to listen to me ramble on about absolutely nothing. Together we are working on several novels and fanfiction stories. Our first novel is currently almost ready for publishing! Both of us are very into writing fictional stories. She is one of the few people that talk to me because they like me and not because I am smart-ish. So are the people listed below.

My friend, Paula, is always telling me that I should be proud of what I do. We are in band together (she plays Mellophone and I play the Flute) so we are together ALOT! She loves to tell me that I am "Muy Caliente" (VERY HOT! *Sizzles*) but trust me she is not that way! Her boyfriend is my cousin so...yeah (she is DEFINATELY) straight! Paula is very supportive when it comes to my writings and just me in general (she wants you all to know that she calls me "Baby" and yes...she is weird). She is definately a true friend...even if she drives me bonkers.

Stephanie is a really good friend of mine that I can tell anything to. She is very good at keeping my secrets (even if she is a little awkward). To all of you that have friends that like to SCAR YOU FOR LIFE, then we get along just fine! Steph is definitley one of those girls. Also, she is VERY annoying (I would not love her any other way though). Trusting her and the rest of my friends is an easy thing to do, because they always have my back and visa versa.

Jennifer (Jen-Jen) is one of my closest friends in the book. Even though she is one of the youngest in the Sophmore Class, we are so close that it is not even funny. Jen is always there when I am down and will do absolutely anything to make me smile. Our first novel together is in the process of being typed up and then published!! She is also into writing Fictional Stories with me. Jennifer is probably the only one of my friends that is not scared to act that an idiot with me in public.

Carma (Carmiee) taught me everything I know today about playing the flute. She is a piccilo player. Without Carmiee, I would have had no clue how to come out of my shell (especially when it comes to meeting new people and or me making a fool out of myself in public). We are closer than most of the people that I have talked about. Both of us like to do the same things and she is actually the first person I go to when I need to talk/ need help.

Johhny is my best guy friend ever! Since we are in band together, we have gotten to know each other better than we did in Elementary School. I have this HUMUNGO crush on him and hopefully we will hook up sometime soon! ;D Johnny keeps me interested in doing what I love. PLaying my instrument, reading, and writing. Without his shoulder to cry on, I would not have gotten through the recent loss of my good friend (listed in first paragraph). He was strong not just for himself but for me and everyone else. (Those of you girls like a guy that can cry...well Johnny's the guy. *Pushes back screaming fan girls* Sorry..but he is mine! :D).
