Written in memory of Avigail Baron. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will's frustrated. All his life, he had been living isolated from the world and kept prisoner in his own house. Yet still, people envy him, because he has everything you could wish for: a huge house, food whenever he wants, servants, rich parents who love him. And that's exactly the problem. Fire's hopeful. She meets new people every day but always wishes for more. To the people surrounding her, she's a ghost, without a mind and feelings. Her mother thinks she's someone else, and her father is always too drunk to care. The people she's working with only care about how hard she works. Still, Fire knows that somewhere, someone is waiting for her. Hazel's scared. She just moved into a new country and a new school, barely knowing the language. Luckily, her best friend moved with her, and everything seemed to be fine- until school started, and her friend starts to fit in better than she does. Rose's confused. She moved into a new country with her best friend and expected nothing but fun. But then she makes new friends, and suddenly they are all mad at her for no apparent reason- even Hazel. And they are all going to the same school, attending eigth grade. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This started as a school project, developed into a private story, and now I realized I can share it here (I wrote it a long time ago). It needs a LOT of editing though, so it might take me a week or two weeks to publish a new chapter. I hope you enjoy it!!
