HENDRIX:
'EVERYONE SAYS YOU HAVE A BLANK SLATE.' My brother, Axle, sits next to me on the grass, arms resting against his bare knees. Trees and bears I can handle. It's not knowing who I can and can't trust. Now I'm home. And that's the problem. It's why he's next to me. With our friends and family in our backyard as my 'welcome home party' I specifically told Axle I didn't want. A person in this very yard is why I spent a year in jail for a crime I certainly didn't commit. I can feel my whole body tense up, and I roll out the anger. 'You're getting a massive second chance.' Axle says. It was rotten luck that had gotten me into this mess. Our Governor was choosing messed up teens to put his program into flight. An important person thought I was worth a second chance. 'This is a good thing. A blank slate. Not many people get one of those.' My brother says. The fire crackles and pops, and I hear my sister laugh. She's grown up fast. Faster than I would've liked. And according to Axle, it was all her idea to throw this party. I chuckle, 'of course it was.' Then I saw Jeremy. Holiday's supposed 'ex'. 'I thought you said they broke up.' I said indicating to Jeremy and Holiday. I've had people coming up to me and welcoming home and all I want to do is lie on my bed and sleep. 'I forgot to mention earlier,' my brother says. 'You have a press conference tomorrow.' A what?! 'When?' I ask. '12:30 sharp according to som chick called Cynthia.' He said rolling his eyes. 'Well I better get to bed then. Seeing as we're going to the fair at 10.' I say as an excuse to escape. 'Yeah, right. Goodnight Drix.' He replies. 'Goodnight Axle.'
