Ok so this is my third fanfic. And I am going to have all of the clothes on my profile, so go check them out.

My eyes are open wide

By the way,

I made it through the day.

I watch the world outside

By the way,

I'm leavin-

My music abruptly stopped, as I shot my hand out and hit the snooze button. Today is the last day of school, and I did not want to get up and go. They were starting some summer program, and that is the only reason I want to get up. Hopefully this will be something that could look good to colleges. I needed to get as much of an edge as I could to get as much scholarship money as possible. And to get into the college in the first place.

"Be-ella. Get down here or you will be late for school." My mom was constantly paranoid that if I missed even 1 second of school I would get kicked out. And I have an extremely clean record to prove for it. But that could also be a point for my dad. He's the sheriff in some small town, but when he lived with us I got lectures on the law. But my parents fell 'out of love' as they put it. But I doubt they were ever 'in love' in the first place. They just put on a façade for me. Now I live with my mom in Phoenix, Arizona. And my dad lives in a small town that nobody's ever heard of.

I went to my closet to get something to wear, and noticed a bag in the corner. I tried to leave it alone, but my curiosity overcame me. I opened the bag and found it was filled with clothes. Like brand new clothes, for ME. I ran down the stairs.

"Mom, where did that bag come from?" She looked at me puzzled for a moment, because it takes some time for her to connect things in her mind.

"Oh, the clothes. There was a sale at the mall and I got you some new clothes. I figured you would need them for this project at school." I hugged her tight, but while in the midst of a hug; I noticed the clock. 7:35. I only had five minutes or I would miss the bus. I raced upstairs and grabbed my favorite jeans, and two tank tops. For some reason I had been wearing two tank tops all week. The finishing touch to my outfit was a pair of flip flops. Then I went to the bathroom and put on mascara and lip gloss. A glance at the clock told me it was 7:39. Perfect timing. I walked out of my house and up the street towards my bus stop; only stopping to wait on Brit outside her house. My best friend was about 5'1", and had long blonde hair. And the craziest fashion sense in the world. Today she walked out of her house wearing a Renaissance-ish shirt and black jeans. She is about the only person in the world I know who could pull that look off.

"Hey Brit. Are you excited about summer vacation?"

"Of course. But do you have any inkling of this project they are having us do?" She also uses weird words. She is just a weird person. The bus pulled up and we waited in line to get on. We always sat in the third and fourth rows, after our moms read the same article saying these were the two safest seats on the bus. I didn't believe it, but it made my mom happy so I really didn't care.

"If I did, wouldn't I have already told you? Besides, the whole point is that it is a secret and they don't want anyone to know." I got out my Zune, and we listened to my music the entire way to school. Once arriving at school we walked to homeroom. Our last names are Swan and Sanders, so we are in the same room.

"Okay students, as you know we have an assembly today. So be on your best behavior so you aren't forced to do more school time." We looked at Mr. Halfret like he was crazy, which half the school was convinced was true. But we behaved ourselves in the hallway, and took seats as close to the middle of the theater as possible. After the administrators went through all their randomness, they got to the point. The man who was giving the presentation stood up and started to talk.

"As you may know, your school has signed up to be a part of a study." A bunch of people groaned, but the man just waited for them to quiet down. "The study is to see how students react when they are put together for a month with other students. The catch is that they will have never met these people in their lives. The group is going to be escorted to a predestined point- in the wilderness- and they have to use their resources to get back. These points are located across the country, but would take more or less the same amount of time to get back. Now are there any questions?" A couple hands shot up, including mine. The man pointed at a kid in front of me.

"Is it mandatory for us to do this?"

"Of course not. This is a thing you have to sign up for, and not every person will get to go. But if you do, you have the chance to win a $50,000 cash grant. And you will be filmed and be on television." He pointed at me.

"So, how many people are in a group?"

"There are going to be 6 people on a team, 3 boys, and 3 girls. Only about 10 people from each school are going to be allowed to go." He kept on answering questions, while I thought about whether or not I should do this thing. On one hand I could get a ton of money, but then again I would be with 5 other complete strangers.

"Okay so if you want to sign up; go to room 2222 and get there fast." The teachers started to usher us out of the theater, and we were told to go to our first block class. I headed in the direction of my class, then I realized my class was in 2222. So I could be one of the first to sign up. I walked a little faster than necessary to get to class, and was happy when my teacher told me I was the first person to sign up. I daydreamed all through school about meeting a guy and falling in love. I mean I had a good chance of at least one of the guys to be hot, and none of them would know me. Once I got home, I ran and thanked my mom for getting me new clothes. I could tell this was going to be the best summer of my life.

So how do you guys like it? Please review and tell me.
