When it came to being a typical teenager, Acacia thought she was far from it. She didn't do drugs like the other druggies in her school. Even though she enjoyed running, she didn't fit into the herds the jocks or the school-athletes that roamed the halls. She was disgusted by the gossip girls tossed behind each other's backs. Nerds and geeks walk pass her- what was the difference between an A+ and an A anyway? No, she was far the stereotypical suburb girl. How were you suppose to describe the girl who carried around a switchblades and paintbrushes in one pocket of her book bag, and books and shorts in another pocket? So when she disappears off the surface of her city's known world -for a second time- no one thinks anything about it. Besides, who cares about the other 10 or 20 or so people who has seeming went missing?
