Chapter 1. Not The End & Not The Beginning.

•Chance P.O.V•

I wait for her, standing awkwardly outside of the English room. My eyes roaming the halls, looking for her chestnut hair. But there's no sign of her. Come on Sawyer, where the hell are you?!

The bell rings, signalling the start of class, I let out a heavy sigh and step into the English room where Ms. Cross is waiting for me. Sawyer and I were suppose to be the first ones to present the project.

"Mr. Stone, where is Ms. Queen?" The snappy teacher bites out, I roll my eyes and shrug my shoulders, she adds on, "I guess you'll have to do it by yourself than."

I nod my head politely and stroll over to the DVD player which is connected to the TV. I move around the desk and take a seat just when the TV screen lights up. I decided to put on Sawyers video first, since she insisted I do so.

I smile to myself when Sawyer's face pops up and than she begins to speak. You know what? This project is pretty stupid, I thought it would be even worse with Chance Bryce Stone as my partner, but boy was I wrong.

I remember the first time I met Chance, it was at Frankie's diner as I was on my shift. He was with, Riley Summers, Miles Fisher, Nash Tucker and Vincent Cortez. They didn't make fun of me for my speech impediment. I was so scared, and it almost seemed as if the world stopped moving when he looked up at me with his golden brown eyes.

Than, the next day he came in with his family, they're beautiful by the way. He really cares for them. But what really got to my heart was when he paid for my siblings supper when I couldn't. He made me feel something other than hatred. And that frightened me even more.

My siblings are my life, Britain Mitchell and Meryl Greene. Chance captured both their hearts, I guess that's what he's good at. I learned that Chance's favourite color is swamp green. I know it sounds gross, but the way he describes it, is beautiful.

Its the color of the deep blue ocean, where the blues run out and its about to hit black. There's a thin layer of green in it. I also now know his favourite food is homemade mac and cheese.

I don't really understand the reason for this project, but I'm glad that we had it. This is a big change for me, speaking to all of you. I'm invisible, always has been, always will be. I have learned so much about Chance and now I know why people love him.

Its not hard to.

I told Chance to cut things out about my life, so you guys wouldn't know, but I realise that's not fair. So here I am, opening up about how I ended up in foster care.

The silent room is filled with gasps as I sit here frozen in my seat, what is she doing? Had she gone mad?!

Those were impressive gasps Her voice says, I watch her smile tightly as she fumbles with her Polaroid camera in her hands, something she did when she was nervous.

We were a family of five, there was me, my Mom, Dad and my two sisters. Fiona was the oldest, than there was me, and than May. Fiona was sick, she had this rare blood cancer; she died eight years ago, she was only twelve. Than there was just me and May.

I was terrified when I heard the news the day after, My mom, dad and my ten year old sister May died in a house fire the first time I went to a sleepover.
