Fly Away (OLD VERSION) by strawberry-jam

An idea popped into my somewhat witty brain. "Ooh, can I call you 'Mophead', since that's what your hair looks like?" He laughed. The way his eyes lit up and the melodic ring of his voice was so freaking hot. He flicked his head to the side in an attempt to get his hair out of his face... Zack's voice snapped me out of my hopeless swooning. "No, but you can call me anytime," he replied with a flirtatious wink. ~~~ Sixteen year old Raven Westfield is searching for a fresh start after a horrible accident that ruined her life. She desperately needs to be in a new place, where nobody knows of her dark past of a ruined reputation, lies, and betrayal, so she leaves everything behind to start over in a new state.

The last thing she needs is for an anonymous letter to fall out of her locker, penned by a vigilante who knows her history much too well and is more than willing to use it against her. It's the only way they can avenge the other life lost during the tragedy- the shooter's. Jasmine must identify her threatener before they pick off the remaining survivors of the shooting, one by one. As she tries to stop them, she is faced with a crippling secret- she has fallen for her childhood best friend, a boy that goes against everything her family stands for.
