30. WAKE UP
Your name is PACIFICA PINES.
Actually, it’s not, but sometimes at 3AM you really wish it was, because your parents are CERTIFIABLY HORRIBLE HUMAN BEINGS who have probably committed TAX FRAUD.
Let’s try again.
Your name is PACIFICA NORTHWEST. You are the sole heir to the VERY RICH and VERY FAMOUS and VERY POWERFUL family, the NORTHWEST FAMILY. You are 13 years old and you are a WELL TRAINED YOUNG MISTRESS.
You sit in your GRAND BEDROOM which would only be fit for the most RICHEST and SNOOTIEST of FAMILIES. Which you will admit your PARENTS are in fact, incredibly snooty.
Today is the 20th OF AUGUST, 2012. You will be attending the 150TH ANNUAL NORTHWEST FEST. Such an OCCASION could not be missed by the HEIR of the FAMILY and so you must attend, even though you despise it.
Not that you have much of a choice either way, of course. It is, after all, happening in the NORTHWEST MANOR, where you live, and your parents have made you show up every year since you were 5. This is old news.
The NORTHWEST FEST will open at 5:00 PM precisely. YOU are expected to be available at 9:00 AM for a dress rehearsal, in the form of a PRACTICE BRUNCH. Practice makes perfect.
(Don’t forget what happened last year.)
For now, it is time to get ready and HOPEFULLY you can stomach the day. Unfortunately for you, your DARLING MOTHER has laid out a dress for you on top of your dresser, and it is LAKEFOAM GREEN.
You do not like LAKEFOAM GREEN. In fact, you may even despise it.
In fact, that is a certainty- let's not mince words.
What now?
