Chapter one
I had escaped. I was alive.
Shadows stretched across the setting sun as my Aunt Cj drove me to my new school at Marlwood Academy. The radio of our old Subaru was playing "Here Comes Santa Clause," and my trim, freckly strawberry blonde Aunt was humming along. My heart pounded; and i couldn't stop starring at the bone colored clouds that stretched across the December sky like the heavy fog far away at Marlwood Academy.
'One month ago, i almost died', i thought, and it seemed so unbelievable. But then again, my life had become unbelievable. All of it.
Last November, Me and parents were on our way back home. Lady gagas song "Just Dance" was playing in the background and my mom was laughing at one of my dads jokes, i just smiled at how happy they were. Then not paying attention our van went head on with a log truck. All i can remember is flying in the air and my mom looking back at me screaming. I woke up in the hospital the next day, feeling nothing at all. My parents died, but some how i didn't, i made it out.
Three weeks ago i had gotten a late acceptance on a full scholarship into the super-posh private boarding school to the rich and famous at Marlwood Academy, Located in the isolated mountains of Northern California.
With no idea of the the thoughts barreling through my head, Cj pulled off the freeway.
