Prologue
Effie.
The lines are getting blurred and it’s hard to go from one to the other. I knew I was different now.
It had been 3 long years of playing the game, keeping one life from the other. It’s a game I was winning, but I was getting bored. Bored of pretending, of having to pretend. But I couldn’t stop, not now.
I was so close to the end. One more year here and then it was decision time. I have two versions and different things are expected from each one.
In the beginning it was about changing because I wanted to. I needed a break from the person I was expected to be and I wanted to have some fun. Now I’m not even really sure if I ended up being a person I wanted to be or a person other people wanted to be.
Yet again ruled by everyone’s expectations. But this year is going to be different! I need to find out what I want.
And I’m over caring about who I hurt in the process.
