"Tell you what?" I ask, trying to convey as much truthfulness although we both know I'm lying.

"Samantha, look at me. What are you so afraid of?" Those eyes, stupid beautiful brown eyes. They convince me to tell him. Mustering up as much courage as I can I look him straight in the eye and say,

"I don't know if I can, but I'll try."

Every year her family moves. Their most recent location, Malibu, Florida was the longest they have stayed in home. The reason they moved however was not because of her father's work.

She will be a Junior in her new high school and for the first time she has given up on trying to get the one thing she needs.
