'You're not weird you just have your head screwed on.'

'Not like most of girls my age right?'

He looked at her he wanted to disagree but he couldn't he'd heard so much about the new age teenager. They walked around like tramps and fucked anything that walked, unlike her she was an angel sent from heaven into their hell.

'Well now you are.'

'I can't believe I'm in Rome.'

'Believe it sweetheart.' He smiled. 'So back to your birthday we are going to a club in the city.'
