Character Interview with Anya Preschnikov :
Please tell us your name, age and where you live.
My name is Anya Preschnikov, I'm
17 and I live in Peach Valley, British Columbia.
Do you have a boyfriend or are you interested in anyone
right now?
Well, I do have a guy friend:
Patrick. I've known him for, like, five years. He really wants to be my
boyfriend, I know it, because he loves me. He even told me that once. But the
thing is, I don't feel quite the same way. I mean, I really like Patrick. He's
my best friend, but I don't love him. Not now anyway. I'm just not ready to be in a relationship
right now.
What is your relationship like with your parents and other
siblings?
Um, that's something I really
don't like to talk about. But since you asked, terrible. My dad's a
low-wage-earner- drunkard-loser who spends, like, all of his time wallowing in
self-pity.
My sister is only twelve, but
she's a complete bitch. She thinks she's sooo cool and popular, but I never see
any of her friends over at our house. It could be because Sophia hates being a
part of this miserable excuse of a family. If her friends saw our tiny,
rundown, smelly house, they'd ditch her for sure. So, I can't count that as
being popular.
As for my brother, Adrik. I
don't know what he's doing with his life. But I'm glad he's out of mine, because,
when he did live at home, he used to beat me....and Sophia....up all the time.
So that's my life. It sucks mega
big time!
What types of things do you do for fun??
I love acting. I want to be an
actress, actually. I know it's a tough career to pursue, but it's the only
thing I want to do with my life. And it's the thing I love doing the most. I
also really like reading and writing in my journal. Maybe when I'm famous, I'll
write a book.
One last fun question... If you could be a character from
any book, whom would you want to be and why???
I would be Lestat, the vampire
from my favorite book, Interview With The
Vampire. He's so hot. If I were him, I'd say to Carly and all the other
popular kids; 'You accept me or else...'
Thank you Anya - It was great meeting you :D
two problems. Her father ignores her and doesn't have any money to support her. At school,
she's bullied on a daily basis, yet she believes that she will gain her stepping-stone to stardom
if she's accepted by her peers.
All of this changes when Maria Hernandez--an immigrant from Spain--comes to Peach Valley
Senior High. Maria knows what it takes to fit in. She's assertive, confident and she dresses
suggestively, characteristics that all of the popular kids admire. Yet she sees in Anya what no
one else sees: beauty and talent.
When Maria extends her hand of friendship, Anya is elated. Her rise to popularity is about
to become a reality, but it ends at a house party when a boy's rude comment sends her into a
rage.
Desperate to belong somewhere, Anya and Maria seek new friends outside of school. They
meet Alex and Marissa, a young couple who eagerly welcomes them into their world of
parties and drugs. Anya and Maria soon find out that Alex is a drug dealer, but they are so
lured by his wealth, good looks and aggressive confidence that they can't resist his friendship.
They don't know that Alex's gang is at war with a rival gang--one that's run by Anya's older
brother, Adrik--until one incident puts their lives in danger's path. To make matters worse,
Alex won't let Anya and Maria out of his sight. The two teens are forced to make a decision
that's a matter of life or death.
