Hey my name is Scarlett and I'm the new girl. My mom died when I was five, ever since my dad has been an drinking and getting worse. She died protecting me when three men broke in while my dad was working. They came in with guns and made it impossible to get to a phone. In panic, I made a run for my room, the man fired but my mom pushed me and it hit her right in the chest.

The last words she said to me were "I love you" then she fell to the ground as the men quickly ran out. When we got to the hospital she was already dead. Ever since, my dad's has been accusing me that it was my fault.

Now, I'm 17 years old and school is starting. This is the seventh time we've moved in the past two years. My dad's been married five times already and we've been moving from one place to another. But I have a feeling we'll be staying here for good.

I entered the school anxious and nervous. I looked around the halls and tried to make my way through the mob of students in search of the office. I finally reached a door with a plaque that read 'OFFICE'. I reached the handle and entered the room. The scent of cheap purfume and coffe reached my nose.

"Uhm, excuse me. H-hi, I'm Scarlett, I'm new." I said to the red-head lady at the front desk. She looked up and pushed up her glasses.

"Ah, yes! I'm Mrs. Harper. Welcome!" She said with a warm smile. She typed a few things on her computer and the printer began to make a buzzing sound. She snatched the papers from the printer and hnded them to me. "Have a nice day!" She said and in a blink of an eye she went back to what ever she was doing as if I was never there. I stood there for a moment confused but realized I had to find my locker before my first period. I opened the door and colided with someting, sonce it made an unusual bang.

I looked behind the door and saw a pretty brunette with brown eyes, rubbing her head as she layed on the ground. "Ow." She said. I quickly realized that I had hit her with the door. i gasped and lent her a hand.

"I am so so sorry! I didn't see you! I'm new- I'm Scarlett!" I said in a panic/worried voice. She chuckled as she dusted herself off.

"It's fine. I'm Janey, by the way. So, you're new?" She said. I helped her gather her papers and place them in a folder.

"Yeah, and lost." I stated. She smiled and motioned me to hand her my schdule. I pulled it out of my pocket and handed it to her. She studied it as I finished putting the papers away. We stood and we exchanged the folder and the paper.

"Well, you're in luck. We have th exact same schdule." She said. I sighed in relief. "Follow me." She said. I followed her through out the day until my third period which we didn't have together.

"I'll meet you at lunch, 'kay?" She said. I noded and she walked to her other class. I made my way to my locker and grabbed my books for my next period.

"Hey" a voice behind me said. I turned around to see a cute boy a dark dirty blonde hair and the most beautiful dark hazel eyes

"H-h-hi" I stuttered stupidly.

"My name's Justin. Are you new here?" he asked

I nodded. "Yeah, my name's Scarlett" I was blushing like crazy!

"Well, it's nice meeting you Scarett. I'll see you around, then?" He said. I nodded eagerly.

"Y- yeah, totally!" I said admiring him as he walked away. I slamed my locker shut as he disappeared from my view. I leaned against my locker replaying the scene over and over in my head.

The bell rung and I scurried to class.

"So have you made friends" Janey asked taking a bite out of her pizza. We were seated outside in the court yard on a bench.
