Those woods were once my worst fear; my greatest fear once had been him. He had been my first love. The first man to touch me, to make soft love to me. By far it remains the best I ever had with a man. He had away with me. Our long conversations could last for hours. The longing gaze in his eyes peering into my soul.
Yes, It's true I've been aware of pure darkness within him all along. For a while I overlooked it, observing the good side of him. Being young, stupid and so damn in love.
Sitting on my patio area overlooking the Portland skyline. Those days are long gone, enjoying a new sunrise with my warm cup of coffee. Feeling the soft spring breeze upon my face looking at the blank page on my laptop screen. It's past time to speak the truth. Tell the whole story. I spend time reflecting on what happened at Blue Bell Academy. What am I waiting for? I took a long deep breath. It's time!
My name is Audra" Calloway, Born on May 24, 1992. I've grown up in Portland Oregon's elite, a blueblood. My Father, Ronald, the most powerful and respected man in the city. Our family is one of the founding families of Portland. Our family's beautiful Italian architecture mansion was built around 1907, and it overlooked all of Portland's skyline. My mother, Penny, left while I was still a newborn. Telling my Dad, she didn't want to be a wife and a mother. Dad let her go with no fuss. Allowing Penny to leave with loads of money; my Dad had his daughter, and that was all he ever wanted from her. Also, he had his mother; my beloved Grandma Rosemary, helping him raise me. Everyone treated me like a princess. I was content living with my dad, my grandma Rosemary and my dog, Chester.
I went to Happy Valley Elementary School. There I met two of my lifelong best friends, twins, Ella and Riley Ellison. The three of us were always together. In school, I was the teacher's pet. An excellent student, love to learn. Some teachers I've had I didn't care for, I've overlooked that. No bullying went on in my school days, unlike like today. We all were friends and also kin to each other. My Dad gives me the best of everything and always took me anywhere he went.
I went to Ringcon Middle School, the home of the Bulldogs. I was involved in the school's many activities. There, I found my love and passion for writing. I became a part of the school newsletter. I was named the editor of the newsletter my 8th Grade year. Writing became my passion. I went out with Josh, the boy I played within the sandbox during pre-school. Josh gave me my first kiss; one night while walking to his home in downtown Portland. The kiss set off something that was missing inside me.
My grandma always told me stories of her high school days at Blue Bell Academy. Grandma held a particular fondness for her old school. "Audra, my girl, you're the right fit for the school." She urged me. It was a family tradition to go there, and everyone expected my Dad to send me to Blue Bell. Had I thought of attending there? In fact, I did all the time. Dreaming of that day I could enroll. I've googled Blue Bell, more often than I'd like to admit. Built in 1812 and opening the same year, Blue Bell quickly became one of the top boarding school in the US. Still, the school is hard to get into and only accepts the best. Even though I was a legacy, something else was at work; drawing me to Blue Bell.
One night my Dad and I were discussing the high school I will attend in the fall. Eating dinner at the best French Restaurant in Portland. I asked him if I could go to Blue Bell in the fall.
"Audra, I knew you've been dreaming about attending Blue Bell. Sweetheart, are you sure about attending Blue Bell? It's way back on the east coast! You might be homesick." He told me after a sip of his wine. Eyeing me while he does.
"Yeah, I know daddy, I won't get homesick. Grandma went to Blue Bell, and she made it. She loved her time there and graduated top of her class. Blue Bell is also a tradition in our family. It will prepare me for Dartmouth like we had planned. Oh, pretty please Dad!" I beg him.
"I can't argue with that! However, there is a wonderful private school right here, in the heart of Portland that matches Blue Bell, Portland's Ridge Academy. I went there, and I've hoped that someday you'd attend it. All your friends will be going there as well; you would be home with your grandma and me. I already put a call in for you began in the fall."
"Dad, I love you... I had set my heart on going to Blue Bell." I reply to him.
"Are you truly sure of attending Blue Bell, Audra?"
"Yes, I've carefully thought it out, Dad." I pointed out to him.
"How can I ever say no to my princess?" taking in a deep breath, letting out a side. "All right, Blue Bell it is. I'll put a call in for you to begin in the fall. Audra, you will be a shoo-in because of our family history there."
"Daddy, you are the best!" I exclaimed smiling at him.
