Introduction

SOMETIMES I HAVE SILLY fantasies of how I picture my life. Usually it's me being prettier than I usually am, being smarter, having better clothes, a better family, not like there's anything wrong with my family now, but you know... Just, something different. Like having a boyfriend for once..

   I guess it's a little selfish to wish for a life where everything goes the way I want it, and I know that can never happen, so that's when it hit me: Write about it. Use your words to bring your perfect world to life. So I started writing this story. And it's funny; the basis for this story started out as a simple hate-letter, where I wrote down all my stresses and anger onto paper, but never sent it to the person I was mad at. Soon I decided to turn in into something else.

   But as I kept writing about my perfect life, I realized that there is no perfect life, and there has to be problems, and since I was in the middle of a big one right now I might as well start with that and work my way up. So I wrote about my problem, but I fixed it the way I wanted it to. In reality, the problem was still going on, but I thought that if I wrote about how the problem resolved in my story, somehow I could figure out how to solve it in reality.

   So long story short, this book is about my life. Mostly about how I wish my life was and how I wish certain things should have gone this way or that. Like how a princess trapped in a tower dreams of her ideal life once she escapes. Fantasies. Hence the name, Fantasy-Hime, with 'Hime' meaning 'Princess' in Japanese.

    Pretty much most of the events that occur in this book actually happened. For most instances, I've changed the names of the characters (including my own) to protect their identities, only about 3-5 characters are fictional.

    I began writing this near the end of my Summer Vacation, and with each passing day I added to the story. So it starts off with the night before the new school year and works its way up to the present day. I wrote the story based on my own memory, information I gained from other people, diary entries, emails, and text messages.

I liked the beginning of the chapter. It was surly unique.
