Hi everyone!
My name is Melody Farmington and I’m going to be a junior at Glass High School in the fall! Turner is friends with my brother Scott and they swim and work out at the gym together. We only met Turner when he and his parents started living in our apartment complex. His aunt lives in the complex, too. We’ve met her but not Turner’s parents because they’re out of town on business.
When I’m asked to write about myself I’m never really very sure what to say. I don’t like talking about myself because I feel like it might seem like I’m bragging or being too self-important. But I suppose you do want to know about me, and not just some ‘stats’ like how tall I am or what’s my favorite color.
Scott and I don’t really talk about our family much, but you may know by now that the man that was found dead near Glass Creek was our uncle. Our aunt came to town to help the police and go through his stuff so Scott and I wouldn’t have to. We haven’t lived in Glass long, so we didn’t know the boy who died.
Scott’s in college, but he’s fine with the fact that Turner’s only going to be a senior in high school. He says they have the same goals for some stuff and it’s better to work out with people who have similar goals than with people who are only your own age. Besides, Turner is also going to be going to the college in the fall, so they will have that in common, too.
Okay, more about me, and I guess this is where it’s going to get be like statistics. I’m 16 and started going to Glass High School in the second half of last year, after some stuff happened. This year will be my first full year, and I’m excited. I already know Turner now, and I hope I can make some friends on the girls’ swim and dive team. I’ll be trying out for that – I’ve been diving for a few years now. My life isn’t all about swimming and diving, but it’s a big part of it.
I’m still getting used to Glass, and don’t do a whole lot else. It’s summer, so I’ve been watching The Glass Creek Chronicles for information on things that are happening. I don’t really know anything else to talk about, but thanks for the opportunity to tell you more about myself.
