"This is Ashley Burns reporting live on oak street where a house was just minuets ago went up in flames. All we know now is that there is a family of three living here. As of yet there are no known survivors...wait I think I see one of the fireman carrying something out."Ashley walks closer towards the fireman to get a better look. "I believe that it's a baby. It would be a miracle if a baby lived through a fire like that." She later confirms that a baby girl did survive the fire and she was being placed in foster care.

Seventeen Years Later...

"Hey mom I'm gonna be late for school can you give me a ride?" I yelled down the stairs to my mom.

"You can just take the car Ava, I wont need it until tonight.' she yelled back. I run down the stairs grab the keys and give her a kiss on the cheek in thanks then hurry out the door and hop in the car.

When I get to school there's hardly anyone outside since it was passed nine and everyone was in class. As I was walking down the hall towards my first class I turned a corner half way there and tripped over something. I broke my fall with my arms. When I got up I turned to see that it was Nina Logan's who tripped me. I also noticed that all the other popular kids where standing around her.

I just tried to ignore them as I brushed off my legs and kept walking but when I walked by Tyson Cole I felt his eyes on me as I walked down the hall to class.

Lunch...

"Haley guess who I ran into when I got to school." I said at our regular lunch table.

"Was it Nina's cult again?" my friend Jenny asked looking at us across the table.

Andrea chose that moment to sit down by me and say, "I heard that Nina and her wanna bees tried to kill you." I gave her a wtf look then said, "You have got to stop listening to all the gossip!" she then replied, "But that's where I hear all the juicy news!"

We all just look at her for a few seconds before laughing hard enough to make our selves cry. When we finally got our laughter under control the bell rang for next period. We said our good-byes, Andrea sent me a look telling me that our conversation wasn't over, and headed off to class.

My last class of the day is my favorite, to bad I have to sit behind Nina and one of her friends. During the whole time all they would do was gossip. Evan though I was right behind them and could hear everything they would still talk about me. I was always relived when the final bell rang letting me out of my own personal hell.
