To my family and especially my Mom who was there with me in all hurdles and guided me through every step.

CHAPTER 1

I was combing my hair when suddenly the doorbell rang, they were here! I was looking forward all morning for the guests to come to our house until they could find a house near us in Beverly Hills.

Jennifer?? yelled a voice, I recognized it immediately, it was Mom, Coming Mom! I yelled "Look who’s here! It’s your Aunt Louise!

It was my Aunt Louise and beside her was another lady who was dressed so immaculately and with full make-up, it seemed if she had come for a wedding instead! Then finally came two of my favorite uncles whom I adored a lot. They were my Uncle Arthur and my Uncle Brenton.

The difference between both of my Uncles was Uncle Brenton was very open-minded and concerned about me; he didn’t let me do any kind of dangerous things that involved chemicals or stuff that could harm my body. Sometimes he would give me lectures about protecting myself and not following my friends on dangerous dares. Sometimes I would fall asleep or play on my phone secretly so he wouldn’t notice but then when he would find out what I am up to, he would give another lecture about that and so on.

But my Uncle Arthur was different in all sorts of ways, he’d buy me anything I’d want, once I wished for a rocket set that could explode and before I knew it, I had gotten it. My Uncle Arthur could be so much more fun
