Chapter 1
16 years old
She stands in pouring rain looking up at the sky, thinking how could everything go wrong in a matter of seconds? She doesn't know what to do with her life anymore. It's like she is watching her life go on without her. She is watching all these things go on but all she can do is stand there and look at the sky. She isn't herself anymore, a piece has been ripped from her and she knows she will never get that piece of her back. There was a light that went out inside of her and she never knew if she was going to get that light back. "It's gone forever", She thought to herself. Only did she know that the light that once light up her world would be back but just in a different way.

As the sun begun to shine through the windows welcoming another nice sunny day, there lays a girl silently asleep. She begins slowly waking up from her slumber. When she sits up she sees it's already 6:45. As she races to get up and get ready for her day she says, "No No, I can't believe it's already 6:45. I'm so going be late and on the first day. This is so bad". Once she is done getting ready she races out the door and runs down to a little coffee stand down the street from her apartment. Luckily for her the line at the coffee shop only has one other person and two cashiers. When she gets closer she slows down from a run to a fast walk. She gets to the cashier and orders her usual which is a black coffee with one sugar. As she stands there and waits for her coffee she can't help but notice the person next to her staring at her. She starts to feel a little uncomfortable as the person keeps staring at her. She finally looks over at this person and sees a girl probably around 20 still staring. She gives a little smile and looks away. Even though she looked away the other has yet to look away from her. Then finally her coffee is done and as she pays and walks away she turns around to still see the young girl staring with a shy smile on her face. The young looking girl finally turns around. When she turns around she looks at her watch and sees that it is already 7:20. When she sees the time she breaks out into another run and knows she only has 10 minutes to get to her new work that she is starting today. 10 minutes seems like a lot of time but not when you don't have a car and you have to run to your work which is 7 minutes away. 8 minutes later she was standing in front of Los Angles University. After taking a deep breath she walked into the building that she would be teaching at.
