Chapter One - Hey Everybody
Hi. My name is Fae Oakes and I am 18 years old. I have blue-black hair, naturally brown, and hazel eyes. I am quite a normal height for my age being only 5ft 7. I've also got the worst sight in the world and am quite podgy. I'm shy when I meet new people but once you get to know little old me, I'm random and a bit weird. I live in Western Sydney with my best friend Serena. Serena has ginger hair and hazel eyes. She is the loudest out of the two of us. She is incredibly hyperactive and funny. If you had seen us when we met aged 11, you would have thought we would never have become friends. She wore very girly attire whilst I was beginning my emo phase. That phase did not last long. I mean, I still wear band shirts and stuff but I'm not as 'edgy' as I used to be. When we began year 8 in Langton Comprehensive School, we both started to show our true colours. To show you guys what I mean, I'll compare us to Luke Hemmings and Michael Clifford. Serena was the quiet, innocent one who stayed in class and focused on school. However, I skipped class and did whatever I pleased. She never got detention and I beat the school record for most detentions in a year. The previous record was 100 but I got 120 detentions. I never did anything wrong, just skipped an awful lot of lessons and got caught. I also acted up with certain teachers. Once, locking one outside her classroom. THAT got me into a lot of detention. I didn't want to go to the detentions because I couldn't be bothered but one time that got me suspended for a couple of days. My parents were not pleased to say the least. Then, years 9,10 and 11 came. I started to mellow out and became horribly anxious and scared. Shit happened in my life that I'll disclose later in this story but let me tell you. I wouldn't wish what happened to me on anyone, including my enemies. I didn't skip lessons or act up and basically became boring as fuck. The teachers noticed and sent me to the school counsellor. She then sent me to a professional therapist who diagnosed me with Aspergers and PTSD from the traumatic events I have briefly alluded to. Serena and I became friends straight after that. It was nice having a relatively normal friend. Someone who actually saw me for who I was. We are both from Wales but we packed our bags and moved out here because we hated it. For us, Wales was bland and we felt like our music career was stagnant. Not to mention have you seen Welsh weather?! It's awful! Rain all the time and where I lived which was next to common land, you could smell the cows, horses and sheep that grazed from a mile away. We left recently so we have only been living here for about 2 months. The plane, the landing, the moving in was so amazing. We were so upset that we were stuck so my grandparents bought us a house as long as we got Australian citizenship so we have both Welsh and Australian citizenships which is insane. We had been planning this since we were sixteen so as soon as we had our citizenship, we left. I'd gotten a part time job working in a service station and Serena had a job as a waitress. My grandparents also sent over a monthly allowance. We live in a white, kind of large house. There are four bedrooms so Serena and I haven't shared bedrooms. The house has a swimming pool with a diving board which is awesome as I love swimming. Now onto bedrooms. My bedroom is painted white and has a cream carpet. At the far left of my room is my walk in closet and a white chest of drawers. Directly left of the door, I have a double bed that has sky blue covers and mint green pillows that's facing into the room. There is a pearl white desk with a comfy chair in front of my bed. There are drawers full of makeup and on the actual desk, there is a lot of crystals and my laptop. I also have an area that is specifically for songwriting. There is a piano and a guitar so I'm able to write whilst hiding away in my room. In the corner of my room, there is a cute cactus plant that I've called Kevin who sits by the window. Besides Kevin is a bedside table with a record player with a load of records under it. Serena's room is painted Caribbean blue. Her room is the same except it has lots of posters and her sheets are white. The guest bedrooms are all white and have light brown drawers. There are only two bathrooms. One is blue. Blue walls and blue tiles and it has a shower, sink and toilet. The other one has black and white tiles and black walls. It has a shower, bath, toilet and sink with a mirror. This is the one Serena and I tend to use. Our bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house and the bathrooms are right in the middle. The kitchen is fairly large and has enough food to last us a long time. We have the living room which has a large TV, comfy brown couches and a glass coffee table. Funny seeing as Serena completely dislikes coffee and I will only drink a mocha if we do pop into Starbucks but lately I've been enjoying it a lot more. We tend to keep some books and some peonies on there. Paintings adorn the walls. Scenic paintings as it inspires us. In the corner of the room sits a cupboard with our filming equipment. As you may be aware reader, that's a very abused cupboard. We are in a band called Amicorum. It is getting to quite a popular and by popular I mean we have over 18 million views and 1 million subscribers on YouTube. Our logo is a red heart that needed stitches. It has A and C carved into it. I designed it one night after I decided to form a band. Our influences are Green Day, All Time Low, Blink 182, Good Charlotte and 5 Seconds of Summer but I personally adore the Beatles. Paul McCartney and John Lennon's writing has kept me going. Our first upload was on December 24th 2013. We did it out of fun and it felt amazing. We never thought that we would end up where we were now. Being only 14 at the time and getting picked on tremendously for chasing our dreams. We wanted to push on and make this happen. I've always been the more musically creative one when it came to us two. Whilst Serena enjoys playing the guitar, I'll happily sit and write songs at the piano for hours. This is the story of my life. Will there be drama? Will there be love? Continue reading this book in order to find out. Enjoy the roller coaster that is my life.
