"Sweetie, dinners ready!" Yells my mum. "Okay, in a sec!" I yell back. I hurriedly pack away the photos into the converse shoebox, then hid it back in the loose floorboard under my bed. I take the stairs two at a time as fast as I can. It's been almost 6 months since Annabelle was taken away in the middle of the night. 6 months since she was last seen.

"What's for dinner Mum ?" I ask. "Casserole" She replies. Urgh, I hate casserole. "Ummm, I might skip that, what else can I have ?" Mum frowns as she serves up dinner. "There's salad in the fridge and leftover chicken in the draw under it" I quickly make my meal and sit at the table. "Is Dad going to be joining us tonight?" I ask. "No,he's busy again" She sighs.

After dinner, I go back upstairs and lock my door before pulling out my notebook. My best friend in the entire world, Emily, calls it my book of insanity. In it, it has everything I know about Annabelle. Where she went, her friends, classes, photos of her stuff, of her. I let a slow tear slip out as I think about that night. I know I shouldn't but sometimes, I need to let it out. After that, her dumbass 'boyfriend' claimed that he was innocent and that she had forced herself onto him. He got hell at school from my friends but that wasn't enough. He needed to be taken away. Instead of my sister.

I frown at the drizzling sky as i walk into school. I thought it was supposed to be hot in hell ? Any way, I walk in and go straight to my locker to get my books out for first period. "Miss Rosetta ? Can I please speak to you in my office" Asks my principal. I gulp then follow him to his office.
