She is dead and I killed her. Morgan died from the fire and I feel like I have lost a part of me. I knew I shouldn't have and now my mother is so mad at me. I keep telling her that I was sorry, but she really doesn't care. I really can't believe that we had to move to Virginia Beach. I really hate it here and I've only been here for two days. Today is my first day at a new school. I'm going to Tallwood High School. My mom and Ciaran are going out and I think that is gross, but they want to start a new cell of Amyranth so I really can't complain. Well, I got to go. I have to go to school.

Chapter 1: Junior
"NATASHA LYNN BECKER, WAKE YOUR LAZY BUTT UP! IT'S TIME FOR SCHOOL!" my big brother called down the hall.
"NO!!!!" I screamed back. I really hated the mornings.
"NATASHA WAKE UP NOW!" Andrew yelled. Andrew was going to college, but it was his job to get me up in the morning.
"What time is it?" I called back to him.
"It's 6:00. You were supposed to be up half an hour earlier." He said. I sighed and got out of bed. I had no idea how my family could be so cheery in the morning. I looked in my closet and grabbed my green/blue peasant shirt and my dark blue denim skirt. I quickly brushed my brown hair and let if fall down to the back of my knees. I looked at my eyes. They were blue/gray and very bright. I quickly put on my black boots and walked out to my living room.
I knew I was pretty, and everyone else knew it to. My best friend Megan and I were the popular girls in school.
"Hey Tasha, you look nice." Megan said. I smiled and looked her over. She was wearing a black short sleeve shirt, dark blue jeans, dark blue jean jacket, and black boots. She had her hair straight down to the middle of her back.
I looked over at the person sitting in my mom's chair. Megan lived right next door and I gave us a ride every day to Tallwood high school.
It was our first day as juniors and I really liked the fact that I had all my classes with Megan. I heard Abby, my dog, growl in her playful state and start to chew on the person sitting in my mom's chair. I laughed as Tyler Miller, my other best friend, looked up and glared. I was still laughing when my brother came in to tell us that we had to get going or we wouldn't have anytime before the bell rang to hang out.
"Megan, are you ready for your first day as juniors?" I asked standing up. She nodded and we all walking into my car and started to laugh when a country song that Megan hated came on. Just to make her mad, I sang along.
When the song ended, I got glared at by Megan. I couldn't help it, so I laughed at her and so did Tyler. The three of us were really close. We had been best friends since sixth grade. Tyler had brown eyes, and short brown hair. He was wearing a wolf shirt and jeans.
"So Tyler, how many classes do we have together?" I asked.
Tyler looked at his schedule and looked at mine. "We have all the same classes." He said laughing at Megan's face. I knew she wasn't happy about having all her classes with Tyler and I thought that was hysterical.
"Here we are." I said. I unlocked my door and got out. Megan and Tyler walked over to my side and we started to walk to the benches where we would hang out before they let us in the school. Soon, our other best friend, Samantha or Sam for short, came walking over to us and sat down.
"Hey Tasha, how was your sum…" Megan never finished her question. I looked up at her curiously and saw that she was starting a boy coming up the steps to get to the school grounds. He was hot and I mean hot. He had gold eyes and brown hair. He was walking this way and smiling. I knew better then to try and say something. Megan was good with guys so I would just let her talk to him. She would get him anyway so why would I even try?
"Hello, I'm Cal Blaire, I just moved here, can you tell me where the office is?" he asked. He was really hansom and I knew that in a few weeks, he would be Megan's.
"Hi, I'm Megan Wilson and this is my best friend Natasha Becker. The front office is through those doors and to the left. It is the third door on the right. You're a senior?" Megan asked.
Cal nodded and looked down at me and smiled. I gave a smile back and said goodbye to Megan and Tyler. "See you around." Cal said as I turned to walk away with Sam.
"Natasha, how was your summer?" Sam asked. She lived a couple of houses away and we always hung out.
"You would know, you and Megan were always at my house." I said laughing. Megan and Sam and I were really close.
Off to my first class of a new year. I thought as I followed Sam to our first class. Sam and I were really smart, so we both had senior classes with Megan and Tyler. It was going to be a long day.
