If you don't already know me, here's your chance...
My name is Marisol Alleandra Cruz. But, I go by Alle, which is pronounced “Allie” and not “Ale” for the slower members of the group. It’s not that I hate my first name, I just prefer to go by a shortened version of my middle name. In other words? Don’t call me Marisol unless you know me really well and I won’t take your head off for it. Got it? Cool.
I guess I’m supposed to tell you about myself, which I don’t really get the point of this. It’s some lame attempt at the ‘get to know you’ game which if I wanted to know you? I’d just talk to you, but whatever. Apparently it’s mandatory, so here I am. You got my name, so what the hell else do you wanna know about me?
I just turned 19 a few weeks ago on June 19th. I work downtown in this indie coffee shop called Uncommon Grounds, I’ve worked there for like 3 years and right before my birthday I got promoted to Assistant Manager. Just what I always wanted. I was being sarcastic in case you missed out on that.
My family moved to LA from Mexico right after I turned a year old. I don’t really remember living there, but we go back sometimes to visit Abuela. Anyway, besides my mom (who speaks no English) and my Dad, I have two older brothers, Carlos and Roberto. I have a sister-in-law named Stella (married to Carlos) and a 4 year old nephew named Diego. Besides my brothers, Diego is the only man who will own my heart.
In case you’re still clueless, I’m a lesbian. Ask me if you can watch and I’ll kick your ass. Seriously. I did try the boy thing, even had a boyfriend for six months. Imagine his surprise when I was more into his sister than him. Which was my first and only really serious girlfriend, Camilla. Until she cheated on me with some guy and left town. That’s definitely enough about that.
I’m also a slayer. As in I kill vampires and demons, not really for a living considering there’s no pay in it, so more like for fun I guess? Some dude named Xander who had a kick ass patch showed up at my coffee shop one day to tell me I had some big destiny I never even knew about. Pretty cool huh? It was like totally straight out of a movie. He sent me to some school here in LA where they could train me and teach me all about it. Since I’m older than most of the girls there, I really don’t have to live at the school, which I wouldn’t anyway. I have my own place. But I’ve learned a lot and met some pretty cool girls. I came in at a pretty bad time though, apparently it was right after some big fight they had and a bunch of girls got killed. When I found that out, I almost said to hell with it and left, but then Kennedy talked to me and I decided to give it a shot.
So, that’s my story. Wanna know more? Guess you’re just gonna have to ask.
