Hello. -smiles meekly and wiggles fingers, waving- I came here on time, ten o'clock just like you said. You're about four minutes late. -frowns- Oh, I am sorry. I really didn't mean to sound rude or anything. I was just simply saying, please don't take what I said the wrong way. -blushes- I am polite, I promise. I just like promptness. Sorry again, I sound very straightforward. You've just gotten me all worked up. I am usually very collected too. Interviews just leave me feeling so dizzied and lightheaded. Your camera is pointing right at me and you are focusing on every word I say. It is a little frightening.

I haven't even gotten to tell you my name yet. You've probably heard of me, not because I am a person popular among others. It is most likely because of my interactions with the school. I am Harlow McKinney, a sophomore. -smiles softly- Actually I just started my sophomore year but I am already sixteen years old. I have an early birthday. I turned sixteen August the seventeenth actually. I don't have any job at the given moment. -pauses momentarily- My mother insists that my education is the primary focus of my life right now. I fuss from time to time but she supplies me with enough. I don't actually have work for the extra money. It is amazing what my parents do for me. -smiles brightly-

Are you honestly asking me for my appearance? -stops talking to stare at- You want me to sit here and tell you what I look like. Excuse me for being rude but you are staring directly at me. You look sort of captivated too. Or maybe I am just misinterpreting things. Well I guess I can explain my appearance to you. Only since you asked so nicely and you are looking at me with pleading eyes. Well, as you see I have blond hair and I usually wear it in waves or loose curls. Sometimes I spray the fringe of my bangs. -sweeps hand over bangs- People tell me that my face looks very warm and welcoming, whatever that means. Look at me and you can tell that my eyes are a pretty, clear blue. I like to cake makeup on my face and play with my look from time to time. -picks at cardigan she is wearing- I have taken a liking to the whole vintage dress style. It's fun.

Uhm. -bites lip- It's hard to describe who I am. I am such a complicated person. Just hold a second, please. -pauses and looks thoughtful- I guess I can start off by telling you that I am a very polite and collected person. When you first meet me you might be a little taken back by how I actually have manners. I try to be polite to everyone and show them all that I have respect. I come off as guarded too. I don't like everyone seeing my weaknesses or what makes me tick. It feels like I have the upper hand and people have to work to figure me out. Maybe that makes me come off a cold but that was never my intention. -frowns- My father taught me that you need to keep yourself protected from harm. And people are always out to get you. It's a vicious world.

I like promptness. I try to get everything done on time and compose myself so that I show up on time. I also like honesty. I try to to be very truthful but handle what I say in a mature way. -looks at camera uncertainly- It's rude to go around and talk dishonestly about things and people. I act mature at times and I have a very good head attached to my shoulders. I try to handle things in the best way possible. I don't overreact but sometimes I am unsure with the things that I do. -stares down at lap- My choices usually take a lot of thought and instantly I regret any choice I make if I am unsure. I don't like to be wrong. I try to be sure with everything that I do but I feel so lost and unsure. Being independent is hard and I don't think I am quite doing it right. -stares away-

I don't think that I am that bad of a person. I am not like roaring crazy or extremely uptight. I know how to loosen up and allow myself to have a little fun. It is just that I focus on other things before having fun. -shrugs- I am honestly a sweet person who maybe has a twisted sense of humor. I don't crack jokes constantly but I tend to be sarcastic at times. I like to smile to myself at the foolish things that people say. -blushes- I am insecure, sorry. I don't really tell people things like this, unless they have broken through my shell. My friends are always trying to knock some sense into me. They tell me that my creativity is brilliant. And that I have no reason to feel so lost. I adore the few friends that I have. -softly smiles- They make everything okay.

My life, well. -stares at camera, eyes start to water- Sorry, I shouldn't start crying. I don't like to cry. It makes me feel weak, even though everyone tells me that even the strongest people cry. First off, I don't know my actual parents. I am not even from America, honestly. You are talking to a one hundred percent pure French blooded girl. -purses lips- My parents, the people who took me in, wanted to do an out of country adoption. I happened to be the lucky baby girl that they chose. I am not even quite sure why they did. Apparently I was weak at birth, frail and premature. The owner of the orphanage even though he wasn't sure that I was going to make it. -tear slides down cheek- So my parents took me in and took me back to their home in Greenville, South Carolina.

I've grown up content with everything that they have to offer to me. I love everything that they do for me. But I am not quite sure if I love them. I don't even think that they love me. -looks to the side- I feel like I am a stranger to them. I don't ever feel comfortable when I am at home. Maybe that is why I try to get as involved as possible. I look at all the pictures spread around the house and there is not a single family shot to be found. My mother treats me nicely and my father takes me places when I ask him. -attempts to smile- Isn't that what your parents are supposed to do? They tell me they are proud when I get good grades or hit a home run. But everything still feels incomplete. Maybe I am just selfish.

-looks at clock on wall- I've got to run. Sorry, it is something important. Bye. -grabs bag and walks out of shot-
