I'm Anastasia. I'm fourteen. I've never been out of Tulsa before and I'm freaking out. My little sister, Jennifer, is excited. She gets to go to Chapman, a academy not far from Shadyside Avenue. "This..is our house?" I ask my mom. "Yep! Isn't it amazing?!" She asks, all giddy. "It's amazing all right." I grumble. Jennifer laughs. I stick my tongue out before ma can get around the corner. She gets grounded. I whistle, it works. Everyone says keep everyone close. I didn't know how until a few months later.
