Inside: Prologue

Inside: Prologue

Lakewood Academy is the place I love to hate. I also have the same feelings towards the people who go here. The idea of rich parents sending their children here to keep them out of trouble, and most of all out of the spotlight is part of the reason I hate this school. No one here actually has parents who love them enough to allow them to go to a regular school or even homeschool. No, instead we are all sent here, far out of the way, hidden in the mountains. You see Lakewood Academy doesn't have your regular students. Everyone here is either a child of a celebrity, the parents careers varying from politics, to supermodels, to actors, to sports start to reality stars, or they are a celebrity themselves. So like I said we aren't the normal average everyday students. That is the reason for this school really. The location is top secret and there is some sort of fancy hacking system that prevents us from telling anyone anything about the school or the people in it. So basically there is no way for the press to find any juicy details about our lives. That is the reason our parents want us here. To keep us from embarrassing them in front of the whole world. In a normal school we would be stalked by people, have our photos taken by the press and have information of our personal drama distributed all over the internet. 

So in the normal world we are special. But here we are normal because we are all just as rich and famous as each other. And that is the only thing I truly love about this school. That and being away from my parents. Not that, that means I actually like it here. God no. Growing up with a supermodel mother and a father who is an actor I am use to growing up acting like everything is perfect when it clearly isn't. Being fake. And just like when I was growing up, here everyone is fake. I mean everyone. Everyone has something they are hiding. Some sort of secret. Not that anyone will discover them here. I don't know what it is about fame but for some reason fame comes with fake. You can't have one without the other. 

So why am I complaining about the place where I have spent most of the last two years? Because I am back and boy is it going to be a long year. So you may have noticed that I neglected to mention something. Who am I?

Well I am Alexis James. Or Lexi as most people call me. Yes the Alexis who used to be a triple threat. If you don't know what a triple threat is then I better explain. It is when you are a actor, singer and dancer. I also modelled so I guess I was a quadruple threat. Not that any of it was my choice. Once my mother's career poured down the drain she forced me and my siblings into the life of fame. She made me go to all sorts of auditions until one day I got a part in a tv show when I was about seven. The show was a hit and continued until I quit when I was twelve. By then I had starred in quite a few movies, modelled on the front cover or several magazines and even released a few singles (not that any of them were a hit). You get the idea. I was fed up with the whole lifestyle by the time I was fourteen and I begged my parents to let me go to high school. But instead they sent me here. The only upside is that they made my siblings come here too. I have five siblings. Yeah, thats quite a few. There is my oldest sister Kate. She is an actress and is currently working on a movie in London as she graduated a couple years ago. Then there is Charlie my oldest brother who just graduated and is playing college football at Washington State. Then my brother Noah who is starting his senior year at Lakewood and is in the band Radioactive. Yeah them. So then there is my twin brother Carter, also in Radioactive and is also balancing it with soccer. And last of all is my little sister Maddison (a sophomore this year) who is a acting and modelling. 

So what am I doing now? Well that would be trying to survive this hellhole.
