~Prologue~

I got out of my sister's car with a smile on my face. To me, smiling had been a very rare habit. but today, I could feel it somehow. For the first time in too long, I was happy. I got 96 over 100 in my Biology test. And I really wished my dad would be proud of me this time.

Just for once.

Maybe he'd let me do anything like Gretchen? Maybe he'd let me...

But then I stopped and thought about it again.

No, he never would.

If my mom was there, I wouldn't be so scared of everything. I wouldn't be so enclosed on my own self. I wouldn't be so terrified of him.

I sighed as I followed my older sister into our house. As usual, she had the keys and I never did.

I stepped in and caught sight of my father. Reading a newspaper. Thank goodness he wasn't drinking this time. I approched him slowly before I extended my hand with the test paper in it for him to see silently. He took it from me without even looking up at my face.

"What the hell is this?" he said coldly, now looking at me as he quirked his right eyebrow.

"I..." I trailed off, struggling for an explanation. But then he shouted at me.

"Couldn't you get a hundred, you loser? Do you always have to be so dumb? Gretchen always got hundreds on her tests! why couldn't you just be like her?" he yelled with anger as he looked at me with despise.

I could feel my knees shaking when he threw the paper at my face. I bent down and picked it up. Then without hesitation, I just ran upstairs. When I entered my room, I slammed the door shut without looking back.

I threw myself onto my bed and started to cry. I really needed my mother right now. why did you leave, mom. why?

I always felt so hopeless, so scared of doing anything. I've never had a friend and I wasn't even allowed to go anywhere or know anyone.

Why did you leave me like this, mom? why couldn't you just take me with you?

Thoughts continued to flood my mind the same way my tears were flooding my face as they came out more and more. My heart was breaking every second. I never was enough. And I never would be. No matter what I did.

My thoughts were cut off with the loud noise of a car's horn outside. I got up to look out of my window. The window that I had always opened only to make the sunlight enter my room every now and then.

I looked around the place and I understood where that noise came from when I saw a huge moving truck parking in front of the house that was right next to ours. It was the first time I had ever seen a moving truck in my seventeen years of life. All I knew about them was from the books I used to read, and Google.

In front of the truck, there was a black jeep from which a family had started to come out. There was a man, whom I assumed was the father. A very elegant-looking lady, whom I assumed was his wife. And finally, a boy who seemed to be around my age. His face looked familiar but I had no idea where I'd ever seen him.

I looked behind me carefully to see if I didn't get caught yet before going and locking my door from inside.

I headed back to my window and looked closer. The man and the woman had gone into the house. But the boy stood there to watch the men moving the furniture into the house. It was some beautiful, modern furniture, I must admit. Ours was too old and traditional in compare to that.

I took a closer look at the boy himself. He had brown hair and he smiled happily. He seemed to have no worries in the whole world. I wished I could be like this.

His eyes were navy blue. just like the ocean. They stood out from the distance and they looked so beautiful. This was the first time I had ever gotten to look at a boy -or any living human who wasn't family, for that matter- without looking away at the same second.

I let out a sigh and shook my head as I walked away from my window. New neighbors, not that I'd get to know any of them, anyway.

I never got to know anyone.

But little did I know then, that this night would be the start of a major change to my entire life...
