I don't own Scandal

Chapter 1:

She ran. She was told to run as if her life depended on it and she did.

She was afraid but she didn't look back. She could hear the sirens behind her. The panic of the people searching for her.

She wasn't going to let them win.

"And that is how I win again" Fitz smirked at his opponents. "Thank you so much for playing" the others groaned in defeat. This wasn't the first time they all their butts kicked.

"No fair man you got to teach me how to play!" Tom nudged him.

"Maybe some day my young Apprentice" suddenly the main office's Bell rang and they all knew what it meant. They had brought in someone new. Miss Dewitt told all of them to meet at the dining hall for lunch.

"Hey" Stephen whispered to Fitz. "Who do you think they sent this time?"

"No idea" he and Stephen obeyed miss Dewitt. They knew better. Fitz gathered around with Abby and Huck who seemed as curios as the rest. The dining hall had become loud. Then all of the sudden Fitz was nowhere to be seen. He and Tom had managed to mix in the midst of madness. They had to know about this new kid.

They leaned back against Mr. Collins office door. They couldn't make out much of the conversation between the social worker and Collins. If there was a kid in there, he or she weren't speaking. Both kids moved just in time before the door opened. Mr Collins emerged followed by an old woman. She shook hands with her. Fitz knew the looks she gave him all too well. The kid meant trouble.

"We better get back" Tom whispered. Fitz nodded turning back slowly only to catch a glimpse of this kid. She was a girl, about 11, he caught her eyes too. They were blank as if she was somewhere else.

"This way" Collins led the girl towards their direction and they broke into a run. Almost safe. Not so much as they bumped into Dewitt.

"Boys?" She looked down at them.

"We.." Tom stammered.

"You just..." She began as Collins came in trough the main door with Olivia in tow. She didn't look up. "I'll deal with you later"

"Children!" Collins called their attention. No luck. "Settle down!" Again, No such luck. Dewitt then rang the bell and voices started to die down. "This here is Olivia" he moved away to reveal the girl."I expect everyone to teach her a thing or two!" And with that he was gone.

Dewitt led Olivia down the hall of the large room of tables as curious eyes looked at her. Fitz had a proper look at her now. She was quite pretty. Her eyes caught his attention for sure. They were big, dove like and sad. So sad. He saw her sitting down in a near seat next to Abby.

"So that's the newbie?" Stephen asked Tom. "I wonder what her story is"

"Go and ask her" Tom told him.

"You do it" Stephen hissed. Fitz rolled his eyes.

"Cowards" he muttered under his breath walking towards Olivia. He noticed one of her sides seats was empty. "Excuse me? Hey" no answer. Maybe she was mute. "Can I sit here?" Again no answer. He waited a bit. "Not much of a talker, are you?"

Olivia looked at him for the first time."Hi" he tried again.

"Hi" she said shyly.

Short I know! But I'm just starting to set up the story! Would love to hear what you guys think?
