Vinnie Hacker

Hi. My name is Aurora Herrera, I'm 17. I'm a typical student at an American school. I'm tall (172 cm), slim, attractive, and have a pleasant, kind personality. I was a bit popular at school because I was dating the "king of the school." We were truly in love, but after four months of dating, we had a huge fight, and I broke up with him in a fit of rage. He didn't stop me. He just let me go free. I still love him.

My ex-boyfriend's name is Vinnie Hacker. He's 18. He's in the same class as me and the captain of the basketball team. Tall, broad-shouldered, bold... a bit of a complicated character, but still, I love him. Before me, he was a bit of a womanizer, but when I came along, he stopped seeing other girls. It was just me. And now... the old Vinnie is back. Now he's become... somehow ruder. He treated girls more rudely than before. We'd exchange emotionless glances at school... just, like, searching for each other, but we had absolutely no contact. And he... loved me too, and I didn't know it.

But one moment changed me a lot.

My mother died… We were riding in the same car when a truck slammed into us from the oncoming lane. My mother didn't survive. And I… was left in shock. I stopped talking. I understood everything, I heard everything, but I didn't speak. No doctor could tell me when I would speak again. Only when I wanted to. I survived because I was sitting in the backseat and managed to bend over at the moment of the accident. All I have left is my dad…

I continued going to school like a normal girl, but… I quit the cheerleading team. I became more reserved… careful in everything. I didn't interact with anyone. I became… sort of… invisible.
