It wasn't supposed to be like this. I was supposed to win the Junior Project, go to college, get married. Not be here, running in a place that is a bigger mystery to me then I am to anybody. I'm supposed to be home and happy, just a normal 17 year old. 
But that's not how it is. Perhaps if I close my eyes, I'll be back home, safe and sound from the rest of this harsh world....

Amara Rhodes has done something. Or at least, everything thinks she has. The evidence is too predictable, and the guilt is too overwhelming for her to handle, and she has to escape. When she does, she's forced to face what really happened on that night, even if it means consequences.

I watched him watch me as he was about to press his fist into the big red button that read "Emergency Fire!". I was unable to form words because, I thought about how hot he looked as he stared back at me with such intensity. It just intrigued me. I finally snapped out of my trance, but not because I'd came to my senses, but because I felt a cold sensation running down my body. I blinked about three times before it finally registered that he'd pressed the button and now water was spilling from the roof, and some students were laughing and playing. My breath hitched in my throat as he came closer. "You really should've worn a more, I don't know, a thicker shirt or bra. Because your two lovely friends are standing at attention." as the words left his mouth, realization caught up to me and I flushed with embarrassment and quickly crossed my arms over my chest. Talk about scarred for life! Jerk. Meet Charm Mill, your typical nerdface. She's the smartest girl in school, straight A's, great punctuality.. eveything in the book. She's also the invisible girl.
