Lilli is 21, single, and a bit lost. During high school, she had been a loner. Sweet as she was, nobody really noticed her. She was cute, but never put much effort into her appearance. She was smart as well; book smarts, mostly. Homework never seemed worth the effort though, so she settled for average grades. Instead, she put her effort into working part-time at the local used bookstore.

Come graduation, she still didn't have much going for herself. Her parents kicked her out shortly after, disappointment lingering in their eyes as she carried her bags out to the taxi. With the little money she'd saved, she found herself a cheap flat with a girl she'd gone to school with. Over the next three years, she learned to take care of herself, both financially and physically. She experimented with makeup, clothes, and her roommate as well. Her "cute" evolved into "sexy," much to her amazement. Finally, with a newly found confidence, Lilli decided it was time to get away.

A suitcase in each hand, Lilli headed to the Greyhound station and caught the next bus out. She was ready for adventure, something that her hometown couldn't give her. Anywhere is better than home, right? This thought kept her calm as she curled up in the bus seat, her arms wrapped around her knees.

...right?
