Meri Stark sits cross-legged on the ground. She cracks a smile and speaks, "Anyone who has even heard of my father in passing knows his reputation with women," she laughs, "and I suppose that's why he's so overprotective when it comes to me. He doesn't want me falling for some guy who's just like him. I can understand that." She shrugs, "Pepper usually helps me out in the boy department, but things are getting complicated. I'm quite picky with guys. Even as teens, most of them are only after me for my stupid social status. It's all about a name I guess. So, I've been on plenty of dates, but they all end the same, I hear about it the next day at school, how they've gone bragging to their friends that they've been out with me. It's almost as bad as ditching the paparazzi and tabloids," she rolls her eyes and continues, "So, when I find out this 'super nice guy' is actually just another asshole, I'm heartbroken. The worst part is, the rumors are getting nastier and even though I haven't done anything, I'm getting this reputation that I really don't need. Having a high school sweetheart is supposedly a part of growing up. I just want a nice boyfriend during my teen years. Is that too much to ask?"
She sighs and uncrosses her legs, leaning back on her hands, "people are so good at pretending. Several times, I thought I'd found someone honest, but it was always an act.It's quite painful when you start to get close to someone and realize that they were never who you thought they were. Does anyone know how to see through all that before I start to fall for someone? Or are all guys just the same?"
