Chapter 1

Coral's POV

I was sitting in English class listening to my teacher go on and on about short stories when there was a knock on the classroom door. While the teacher answered the door I was talking to me friend Cara. She had light brown hair that ended just below her shoulders and chocolate brown eyes. She it the type of person that everyone wants to be friends with.

She was trying to figure out whom I liked. Which she tried to do everyday so it was getting really annoying. "Cara, I have told you a thousand times that I don't like anyone." I told her.

"Coral, I know that you like someone," she said with a little bit of curiosity in her voice. "Just tell me who it is already"

"I'm serious I don't like anyone"

"Fine!" Cara said while crossing her arms over her chest.

I looked to see who the teacher was talking to and it was the principal. The principal seemed worried and sad about something. Since they were still talking I decided that I would ask Cara whom she liked. Of course this turned in to hear telling me all about her crush. "OMG, I'm so glad you asked me that" Said Cara with a big smile" I have the biggest crush on Neil from Chemistry. Its just his eyes are so captivating it's like he can see right through me even if I am having a bad day and am trying to hide all my emotions. You know what I mean."

I nodded my head "Ya, it's like he can see the rea…" Before I could finish the teacher walked up to us.

"Coral, could you please pack up your stuff and go with the principal." She said

When I saw the way that she looked at me I had a feeling that I was not going to have a happy day after I talked with the principal. It was like she was trying to hide something that was making her very sad.

I nodded my head and packed up. When I left the classroom I saw the principal waiting for me. He told me to go get anything that I needed from my locker and then go to his office.

-10 min later-

After getting me jacket from my locker (Because it is like -10 out side. What do you suspect I live in Canada and it's the middle of January). I went to the principal's office and knocked on the door. I heard o muffled come in so I opened the door.

When I opened the door I was shocked. Sitting in one of the sitting in front of the desk was my uncle Robert and my 2 other uncle's Richard and Rider were standing around the room. What was also a surprise was that there were to police officers in the room as well.

After getting over the sock of seeing them I started to get worried because I don't really see my extended family because my dad doesn't have the best relationships with them. "Hi" was the only word that I was able to get out.

My Uncle Rider told me to take a set. When I sat down I started asking questions. "What's going on? Why are you here? Has something happened? Why are there two police officers here?" When I was finished me rant there was a couple seconds of silence before my Uncle Robert answered my questions.

"Coral, we are hear because there has been an accident…" My uncle looked sad and unhappy about what he was about to say. "There was a murder this Morning around 10:00 am."

I was shocked I couldn't think strait the only thing that I came out of me mouth was "What?"

"Coral, the people that were murdered were your parents." This time it was my Uncle Rickard that answered. His voice was full of sadness.

When I heard this I broke out of my confusion and started crying.

Uncle Rider's POV

When Richard had told Coral that it was her parents that were murdered she broke out in tears. I tried to comfort her but I didn't know how to because I don't know a lot about her. Your family is not that close, it's a miracle for use to even get together once a year. Sheer I call my brothers but we never talked for long and we never talked about our kids much. It was more about business or something that didn't include our families.

After about 5 min Coral had stopped crying and was just sniffling. I thought that this would be a good time to tell her why the police officers were there.

"Coral, the police officers are here because they would like to ask you some questions. If you're not ready right now, we can what a few minutes." I said.

"N-No, I can answer their questions." Coral said but I could tell that she was still very shocked and sad about what she just heard.

Cara's POV

After coral left the room the teacher continued the lesson. I zoned out because Neil was in this class as well and he sat 2 seats in front of me. I was imagining how smooth his hair would be.

-30 min later-

The bell rang, telling us that we had one more period left before school ended.

While I was heading to my last period class I was wondering were Coral was and why the principal wanted to talk with her. I made a mental note to call her later.
