Chapter 1

Echo's POV

    The bell finally rang. Most kids have already finished their finals, or are scurrying to finish up the last few words. Me, I finished a while ago and have been sitting here reading my book. Today is the day I pack for a trip with my only friends. We decided since it's our senior year, and we have three months until University, why not spend it in another country. 

    I stood up from my seat when I saw it was clear and no one would knock me over trying to rush out of the school. I shoved my book into my bag, and made my way out of the classroom, down the long hallway, and out the double doors into the flaming heat of California state. As I made my way to my car I noticed my only friends flocked near it waiting for me.

    "Finally!" I heard Adam exclaimed throwing his hands in the air. His large, muscular build made me laugh at the fact he acted like such a child sometimes. What got me was how blue his eyes were, or how pretty his blonde hair seemed to glow in the sun. I smiled slightly and stopped walking when I got to them all.

    "You were reading again weren't you?" My other friend Carissa spoke accusing me. I looked at her light brown eyes and smiled. She brushed her brown hair off her face and behind her shoulders as she acted all smart for guessing. She seemed like she could have model status right now.

    "Nerd." I heard my other friends voice. It was Jane. She has fiery red hair, and deep blue eyes. Of course she's pale. But she's really funny.

    "Leave her be. We all know she's the brains of the group." My bestest friend of the group spoke coming from behind me. His deep voice always manages to either scare me, or calm me. His name is Gannon. 

   "And what are you suppose to be? The muscle?" Our last friend Lucas said making fun of Gannon. Luke has dirty blonde hair, and green eyes. He's tall, and muscular. He likes sports, he's the jock of our group.

    "You know I'll still kick your ass any time Grey." Gannon snapped and flinched toward Lucas who hid behind Jane. I was watching the whole thing calmly. I've not said anything yet because I don't really like to talk, unless it's about something I enjoy. Like, crimes, that sounds wrong. I mean, how to solve them, or science. Even pirates, or fairy tales. Even mythology. 

   I looked to the girls and turned to get in my car. The boys stared at me, and the girls both laughed.

   "Where are you going?" Lucas asked confused. I tossed my bag in the back. Then closed the door and looked at them.

    "We leave tomorrow. We pack tonight. I want Gregory's before we leave and I don't want to listen to you three arguing anymore. So when you're done. Meet the girls and I there." I shrugged and got into my car. Jane hopped into my passengers side, and Rissa got in the back. The boys stepped aside and I pulled out from the parking spot. 

   "You know, you always keep us on our toes." Rissa said from the back. My lips twitched into a half smile. It wasn't real, it was fake, but it was so the girls felt better. 

   Tonight we pack, and tonight we have a sleep over. But first things first, we have Gregory's.
