A/N: I lost the original first chapter so I'm sorry if this isn't exactly the same.

Chapter One:

"Do you want me to do it?" I asked my best friend Spike as he tried to hotwire the awesome red convertible in front of me.

"No I can do it," He said shooing me to stand elsewhere.

"You guys maybe this isn't the best idea,"said Spike's stalker(a.k.a:wannabee girlfriend) Laura.

I grinned, "What? Hotwiring a car or driving underage?"

"Anya I think you have mental issuses."

"Why because I refuse to be a girly girl like you?

"Girls it's ready," Spike shouted to us as the car roared to life.

I ran towards the car.

"NO I REFUSE TO RISK MY LIFE. See you Monday."

"Wuss," I muttered as I jumped into the passenger's seat.

"Priss is more like it," Spike said with a smile and in that moment my secret fear that Spike actually liked Laura vanished.

We drove around for a while and ended up in the park where we had spent so many elementary school days.

I went and laid on top of the picnic table. Spike did some weird flippy thing and joined me.

"Truth or Dare?" I asked him.

He sighed, "Truth I guess."

"What do you love for in a girl?"

He smiled, "Well she's got to be tougher than Laura, strong, funny,smart."

He leaned over and kissed my forehead, "She's got to be just like you."

I rolled my eyes, "Sorry but girls like me are in short supply these days."

He laughed, "I better get you home before your dad has a stroke."

Now I always knew riding in a car with Spike was dangerous(Even though he was fourteen he never even considered drivers training) but we'd been doing reckless crap like this for as long as I could remember.

I reached for the radio, "You mind," I asked him.

He shook his head, "I don't care."

'Tragic Kingdom' by No Doubt came blaring from the stereo.

"I love this song."

It all happened so fast. Horns blared, tires screeched and the next thing I knew our car had flipped over in a ditch. I put my arms above my head in a desperate attempt not to hit the ground but the pain gripped my head instantly.

"Spike," I called looking to where my best friend's body hang limply from the seat. I took in the full sight and thought I would be sick. Blood was everywhere and a substance I'd never seen before, brains, gushed from his head.

I called my best friend's name one last time before the darkness gripped me and I fell asleep.
