They say that everyone who looks into their family history will find a secret sooner or later. Little did we know that sooner was a lot closer than later.

We're rich kids of Blossom Bay. A rich suburb of the Empire State! Blossom Bay patrons were one of a kind here and there were none like us! The homes were neat and kept but no two homes were alike. No matter where you looked you always seen someone dressed to impress in their Sunday's Best. The crisp air smelled of silver and gold bricks along with vaults of money. This was one of New York's most elite communities.

Everything these people touched turned to millions! Even the grass glistened gold!

But as four families would learn the years was that will millions in the bank sometimes comes with not only sacrifice but also a lifetime of secrets and lies. Lives would be forever changed.

98 Primrose Creek was a beautiful red brick home that sat on the edge of the street. A summer wreath hung perfectly centered on the pure white door & a sign that read, "Fowler Real Estate." The grass was cut low & the bushes along with windows perfectly trimmed.

"Freya we're gonna be late! We need to leave NOW!"

A young brown eyed babe slipped out of the home to a shining black Mustang that was parked out front.

"I'm coming Ivy! Damn have some patience will you?" Freya closes herself into the car before it rolled off.

"Patient? What were you doing anyway? It's not like you were putting any effort into your clothing! You haven't for a while actually. Why are you wearing that oversized sweater dress anyway? How old are you 50?" Ivy tapped her leopard sunglasses over her eyes and floored the gas. The breeze flashed through their thick curly brown hair as they raced a few blocks over to Coral Valley High. Freya, on the other hand, sat in the passenger seat looking out away from her sister.

"Yea I guess so..." Freya whispered.

Coral Valley High School! If your parents couldn't cough up some thousands of dollars for the school year you best keep looking! This high school was tough to get into and even tougher to get out of! You had to have the brains of Einstein or talent like Kobe! Anything less wouldn't be tolerated.

The West Wing of Coral Valley was bustling with high school students. The jocks were to the left and the goths were to the right! You had your higher intellectuals and then you had your manipulative jackasses who didn't have the clue of a goldfish!

The car wasn't even parked yet and all Ivy could say was, "remember you need to practice your speech for the conference this weekend! You've been slacking lately sis!"

"Well takes one to know one! You need to practice your potion of the speech too! I can't do it without your half! We're two of a kind remember?"

Ivy rolls her eyes and struts her stuff towards the science wing. Her knee high gladiator sandals clacking against the concrete and her short denim skirt grabbing the attention of the hockey players. You can only watch, agitated, as she walks away.

"You must love being an identical twin huh?" A curvy fair skinned girl said as she walked up behind me. She wore a white tank top with stretchy black & gray sports bottoms and pink Nike tennis shoes. Her grey jacket wrapped around her her waist & clinching the straps of her backpack confidently showing off her coke bottle figure.

"Ughhh Megan if only you knew the half! I swear she's been on my case lately! I just wish she'd leave me alone!"

Hesitant Megan shrugs her shoulders & says, "well you've been through a lot Freya. With Aaron being gone...."
