And here's a bit from the footage of my own race. My demons, they're not welcoming. Don't stay too long or they might devour you.

McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.

"Excuse me? If anyone is a brat, that's you," he yelled. "You get everything you want from your parents. You want money? Done! They get you married me so you can live in luxury and use me for my money. You want fame? Yeah, use me again because you can't be more famous than being one of the Kings' spouses. You want sex?-" I stopped him right there with a punch, square in the jaw. I'm sure I heard a crack somewhere, but he deserved it. That was low- even for him! Anger boiled inside me, the last thing I wanted to do was marry him and he blames it on me! He seemed to be surprised at the force of my punch, but then I realised that he didn't know I was in the FBI. "I...don't...want...any...of...your...shit!" I said loud and clear, venom lacing every word, "You have no right to judge me, especially when you don't even know me." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a story of several different lives that fate decided to collide. As the saying goes "Life is full of surprises,"- anything can happen when you Least Expect It.
