Samantha. Samantha Parker, that's me. I live with my mom, Claire, and my brother, Jason. My father died at age eight, ever since he died my family became quiet. My mom works at a flower shop near by our apartment, and my brother goes to a high school near my middle school. I go to Brookefield Middle School I'm a junior, too. I don't get noticed, and I'm not bullied. I guess you could say I'm a 'Wallflower'. I don't have any friends, well maybe one only. Her name is Elena, she's sweet, kind, independent, and she'll listen to anyone. I imagine her as a sister but she's my neighbor, and goes to a different school. One day I was walking to school, and I always pass by a forest. A voice called my name. Everytime I turn to look, I just see nothing. I've never tell anyone because, if I did they'd think I've gone crazy or something else. I've got to keep this a secret!
**Are you guys surprised this isn't a fan fic? I've wanted to do a story like this for a while, I'm so glad I'm finally doing this. I've matured my writing so I won't write like, 'Katie looked outside and saw a cute, adorable, little bunny jumping up and down', I've matured because of the role playing I do. I hope you love this book, story, etc. I've gotten inspired by my friend THESPYXII and the author of Divergent, Veronica Roth! Well, thanks for reading!**
