The Side Stories of A.Marcellus #1

Hello, hello. My name is Alexis Marcellus or as I prefer, Miss A. Marcellus. Only those close to me can call me by a nickname.

At the end of last year most people I knew had hopped on a plane a flew far away. (But, don't misinterpret that as a reflection of my personality.) So what does Miss A. Marcellus do when she no longer has to listen politely (as best friend's do) to the ups and downs of Alice's love life? I'll tell you what she does. She spends the special holidays with her family then she goes and shops for several days with her mother. "It's always a good time for mother-daughter bonding," I say. I also had a need. A need for a new look, I could feel the 'old of last year' clinging to my skin. So, when someone needs something, the logical thing is to get that something. I cut my once long, black and thick (too thick more like) hair to a new "completely different" short, thinner, light brown streaked look. Out with the old, in with the new; I changed my perfume, rearranged my bedroom and wore more mascara then "conservative" girls.

Now, enough of that little side story of my life, more about Alice and the group. If you have not already picked up, I'm Alice's best friend. Also, I'm one of the only people in the group not madly in love with someone. It's not that I hate men or am some closet lesbian, heavens no! It's just that too many feminist influences in my life have lead me to believe the majority of heterosexual men are no-more emotionally intelligent than that of a single cell nucleus. Or as more popularly phrased, "Most men are idiots." Of course there are exceptions (eg. my male friends and family members). Alice and I have been in the same class for around maybe five years? Oh dear, I'm no good with counting years. If we end up in the same class this year, I'm fairly certain it will be six. Anyway, my side stories will very boring as I have no perusal for a huge romantic love life. I could always blatantly lie to stir the pot and say that I was head over heels in love with Justin or Zac! Maybe even in love with them both at the same time! Ha! That would be a laughing riot!

I'll be sure to return,
Miss A. Marcellus.
