Upper East Side

spoiled, yet sweet, and she was the funniest person you’d ever meet. She lived in the richest part of Upper East Side, New York, with her parents. Her house was made of stone and had the prettiest detailing. Her yard was always freshly cut with flowers at full bloom. Inside big and beautiful, as well and had too many bedrooms to count. She had a perfect view of New York outside her bedroom window. She had a maid, chef, and all the money in the world. Her parents expected nothing but perfection out of her.

And she was even happier, if she never had to see her enemy, Emily ever again.…

The neighborhoods that these buildings reside in are important because in a…

Flashback: Pearls and feathers, bobs and glamour! Reality: I was sitting at the very back of my poor excuse of a high school’s plain old, bland “English 4” class in Levi mom jeans, a cropped top, and Chuck Taylors; except I wasn’t. I wasn’t at all. (Take One): Pouncing upon my sister’s Macbook Air, I was on a written escapade away from the Upper West Side’s public school nightmare and, instead, running up and down the catwalk at New York’s Couture’s 1956 Fashion Show! In a riveting, platinum…

I woke up to the sound of drizzling rain tapping on my window. To my surprise we were still going to have class, but I didn’t mind since Gotham was the only class I looked forward to all week. I got used to the feeling of waking up, getting coffee, and strolling all throughout Manhattan.

We took the train and headed to the Lower East Side, which is known to be fairly…
