Caroline ran faster.
    "One more lap" she said to herself "Just one more." She regretted joining the track team for extra credit. Caroline was much better at basketball but the team was already full by the time she moved to this neighborhood, half way though the school year. She wished she could have stayed back in good old Colorado with snow and all her life long friends. But Moms job had destroyed that.
    It will be fine" Mom had said "You are so nice,smart and pretty you will make tons of friend." Thanks Mom. Caroline had about 1..2..ZERO friends. Three weeks and no one has even talked to her.
    "Finally I am done" she thought as she finished that last lap "Now I can go home." Caroline's house was pretty big and really old. Her dad and mom had fixed it up but it was still creepy. All sorts of random stuff kept showing up and she had even found some secret stairs in her room that lead down to the kitchen. It was only a twenty minute walk from school so she walked. When Caroline arrived home no one was there. "
    "Weird" she said to her self "Mom is always home when I come back from school."
    Caroline in all three months of being here had never actually been home alone. She through her bag on the kitchen counter top. And walked up to her room. When she opened the door she screamed! This was not Caroline's blue walled room with a purple bed spread. This was a dark creepy room with no furniture except for a big old dusty mirror in the middle of the opposite wall. Caroline really wanted to go down stairs but the mirror was calling to her. She tried to run but her legs took a mind of there own. They walked to the mirror. Caroline saw her self in it but it was not her. This Caroline had matted hair blood shot eyes and was clearly screaming loudly. Caroline watched in terror as her arm moved up and rested a single finger on the mirror. The Evil Caroline on the other side grabbed her finger though the mirror and at the same time jumped out. Caroline looked down at her self. She looked like the Evil Caroline. She looked up. On the other side of the mirror she saw her self.
    "Were Am I!" She yelled
    Caroline looked around there were lines and lines of cramped together people each with a mirror like herself. Doing things that all people do in mirrors like make up and brushing there teeth.
    The Other Caroline on the other side stared at her and said "You are in hell"
    Then quickly turned around and left. Caroline banged and banged on the mirror.
    "Let me out of here!" Then suddenly the mirror changed. To Caroline's great distaste she started to do what the evil Caroline on the other side did. Smile evilly. Caroline was crying on the inside but on the outside she could not show it. Until she switched places with another unlucky soul.
