You really want to know about me? Well that’s good because I love being the centre of attention. I grew up in Florida; with my parents Lilly and Dan, my older brother Lukas and my baby sister Ariana. Until I was ten our life was pretty normal. Fairly decent. Just weeks before my tenth birthday, my older brother Lukas took ill. He was seven years older than me; he was my idol. A basketball star in the making, and everything about him was perfect- or at least that’s how my parents made him to be. Lukas was diagnosed with Leukaemia and for the next three years he battled with treatment. After numerous blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants and a kidney transplant; he lost his battle. So I was thirteen when my brother died, and from then onwards my life kind of changed. I used to like football- that was my sport, but when Lukas passed away I wanted to play basketball; but I just wasn’t as good as he was. I wasn’t as good as him in anything I did.

My sister then became the favourite. Ariana; she was capable of most things, naturally intelligent and beautiful- she was going to follow in dad’s footsteps in law. But I had no ambition, which only influenced their disappointment in me. My parents argued a lot, and things just weren’t the same. I would spend most of my time with my friends. My parents worked long shifts so I didn’t see them too much. It meant I could do what I wanted, when I wanted and with who I wanted. I became a bit of a rebel; the class clown if you like, spending my time drinking excessively, dappling in drugs now and again, and sleeping around. I spent most of my time around my best friends- Jake. He was like a brother; and his parent’s sort of put up with me. I was happy; you know- sure I got into trouble, but Jake had my back. He kept me from getting in too deep.

I was sixteen when Jake was sent to juvi. We were playing pool and some guy’s started to fight. Things quickly got out of control, and somehow we got pulled into it- well I did. I got hit, and Jake tried to break things up. The next thing I know- he’s slamming a guys head off of the table and the guys lay there on the floor bleeding. Dying in front of me. So things got heated, the cops came. Jake got taken away. My father bailed me out. But after losing my brother and my best friend; my life only took a turn for the worse.

I got in trouble with the police; reckless driving, drinking and driving, possession of drugs…my father kept bailing me out. After all he was a terrible father, with a stack of money and a law degree- the least he could do was help out his rebellious son. I didn’t think my mother noticed, but after my third time in court; they decided things had got out of control.

My mother was convinced it was to do with my school, my friends, but she couldn’t see that she was the problem. A huge problem in my eyes; her and my father; they were just clueless. So they enrolled me here…I thought my life got a whole lot worse but actually it was a whole lot better. I landed myself on the basketball team, and no one knew me here so I became one of the popular guys. There are more pretty girls here than I know what to do with; and the place doesn’t suck as much as I thought it would. So yeah; that’s my story.

So you might be thinking, Dainton almost rehabbed; he got back on the straight and narrow… right? Well you’re wrong. I still drink excessively, and I’m admittedly an obnoxious prick. I am not the type of guy you’d like to take home; to meet your parents. I’m not a nice guy. Granted I have a bit more of a conscience than I used to but really it’s not a whole load better.
