(Flashback of 17 yr. Sam)
I sat there by my window looking out at the tall and big houses close by, i closed my eyes to hear the soft melody each raindrop tapped outside this cage I felt so locked in. Two years in this new town I can't say I wasn't happy here but felt a emptiness without my friends. I became Accustomed to everyone here and being invited to different gatherings but can't say I had much freedom in such decisions of who I'd have to befriend and even soon to be married to.... The day I had met my soon to be fiancé was at one of my parents parties for my fathers big job promotion under Mr.Harrington's business company. Big gatherings were never a big deal to me seeing how I liked to be alone most of the time. But this night my mother hired a hair and makeup artist to get me ready, later laying out an outfit for me to wear. A dark deep purple with white straps to hold onto and around the waist. My mother never cared much of how I looked to others but tonight was an exception.she walked next to me as I sat their looking at myself in my vanity mirror resting her hands on my shoulders.

Pamela: " tonight's a special night Samantha , you must be on your best behavior. Today we're not only just celebrating your father"
Sam: " who else is there to celebrate?"
Pamela: " very special guest you'll soon be able to meet"

After my mother finished her sentence she fixed her skirt and closed the door leaving me deep in my thoughts. I tried to think of what kind of special guest we were having. My first thought was my fathers boss and close friend but we've had him over before. I just decided to leave it at that and finished getting ready. I slipped on some heels and made my way downstairs. It soon became time for everyone to arrive and not a minute late everyone slowly arrived. We held the party outside behind the house, our backyard was very spacious and filled with beautiful plants. The perfect place for a party don't you think? I put on a face and started to talk with the other teens who came with their families. We casually talked about new hobbies, gossip we've heard, and our family's achievements.

Teen #1: " have you heard who just got engaged?"
Teen #2: " chad and Melanie of course I was there"
Sam: " aren't they just 18?"
Teen #3: " my parents were engaged at the same age and some of the other adults too even at 16"
Teen #1: " why yes it really isn't unusual to be arranged now a days"

They were all right it really wasn't, arranged marriages between successful businesses or wealthy families was normal. It never bothered me due to the fact I know I'd never had go through that any time soon..

Teen #2: " you know sam I heard a rumor going around about you and a mystery boy"
Sam: "may I ask what rumor?"
Teen #2: " I heard from my aunt who heard from a family friend of hers that you had caught someone's eye even to say an eye to marry you"
Sam: " you must be mistaken for if that was true I'd truly would have met this person you speak of"
Teen #3: "if what you say is true (teen #1) then you must know who it must be , you must tell us"
Teen #1: " well then this gentleman who has his eye on our dear friend Samantha is E-"
Before she could even finish that sentence one of the maids had came up to us and tapped my shoulder. She gave a little curtsy and spoke.
Maid: " Pardon me ms.manson your mother has asked me to call you to her , she's in the living room"
Sam:*nods* " of course , you must excuse me I'll only be a minute"

I left the backyard and walked inside the house feeling every step sink into my thoughts. Me engaged?.. did my dad know about this or my mother. But this has to be a mistake not every rumor is always true I told myself to calm my nerves down. I tried to let the thought go until I entered the living room to see my mom and Mr.Harrington at the door. I gave a small smile and said "yes mother?"
