Present day

I threw my reading glasses on my desk, pinched the bridge of my nose, and rested my feet on the table. First graders. They Drive me crazy.
Singing, painting, counting, shoe tying, nose wiping. I cringed when I thought of all the nose wiping I had done today. I groaned, at least I found a job as a teachers assistant, not many districts hire you when you don't have much experience working in the school system. But this was a small town so I didn't expect much competition for the job.

      My brother and I just moved here about four weeks ago. So far I have moved about five times in my lifetime. Always every year on my birthday week or month, we have to go to a different state. So when moving around I never really made any friends. Being the only girl in the family besides my mother I was always kind of tom-boyish.

But I have made a friend, she is one of my co- workers her name is Camille. She's extremely funny, beautiful, smart, and has a very big ego. But also a big, kind heart to go along with it.

" Angie?" I straightened up and looked at Mr. Peters. He was leaning on the door staring at me with a mixture of curiosity, and amusement. " Yes, Darren?" I asked putting my glasses back on. He chuckled and smirked.

"Rough day huh?" he asked.
He. Was. So. Handsome.
He had dark brown hair, hooded green eyes he had a light stubble on his face and a white beautiful smile. To bad he belonged Mrs. Peters. She was too beautiful for words with her short blonde hair and big brown eyes she was very smart and had the most cutest personality, she was kind and caring and was expecting a baby soon. How much I wanted a boyfriend. But all the good ones are taken.

" Oh yeah, haha you don't know the half of it." I groaned getting up slowly, and collecting my things.

" So I guess I'll see you guys on Monday, have a good weekend Darren " I waved walking out the classroom door.

"Let me walk you out Angela."
He standing aside, letting me go ahead. I still couldn't get used to that name.

Angela.

My parents changed my name three times already my birth name is Jacqueline my second was Serena, and now it's Angela.

I don't know why my parents would move all the time. I was always to scared to ask them. It was obvious we are running from something. But soon I would find out.

I don't know why they changed our names.

But now it's too late for answers.

Because my father has dead for the past year. And my mother went missing seven months ago.

" Ahh" I moan while slipping in the warm bath. Finally I was home everything was done.
I was having me, myself, and I time.

Peace and Quiet.

Just Peace and Quiet.

Then I heard the phone ring. I groaned and let it go to voice mail.

Beep.
" This is Angela, sorry I couldn't get to the phone. Please leave your name and number and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Beep.

I was jolted out of my serenity by Tamara's babbling voice.
      " Hello, chica! It's Camille. You will never believe what happened to me today! I won three tickets to go to that club on Rockville Ave, you know the one. The dark moon. I'm so excited to go, I already have my dress picked out and everything. So that's why I wasn't at work today because I was dress shopping I picked out the most amazing dress. Oh my god, i'm so excited, there are some amazingly hot men there. Sam and Tina from work went and the said the men look like freaking gods. I'm so excited. Anyway like I said, I got three tickets so me you and X- man are going. So whenever you get this message call me back so I know your going. Okay bye!"

The dark moon?

I've heard plenty of stories about that club. It has been open for a couple of weeks, I've been told. Right now it's one of the most popular clubs in the state everyone is trying to get in but access is very limited. Well I guess going wouldn't hurt, and plus I needed a break.

Well, It is Friday night and I have nothing to do. Going out wouldn't hurt, and I wouldn't even drink tonight I would just sip. Yeah,sip. I'll go.
I text Tammy and tell her I was in.
I go in to my closet and found nothing to wear.
I rarely went shopping because we couldn't afford much, just the essentials. But we manage just fine. I had to call tamara and tell her I couldn't go. Pity. I guess i just had to sit home and relax in the tub and sleep. I rang tammy and she picked up after the third ring.

" Hey "

" Hey tammy, I cant go I really have a
nothing to wear girl, it totally sucks. But hey, why don't you and xavier just go without me? You guys could tell me about everything later okay?"

" I have the perfect dress for you stop, we will pick you up in ten okay. I gotta get ready girl. Bye Ang! "

" Wait, tammy!" I interjected but she hung up. I stomped over to my vanity and started appling some makeup.

When I was undressing I stopped to look at the birth mark on my neck where my shoulder and neck meet. It has been there since I can remember it was the shape of a abstract paw my parents told me it just a coincidence It looked like that.  A beauty mark they told me it was.
Sometimes it burns and makes me feel hot. I haven't gone to a doctor because my parents never let me go. But I just thought if they didn't take me it was for the best. I continued to get dressed until I heard a knock on the door.
