Hi guys! I made this story awhile ago on this account but I stopped after awhile because of school. But now I'm back! School is out in 4 days, and I have 2 MONTHS to work on this story! So, since I abandoned this story I decided to delete it and start over. Tweak some things, and make it a little bit better than before. I also have 4 premade chapters already to be uploaded, so please read and review! Thank you! I promise it will get more interesting!

CHAPTER ONE:

"It's been 7 years since you've last seen him. How do you know for sure if he's even there?" She placed her coffee cup on the table.

"I don't. But, this is my last chance at finding him. I've heard from a couple of people he might be there, so I'm just going to go with that. I'm desperate."

Her mother looked at her sympathetically. "But Demi….have you at least done any research on the school yet? Do you meet the criteria? GPA high enough? Tuition fees?" She swept a hand through her hair in frustration.

"No….but it really isn't necessary. It's probably going to be just like all the other boarding schools I've been to. It isn't a high class boarding school. It's ordinary. Besides, if I have to I'll make sure I meet the criteria." She placed a 5 dollar bill on the table, picked up her bag and exited the shop.

As she stepped outside, she took in the chilly breeze of December. Putting on her gloves, she grabbed her scarf and brought it closer to her face. She took a moment to take in her surroundings. Tall buildings staring down at her and city lights as far as the eye could see. It seemed like everyone was in a rush. Either on their phones busily chatting away, or people chasing down taxis like their life depended on it. It was like the city never slept. But she was use to this by now. New York was never a place of solitude.

Finally deciding it was time to leave, she blended into the crowd. Just like everyone else she dashed to the side of the street waving down a taxi.

The driver looked up into the mirror "Where to miss?"

"3 blocks down, house to the left please."

When she arrived to the house she paid the man, and made her way to the door. She pressed the doorbell, and waited for an answer.

"Demi!" She was immediately engulfed into a hug.

She stood there shaking her head laughing. "Nice to see you too Selena. Can I come in?"

When she let her go, she nodded with a grin glued to her face.

She walked inside the house and placed her things down. "Listen, I have a favor to ask." Taking a seat on the couch, she motioned for her to sit down as well.

When she sat down, she asked "Sure, what do you need?"

Demi grabbed her friend's hands and placed them on her lap. She waited for about 1 minute until Selena couldn't take the suspense anymore, and begged her to continue. Exhaling a breath and closing her eyes, she finally said "Will you please lend me 30,000 so that I could get into the boarding school in town? I know it's a lot of money, but I promise I'll pay it all back as soon as I c—"

Selena interrupted her with a laugh. "Demi, that was the big favor? I thought it was something serious. 30,000 is nothing. I spent maybe 50,000 two weeks ago on my Thanksgiving party." Still giggling she pulled her purse onto her lap and pulled out her checkbook, and wrote her a check.

Letting out a sigh, Demi thanked her repeatedly until Selena begged her to stop. Selena keep saying how it was no big deal, and that she didn't need to pay her back. 30,000 would seem like a large amount to any average person, but it really is "no big deal" for Selena. Her family is very wealthy since they inherited it all from her grandmother who used to be royalty. Demi on the other hand wasn't as fortunate to have that kind of money.

When they finally settled down Selena asked, "So what did you say you needed it for? Boarding school? Are you trying to get someone in?"

"Yeah it's for the boarding school in town. I'm trying to get in so I can search for Zac. This is the last lead I have on him."

She nodded her head in understanding. "I'm all for it, but the thing is….."

Demi looked at her in confusion. "What is it?"

"…..It's an all-boy school."
