"Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that by forces- Newton's First Law of Motion"

"Every teen girl persists and pursues good things in her life and concentrates only on studies until her secret indulgences are ready to unveil- Anisesh's Law of Twisted Teens"

Super rich kids are supposed to have fun which never ends. Brianna Parker is that kind of super rich kid and her fun also never ends but unfortunately Christmas holiday always ends. The school was to be reopened the next day and Brianna said to herself,

"There comes the toughest part. I can't sleepover in Lexton's house today and for couple of months because of this damn boring school which is going to reopen tomorrow, so I'm going to spend the whole day with Lexton as I will be missing him a lot."

Brianna's words were very true because Lexton and Brianna won't be to the going to the same school next year. She turned sixteen, so she will be going to Junior year (11th grade) from tomorrow and he is eighteen, so he will be going to college. Another sad news for Brianna is Lexton is going out of town to pursue his higher education in Harvard, and he is not gonna be near her until next Christmas.

So it was the last day of roaming and having fun together, and they enjoyed the day to the fullest till the time to depart arrived. Both had the fear of long distance relationship and consoled each other that they will cross through it and will stick together. They mutually agreed for a daily Skype call, and they promised each other that they won't miss out the call and make any excuses.

Brianna's First day at Junior Year

Even though Brianna felt miserable going to school without Lex, she felt equally excited since she will be in her junior year and will be celebrating her name and fame in the school which she enjoyed right from her sophomore year. Brianna is the most attractive, alluring, tall, thin, brown-eyed and celebrated kid of the West View High-school both for her grades and for her cheer-leading fame as well.

Brianna entered into the school hallway. Brianna was like a princess in her black and garnet color-blocked Bow-Back dress.

"Hey Bri, How are you? You look stunning as usual", Stacey Williams greeted her near the lockers in the hallway.

"Thanks Stacey, I'm good. How you've been and how was Christmas holidays at your grannies place?", Brianna asked Stacey.

"Ya, was good but it was pretty much boring. It would've been more fun if I had stayed here. I would not have missed your birthday party", Stacey replied her.

They both chit-chatted there for a few minutes and Stacey moved to the classroom. Brianna said that she will join her in the classroom after leaving her stuffs in the locker.

Stacey Williams is Brianna Parker's best friend right from sophomore. She is also her cheer-leading partner. Both were like soul sisters as their thoughts and deeds matched. They both enjoyed each others company and their secrets were safe within them.

Brianna opened her locker and kept her personal things in it and when she was about to close the locker a scarlet envelope fell from her locker. She took the scarlet envelope in her hand and wondered. She tried to recollect if she is the one who kept it in her locker and if belonged to her or if it is someone's letter misplaced in her locker. When she was about to open the letter to find out what was in it, the school bell rang, so she slid the letter into her book and kept it in the backpack and rushed to the classroom.

It was break time in the school and the students were busy leaving their classrooms to cafe for their lunch break. Stacey and few of her friends called Brianna to join them for the lunch, but she asked them to leave and said that she will join them in a while.

Brianna thought that she wanted to be alone for sometime, and she wanted to be away from the buzzing bunch of her friends which she used enjoy till her freshman year but today at the first day of her junior year itself she felt them as a torture and not exciting anymore. It is not that she hated them but that she couldn't enjoy all the fun by herself without Lex.

In freshman year she, her friends, Lex and his friends used to be hanging out together in the cafe during the lunchtime and those times were like a golden era for Brianna. The whole West Side High-School used to envy their gang but today she sat alone in the classroom and left a huge sigh thinking about those lovely memories. She pulled out her phone and left a message that she miss him badly.

It was depressing for her to sit alone and think about Lex as nothing is going to change for the next two years. She gained her strength and thought to leave the classroom to join her friends in the cafe. When she was about to keep her book inside her backpack, she noticed the scarlet envelope which was peeping out of a book in which she had slid it hurriedly in the morning.

Brianna took the letter and opened the scarlet envelope. She found a white sheet of paper inside it and the letters in it were written in scarlet color. The first thing that came into her mind after seeing the scarlet ink in white sheet is "warning and mystery". She felt a strange, uncomfortable and stomach churning feel before reading it.

She said to herself, "Don't over-think", and read the letter.

Brianna became totally numb and stumbled after reading the letter

Brianna became totally numb and stumbled after reading the letter. A few seconds later, she realized that it's the time to react and she can think about everything later. She hurriedly pushed the scarlet letter and the envelope inside her bag, and she ran to the locker like a crazy girl. She looked around to check if someone is watching her and when she felt it is safe, she opened the locker and searched it. At last, she spotted the red envelope in the locker. She then took the envelope, hid it in her book and kept it inside the backpack.

Once she entered into the empty classroom, she placed the backpack in the table and took the book which had the red envelope in it. She hid the book in her thighs and moved her legs under the table because she decided to open the envelope secretly and suddenly if somebody enters into the classroom, she can hide the envelope and act like she was just reading the book.

Nervously, she opened the red envelope. Her jaw dropped after seeing the envelope. She literally gaped her mouth in shock, and her face reddened like the color of the envelope.
