Narrated by Marlys

As an early birthdaypresent mom and dad gave my room a make-over. I picked out everything myself, and I love it. I spend almost all of my free time in there.

I had to include a place for my violin, I love playing it. I don't think I will ever do something in music, but it's nice to get away from the real world sometimes, and my violin helps me with that.

I don't like doing my homework that much, but I love sitting at my new desk, so in a way I don't mind as much.

Now that I'm almost 13 mom and dad trust me to go out on my own. It's just to that park one block away, but still I don't have to go with Matthew all the time anymore. There are some kids from school as well.

I like spending time with Morgan, he so nice and so easy to talk to. I'm not allowed to date just yet, but spending time in the park isn't a really date, is it?

He even calls at nights after school, just to talk, and not only about school, but about a lot of things.

Matthew is almost 17, and he's allowed to go where ever he wants as long as he stays in SimsVille. Most of the time he meets up with his girlfriend, Melina. I can't wait to be old enough to go where I want to go.

He sometimes brings her home, and at times she even spends the night, just to sneak away before everybody gets up. Matthew is sure we don't know about it, and that we don't know what he's doing, so we leave him in his dreamworld.

He doesn't spend a lot of time with Melina. They are both working on getting into college, and that's their priority at the the moment. He spends almost every free moment working.

It did pay off though. Some months ago he got a letter from SVU telling him he got in. Both mom and dad were so proud of him.

To celebrate they took us to a nearby restaurant. It wasn't something fancy but I love being out, so it's always fun to go out.

With Matthew getting in the presure on me is up. Mom and dad don't push me, but I know they would like for me to get in as well. It's not that I don't want to go, I just don't like all the work I have to do to get in.

Sometimes when I see mom and dad, I wonder if I will have that too one day. They seem so comfortable together, and it would be nice to have that one day too.

On the other hand, I wouldn't want it too soon eithern even though it seems nice.

Notes:

• I'm currently redecorating most of my sims' houses, to make them feel more like them. In this case; both Andrea and Dimitri's favourite color is blue, so it seemed more fitting for them to have a livingroom with more blue in it. The redecorating of Marlys' room is just because she's a teen now.
• Not much on the parents in this update, because really not much happened, they constantly went upstairs to their room, I'm just glad there isn't another baby on the way.
• Both Melina and Matthew got into college, so next round we'll see them as freshmen at SVU. We'll see them both in the Mokara update and of course their last high school update.
• Marlys and Morgan have a 3 botl chemistry. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I just let her go to the park, and teleported Morgan Penninkmeijer and Stephan Belio in for her to meet, and she and Morgan just hit it off. Marlys is still too young to date, but we'll see what will happen.
