orphan in the hood

Ayva believes she's seen it all - or so she thinks. When she was only 4 her parents got shot. Since than she lived and grew up in a foster home as she refused to have any 'fake parents' as she called them. She spent her days writing songs. She talks to her parents every other day and prays for them and her welfare. Around her neck dangles a necklace; her mothers old cross necklace. She didn't let her unfortunate life sculpt her though. She went to dance classes when she was young, and now runs regularly and became quite a social butterfly. She also goes a to work. She met her bestfriend Tory through dance. She shares a house with Tory. She starts public school and finds it more interesting than the home schooling she received at the foster home. She is faced with many characters and different opinions. She finds a part Portuguese friend she can now speak with. Using the language she was determined all her young life to learn for her parents. She could finally speak with it, and she sounded as fluent as if it was her first language. But he isn't exactly what she was looking for. Rough, tatted and handsome, 17 year old Jayden. When the truth comes out the unexpected happens. Will Tory finally find out who killed her parents? Will she finally find love, or gain an enemy? All will be revealed in 'Orphan And The Thug'
