Chapter 2 - MY FAMILY

Being born into a financially well-off family, physically I lacked nothing but psychologically there was a big void. First of all my mother, Julia Torretto is a very strict woman. She didn't have time for my three brothers and I, she worked all the time, left the country a lot on monetary missions, in short, she was hardly ever there. Second, I didn't have a sister to play dolls, hopscotch, or other little girls' games with. And finally, I was the youngest of three boys, first the twins Alfredo and Humberto Torretto and then my direct elder, Camillo Torretto. The three were making my life tough. You must imagine that a girl in the middle of three boys, worse still being the youngest, is not easy to live with. But if you can't figure out why it's not obvious because you've never been there or you don't know anyone who has been there, I'll explain it to you. Alfredo took me for his soccer ball, Humberto as his tester of champoing and all his body products to prevent it from having side effects on him, Camillo, he just didn't see me, for him I didn't even exist. When I was three years old I tried to be a normal little girl despite all that, I really liked cartoons, toys, I was calm and sweet and kind, well anyway I was just normal. But it's impossible to stay normal when you have three brothers like the ones I have. It's a bit like throwing a mouse in the middle of vipers, the poor mouse has no choice but to transform into another even more dangerous species of viper in order to survive. I turned into a boy and I was successful in my transformation. I became annoying, annoying, insolent and aggressive. My favorite movies became horror movies, I was fascinated by them. Since then that's how I am. Some classmates in elementary school very often called me a witch but that didn't bother me at all, on the contrary I was proud of it and I took her for a compliment. I was just a kid so why bother. I loved going to school in a t-shirt with my shoulder strap on and my mom braided my hair. I looked down on people a lot and took the opportunity to be sass.
