------Preface-------

Finding the place where you belong has to do with knowing who you are. Looking down the 15 some foot cliff I'm about to jump off of, into the crashing water, I think about my life, how I wish it wasn't so difficult, so hard, but wonderful at the same time. As the crashing gets closer, I get ready to use my only means of escape.

Annabelle's POV

BEEP!!!!!  

"Gah!!' I yelled as i fell of my bed. 

"Why again did I buy this scary loud alarm clock....oh yeah...because I can sleep through an atomic bomb..." I really need to stop talking to my self... 

BEEP!!! 

"Ahh!" I screamed...again. I hit it with more force than necessary just to get it to shutup. Great, I thought, I broke another one. Oh well. I look around my room, it was so different than the one back in Texas. Smaller...more...compact. At least i got a closet out of the deal, I thought as I walked into it. I picked out my favorite outfit for the first day of school...first day of my 'new' school. My outfit was a black tee that has blue seams with a blue sleeves that has black seams. Black skinny jeans for the all important pant wear, and my favorite shoes. My blue converse that matches my sleeves. After I got dressed I went to go see what I to battle with every single day...my hair. I walked into my bathroom and almost screamed from what i saw in the mirror. My black shoulder length hair was...a...MESS!!!!!! It looked like a mini tornado went through it!! I groaned. This is going to take forever!!! I got my brush and start going through the rat's nest that I call my hair. When I ripped half my hair out and it was mostly tangle free i put it up in a pony tail. This is what I get when I don't blow dry my hair!!! Oh well. I straitened my bangs that proudly held blue streaks through it. I just noticed that it closely looked like the same color as my sleeves. Weird. After brushing my teeth. I set off to go to school with a granola bar in hand. Driving in my truck to school was uneventful. I parked a few blocks away for the school because I had no clue if sophomores where allowed to have cars on campus. When I got to school I went to the office. " Hi honey, how can u help you?" 

"I'm new." I answered without lifting up my head. 

"Ah, okay then. I need your name darling." 

"Okay. My name is Annabelle Starr." 

"Can you spell that for me?"  

Really? It isn't that hard lady. "Sure. A-n-n-a-b-e-l-l-e S-t-a-r-r." 

"Okay...here you go sweetheart...wait a second honey." As i turned around getting ready to leave. 

"Yes?" 

"Are you...nevermind." 

"Ookay?" 

"Don't worry about it dear you look like someone I used to know a long time ago." 

" Uh-huh." 

"Sorry. Anyways the first paper is a map of the school. The second is your locker number and combination. The third is your schedule. And...thats it. 

"Ok, thanks." 

"No problem sweety."  Wow so many terms of endearment...she said more of those than my mom has called me in the past year. I went to go find my locker. I kept my head down, not wating to drw attention to myself. I soon realized that I probably would get lost so I looked for the map. When I found it, I was wary to see that I was on the end by the janitors closet. I hope I don't see anything to scar me for life. People were beginning to arrive so I put all my stuff in my locker except a notebook, a book, a pencil, and a calculator since it was Algebra 2, which is an advanced course that my mom is making me take, even though I suck at anything that as to do with numbers. Algebra, first thing in the morning, whoop-dee-friggin-do. I got into the class and introduced myself to the teacher. Mr.Edwards seemed pretty nice. He was just a bit taller than me. He kinda looked put off by my eyes. But that was the normal reaction. Its understandable since I looked like a native but I have really dark blue eyes. I'm half Kikeame(key-kay-ah-meh), which is the tribe that is on this reservation. But since it was so small and the town next to was small too, they shared a high school and some middle schools. You see my mom's parents died and left their house to their youngest, a girl. Which was apparently fine with my mom's brothers and sisters, I think it's because there was more of a chance for her to come back here. I have 5 cousins that go to my school. All of them older than me and probably don't even know I exist. Back to the present. 

"...welcomes you Annabelle.Would you like to sit at the front or the back?" asked Mr.Edwards.  

"Back please." i replied. No need to draw more attention to myself than there is possible.  

"Ok then, there is one open right there in the corner over there." 

"Thanks." 

"Oh wait! Here is your textbook. You'll need it." he said smiling. 

"Thanks again." I made my way to my seat not meeting any of the kids eyes. I sat down right as the bell rang. Class has begun. Woo. -.-
