Hoping for a Home


Well this is my first Hannah Montana fic. Please read and review so I know if it is good or not. It does go more into Hannah Montana in later chapters though if you want to stay with it. Thanks!


Prelude

"No, Mom. Please don't go again. What am I supposed to do while you're gone? I don't want to be alone again." said a girl to her mother as she left on another business trip.

"I don't know what you should do, and I wouldn't leave you alone if I could take you but I can't. I'm sorry. I'll be home tomorrow though, I promise." her mother replied and she walked out the door.

Chapter 1: Open Arms and Hearts Shelter

Cassandra sat on her bunk in the shelter. The doctors sent her to a special shelter that was far away from the small Texas town she had lived in all her life until now. They wanted to get her away from all those sad memories left behind after her mother's death. Her mom had promised to be back but she never did come back.

"This is all her fault." she thought. Then she laid her head down and cried until she fell asleep.

The next morning she found a new friend named Kelly. Kelly it seemed never even knew her parents. She had lived in many foster homes with people who abused her so she ran away every time. They finally got fed up with chasing her so they sent her here to The Open Arms and Heart Shelter.

Kelly spent her time reading and trying to find a place where they would know her and her dream was to finally find a family who wanted and cared for her. Kelly was the type though that would speak her mind to anyone who would listen.

"This Shelter food is horrible. I can't believe that they call this spaghetti. Looks to me like it's just a big gooey mess." She told Cassandra at lunch.

"Umm, is your name Cassandra?" asked a little boy who looked exhausted.

"Yeah, do you need me for something?" she replied.

"Yeah umm Mr. Johnson would like to see you in his office." he said handing her a note.

"Ok. Thanks." she said to the boy, then turning to Kelly, "I guess I'll see you later then."

Cassandra knocked on Mr. Johnson's door wandering what in the world he wanted with her.

"Come on in Cassandra and take a seat. We need to discuss where you will be going to school. The doctors from Texas say that it would be best to put you in a public school and they are willing to pay for it and anything else the school would need. Now most kids here at the shelter are home schooled. But it is your choice. Would you like to got to public school or stay here for school?" asked Mr. Johnson barely taking in any breath.

" Well umm, with what happened I don't really want to be around too many kids, but I guess I can at least try the school first. Which one am I going to?" she asked.

"Well, we decided it would be best if you went to Seaview High. It's just down the street and there are many opportunities for you. If this is where you decide you want to go, we can test you to see what classes you need to take. Then they will be graded and you should get your results after dinner, meaning you can start as early as tomorrow." he said taking out a booklet and answer sheet.

So for the next 2 hours, Cassandra took the placement test. She already knew that she would be put in an advanced science class because she already knew the whole Periodic table by heart and she loved science.

So after dinner, Cassandra went again to Mr. Johnson's office to get the results.

"Well, you show a real aptitude for Science." he said looking at the sheet in front of him. "So here is your schedule for school tomorrow. School begins at 9 and you will go to first period Algebra I in room 110, then World history in room 97, English I in room 119, and choir in the auditorium. Then you will go to lunch and then go to Chemistry I in room 103, PE in the gym, and then Sign Language in the second language building. Then at 4 o'clock you head back here for dinner and homework time. Does that sound ok to you?"

"Yeah. That sounds ok. Thank you Mr. Johnson but I need to go now so I can make sure I'm ready." Cassandra said taking the sheet from him.

"Ok, goodnight then and have a good day at school tomorrow."

She went back to her bunk and surprisingly Kelly was there waiting for her. Cassandra had told her everything after the first meeting and told her about what classes she was taking and how scary it was going to be, being around those people. To make her feel better, Kelly ran and got her Hannah Montana CD. It was one of her most prized possessions. She loved Hannah Montana. She gave it to Cassandra to listen to so she would feel better.

"Thanks Kel, but I don't know who Hannah Montana is." Cassandra said to her with a long face.

"Not know who Hannah Montana is? Well you can still borrow it. Listen to it. She is like totally awesome OK? And then have a good day at school tomorrow Cass." Kelly told her as she went to her bunk for lights out.

Cassandra just looked at the CD for a second then decided to try it. The next morning, she was glad that she had.
