I crouch under my desk, licking my cracked lips.  The small tick tock of the old alarm clock seems deafeningly loud.  Any minute.  Any minute now. As if on queue, a subtle scratching at my window starts. My heart is frozen in fear.  This can't be happening.  This can't be happening. THIS CAN NOT BE HAPPENING!!!! 

Nadine lives in small town Sarasota.  She is a normal girl, going to school ,  dreaming about the future, and doodling in the cover of her notebook. But she has a secret.  A drastic secret ( she thinks, yeah not really)  She wants to live in Paris. ( Very drastic, huh?)  She wants to speak the romantic language of french, eat baguette every morning , and walk briskly past the Eiffel Tower on her way to work every morning.  The problem is, her parents think she is a girl lost in her daydreams, and, according to them, she will NEVER go to to Paris. Uh, no.  That's all right with her.  She'll find a way.  And she did.  She saved up enough money for a plane ticket to Paris ( with no return ticket :))  and picked out all the right clothes.  She found an Apartment to rent without so much trouble , because, after all, she is almost 18. She even found a prestigious  college to go to, Universite Pierre et Marie Currie.  Everything is perfect and setup.  But Nadine has one teensy- eesny problem.  Her stepbrother knows of her plans and will do anything to stop her.
