(Melody's POV)
I was awoken as my alarm went off. Laying back down I heard a voice speak quite softly in my ear "Wake up, sleepy." I jumped as my brother sat on my bed, bumping my soar leg causing me to flinch.
He looked concerned. "What's wrong?" "Nothing." I sat up in bed, my sleeve was rolled up and I quickly pulled it down to my wrist before he could see. "Well, if your all right then you need to get out of bed or you'll be late for your first day as a freshman." I smiled as Adam left the room.
I got up and took my long sleeved shirt off so I was standing in front of the mirror with my t. top. (A/N I call them tank tops, just t. tops for short.) I looked at the scars on my arms, some from yesterday. Pulling my t. top up, I groaned seeing the black and purple bruises on my sides. No one ever picked on me in seventh grade because Adam whold have flipped out and everyone respects him. Not me. I'm the one people beat up because I'm different. Heck, even guys will beat me up. In the summer they even threaten to beat me up worse the next time if I didn't meet them in the park everyday. May be they'll leave me alone now that I'm a freshman and we're back in the same building.
(Time skip. Next day.)
I was right. I didn't get beat up yesterday. I actually went the whole day without someone slamming me into a looker, punching me, or kicking me. I wasn't prepared to get pulled out of class though.
"Melody Richards, please report to the nurse's office, Melody Richards to the nurse's office." I can't move everyone is staring at me. I sigh and stand up, "Mr. Branson, may I go." He just nods and goes back to grading papers. I walk into the hall. What do the nurse want? Did she find out about the beatings?
It only took a minute to reach the nurses office. I opened it to see the principal and nurse with somber expressions on their faces. I started shaking. "Melody, sit down. I have some bad news." He paused until I was seated on the nurse's examination table. "Melody, I'm so sorry to tell you this, but..." He looked away unable to finish. "W-what?" I stuttered from my nervous thoughts. He didn't look back the nurse spoke up, "Melody, I'm so sorry. Your mother and father picked up your brother and were going to the eye doctor because Adam broke his glasses again. We just got a call that their car had been hit. I'm so sorry Melody. They all died on impact."

Hey, guys. Cameron here. I hope you enjoyed this "short" prologue. I based Melody off of my best friend, not the being bullied part, but her personality and appearance. Well minus the bruises. She actually has 2 brothers and both parents, all alive and well. I just took her characteristics. Any way, I hope you stick around to read more. 1st chapter later today. See you later. -Cameron
