Hey guys. I came back, albeit a little later than I thought, with my new story. The first chapter was a bit difficult and it's really short to really give some insight into what cause my OC to be the way she is and what the personal tragedy was. I'm looking towards about 15-20 chapters, maybe more, depending on how long the chapters end up being and whether or not my muse decides to cooperate. Kate might be a little OOC at times but I'm young and I'm (relatively) new and I'm working on it so take it easy on me. Reviews are always welcome. I don't really know how I feel about this chapter but I might take it down and fix it if you guys think I should. I love to hear from you.

Samantha Anderson was your average teenaged girl. She was tall for her age- a little over 5'7"-and was always wearing jeans and an oversized shirt or sweater-depending on the season of course. She wore her hipster glasses everyday and unlike most others, hers were actually prescription. You almost couldn't tell she was the daughter of the wealthy entrepreneur, Joel Anderson. But, unless you've been living under a rock, you would know exactly who she was.

Samantha and her parents had never been very close due to their workaholic nature. They were always either running their company or dragging her to long, boring events where they socialized with Manhattan's rich and elite. Lacking attention at home, Sam found comfort in going to school and being surrounded by people who were there for her. That is, until she got to fourth grade. Her private elementary school (her parents insisted that she must have the best) was a pretty small school in comparison to others but due to the small size, the school had a family atmosphere. Her fourth grade teacher was like a mother to her. She got the affection that she needed from her teacher, from her classmates and she was okay. But, as Samantha would soon learn, life was not fair and it would no longer be okay.
