There was this one girl, that everyone picked on, made fun of, or even hit. They didn't know that she lived in a foster home all her life. She had no real family, no real home, no real friends. All she had, was what she had brought with her from her life long ago.  This girl was like no other, she was beautiful.. talented.. and smart. She loved to go to school, she said "These teachers make me feel at home, loved" She became the teacher's pet, until.. This drama queen of the school found out. She was jealous. She decided to go post stuff online about this girl , everything she posted, wasn't true. No one knew anything about "The Foster Girl" As so everyone calls her.

The real thing is, this one boy likes her. She obviously likes him too. So, the Junior Prom was coming up, and it was 'Boy Ask Girl'. Not a usual asking technique, but it was different. So, this boy named Jake.. wrote Taylor(foster girl) a note, asking her to the dance. She said yes. They talked, she told him everything about her. She told him she trusted him with everything she has said. But, she didn't know, that Jake knew Haley (The Drama Queen School Leader). He told Haley everything that Taylor told him. Taylor knew something was up, but.. she didn't point it out to soon. The prom was 2 days away. And Haley knew everything that Jake knew about Taylor. She couldn't wait until the dance, to cluster Taylor's life all to pieces. Taylor bought her a dress, and some makeup, she wasn't really the type to wear makeup. But she decided she was going to.

The prom was that night. Jake came over to Taylor's home. Not expecting 3 other kids trotting around. Taylor had to remind him that it was a foster home. She wasn't forever staying , temporary. As she got ready, Jake talked to her Foster dad, while her foster mom was helping. Taylor looked amazing. As she stood in the mirror, she whispered to herself "I look beautiful enough to become someone." As she finished applying her make-up, and acessories, Jake awaited. She was finally done, her father was waiting for her downstairs. They took a bunch of pictures before they went. Taylor really hoped Jake didn't see her as any other girl, she was different than any other. She wasn't quite shy around Jake anymore. 

Jake had borrowed his fathers' car to go in, it was nice. Taylor wasn't expecting anything like this. Haley was at the dance waiting on Jake and Taylor. She was hoping Taylor didn't look as good ash she thought she would be. But, when Taylor got out of the car, Haley was amazed. Taylor was beautiful, and had a pretty dress to match her personality. She danced the night away with Jake, until Haley got on stage, and said some things that Taylor told Jake. Jake had noticed what he had done to her. He felt really bad for doing it. He ran after her, tried to apologize. Taylor had decided to walk home, she refused to ride with Jake. She was crying, upset.. She thought she could trust Jake with her life. But it turned out she couldn't.

When she got home, her parents found that she was alone. Her mother went to her room, and asked what was wrong. Taylor refused to tell her. She didn't want them to find out, because she really likes Jake, and they would ruin any chance she had with him, if she wanted him back, with no trust for him from her. She was hoping that Haley hadn't said anything else about her. But, that wasn't possible. When Taylor got to school Monday, everyone laughed, teased, and made fun of her. She felt ignored, and that the world was against her. She went to classes, alone.. feeling trapped inside someones body that didn't exist. Every afternoon, she would go home, and lock herself in her room.. for hours, without coming out, unless she was told. Sometimes she would ignore what her parents were telling her. She felt like nothing was left of her to hurt.

Taylor got sick of everyone at school mistreating her, and bullying her any way possible. She finally stood up for herself, and told Haley to go mess with someone else, because Taylor had done nothing to her, and told Haley  "Your words do nothing but hurt others, while they make you feel good, they also make you feel bad at some point. Please just stop. It gets annoying, your hurting me over a dance? Goodness, give it a break. I don't even like Jake. You can have him, but, goodluck trying to find a spotlight big enough for the both of you." The crowd that was gathered around them, cheered Taylor on. Taylor felt like she spoke for everyone. Soon after, Haley didn't mess with anyone. She had to find her a spot to fit in at, unlike others, they made their own clans. Haley, she wasn't wanted in any of them, because of what she had done to people. Taylor became social again, and started talking to Jake again, She asked Haley for her permission first. Haley agreed. So, Jake and Taylor were dating again. Taylor felt loved, and loving. She didn't find anything wrong that she loved Jake. 

She never heard anything else from Haley again. 

 After high-school, Jake and Taylor got married. Had 2 beautiful children, named then Aleah and Aubrey.. Moved to California. Never had anything to do with Haley anymore. Jake then developed his own company, and Taylor found herself a financial job. Both making good money. They went home, visited their parents. They lived like no one could come between them.

No one else found Taylor as "The Target"
