"Oh my god Sarah did not hurt Robert!" I shouted to the officer as Sarah was crying in handcuffs.

"I'm sorry miss, but it turns out Sarah White was planning out the murder for a while," the officer said to me.

"No she wasn't!" I responded.

The police took Sarah away and left me and Violet alone in the house.

"How did this happen?" Violet asked me.

"I don't know," I responded sadly. "Let's go home. School starts tomorrow."

The night ended too quickly and it was time to get ready for school.

"What do you think people are gonna say about my awesome hair?" Violet asked excitedly.

"What do you think people are gonna say about Sarah's arrest?" I responded in an annoyed tone.

"It's ok Heather, we'll figure this out," Violet assured me.

"If you say so," I said back to her.

Once we arrived at school, people were commenting on Violet's hair and on Sarah's arrest.

"Hey Violet can I have a quote from you for the school blog?" Asked a girl named Hayes. Hayes had dark skin and her hair was full of braids.

Violet seemed to be thinking, but then she said "My hair is just there to match my name."

"I thought you were named after a flower," Hayes responded to her.

Violet then said back at Hayes, "I'm not a flower, I'm a cool color."

Then we started to walk away.

"Wait, Heather can I get a quote about Sarah killing Robert?" Hayes shouted behind me.

I quickly turned around and said, "Sarah did not kill Robert." Then I walked away with Violet following me.

"Would either of you care to tell me why Sarah has been arrested and why her boyfriend got murdered?" Lacey asked stopping me in the hallway.

"I don't know why," Violet responded to her.

"I think it was the Red Fangs," I said. "I have a big target on my back with them. They want to kill me so I can't produce children for the gang. But Blake told me I didn't have to. Blake said he would do it for me. So I don't know why they are specifically after me. But I think Sarah's arrest has to do with them."

"We were there, Sarah didn't kill Robert," Violet added.

"Just tell the cops that it was a gang member who killed Robert, and not Sarah!" Lacey said angrily.

"I can't. If I do, then I will have to explain to the cops how I know that it was a gang member. Then I will be sent to jail for countless murders," I said back at Lacey.

Lacey then responded, "maybe you deserve to go to jail Heather. I know for sure Sarah didn't."

Lacey then walked away.

"Lacey wait!" I shouted behind her.

"How could this be happening?" I asked Violet.

"I'm wondering the same thing," she replied.

The bell rang and we went to find out first class. My first class was German. May, Jake, Violet, Lacey, and Hayes were all in that class. Sarah was supposed to be in that class. Robert was supposed to be in it too. One of my ex's, Max was in this class too. Max has light brown spiky hair and he's a running back on the varsity football team.

I sat with Violet and May while Lacey decided to sit on the other side of the room.

"I'm Mrs. Sauer your teacher for this year," the teacher greeted the class.

"Let's all say our names and say something you did over the summer. You go first," she said pointing to me.

I then said to the class, "I'm Heather Jenn, and something I did this summer was I spent a lot of time with this great guy. But then I messed up badly, now I'm just hoping he'll forgive me."

Max then said, "I bet 'I messed up badly' means she put it in the wrong hole."

Some of the guys around Max laughed. I felt me cheeks turn red as I sat back down.

Violet went next by saying, "I'm Violet Bloom and I got kicked out of my house this summer. Now I'm living with Heather!"

Next was May who said, "I'm May Viola and I went to see the new Star Wars movie!"

Lacey then shared, "I'm Lacey Harrow and I spent the summer with me friends. But then one of my friends got falsely arrested. You all know Sarah right? Yeah she did not kill Robert. The person who really is to blame is walking these school halls now as a free person while Sarah is in jail for a crime she didn't commit."

Jake then went saying, "I'm Jake Vico and I spent the summer with an amazing girl. She really messed up, but I wanna talk things through with her."

I felt the smile creep up on my face. I couldn't stop it from being there.

"I'm Max Mart and over the summer I banged some chicks," Max said. After that he added, "Also, good luck Jake. Heather is a real mouth full."

I gave Max the death stare and he just started laughing. Oh how I love school.

In WestFields High, everyone has to take some form of art. I chose dance. Everyone else in my friend group chose sculpting. I was gonna do sculpting, but the slots were all gone so I was stuck with my second choice, dance.

The girls in my dance group are Kim, Grace, and Lola. Kim is the captain of our dance squad. I also do sports. Blake forces me to do a sport every season so I do soccer, basketball, and spring track. Lola is on every sport team that I'm on, so that's cool for me. Blake also is making Violet do sports, but she only needs to do one sport per year. She chose tennis.

"Cmon girls!" Kim shouted at us.  "Twirl, twirl, split!  It's not that hard!"

"It is when you have shin splints," Grace complained. 

"Heather!  I don't know where your mind is, but you better be focused on the dance.  Our outside lives don't matter in here.  We are not cheerleaders who share their feelings.  Nobody cares if you are upset.  So don't bring feelings to the dance floor!" Kim was saying to me.

I ignored her.  I just couldn't stop thinking about Sarah.  I want to get her out of jail.  But how?  After school I'm gonna need to confront the Red Fangs.

"I need to use the bathroom," I told the other girls and then I left. 

In the hallway I saw Jake sitting outside the main office, trying to fill out a paper.

"Hey Jake," I said coming up to him.

"Right before first class they made me choose a language class, so I chose German.  Now they are making me chose a form of the arts.  I'm also being forced to choose a 21st century class.  Help I don't know what to do," Jake said to me in a tired voice.

"Maybe you can do karate," I offered.

"Why? So I can be part of your gang?" He said in an annoyed tone.

"No," I said back.  "I want to be with you, but I don't want to force you into the gang.  You can join if you want, but it's ok if you don't want to.  The gang is some serious shit.  Even if you aren't in the gang, I still want to be with you."

"I like the sound of that," Jake said.  "I'll try karate."

"For the 21st century class, pick whatever you like the most," I said to him.  "I'm doing Fashion."

"I'll do a video class," Jake said.

I went back to dance with the biggest smile on my face.  Jake and I are back together.  He knows about the gang and he still wants me.

All of a sudden I heard a loud bang, and the next thing I felt was my body hitting the ground.
