Nina hoped this school would bring her new opportunities. She was tired of all the pain and hurt following her, tired of all the sympathy. Sweet Amoris High School… she thought absently. Perhaps this place would be better- a place where no one knew who she was, a place where she could start over.

Her hopes were immediately shattered when she saw a sickeningly familiar face: Ken. That lovesick boy that followed her around like a dog. Nina let loose a deep sigh as he approached her and prepared the most realistic smile she could muster.

"Eri-" Ken began, but was cut off.

"Listen, I'm not Eriko anymore. I'm Nina. I don't know you, in fact right about now I think I should walk away and report you for harassment for following me. Get it? I'm not the girl you knew. She's gone. Forever. And if you don't leave me alone, you will be too." Nina whispered to Ken under her breath. So much for trying to be nice. Wasted effort of a smile.

Ken looked at her with shock before swallowing and nodding. He ran off in the other direction as she kept walking.

Nina made it out to a courtyard and decided to spend the day where no one would find her. Screw meeting the student president, he could wait. She took out her ipod and cranked it on high as she blasted away her past with music.

*Flashback*

"News of a serial killer striking again! This time, close to home." A news reporter said with a very solemn look on her face as she stared into the camera. "Just hours ago, a family was killed ruthlessly by the serial killer that has been terrorizing the area for months. The killer was later killed in a standoff with police however this will not bring back the lives of poor little Eriko's family. Eriko is just 14 years of age, and has lost the only family she has. Her mother, father, brother, and sister all became victims of this killer. Eriko was lucky and was able to escape and make the emergency call that saved her life. As we stand he-" the reporter was cut off when Eriko threw the remote through the TV. She sat in her hospital bed with a stoic face and glared at the nurses who came to see what had been the cause of the sudden crash.

"Lucky my ass!" she screamed at the glass that stubbornly clung to the box of the destroyed TV. She quickly picked up all objects nearby and began to throw them spastically around the room. Vases of flowers after vases of flowers shattered on the walls of the hospital room. Eriko wince at the pain of her movement and stopped throwing things.

A nurse came in the room and changed the bandages that were wrapped around Eriko's body gently as Eriko calmed her breathing. The long gash that the killer had left on her back still caused her a lot of pain. She rather he took her life than leave her with just this gash and the pain of losing her family.

*End Flashback*

Eriko touched the scar that raged across her back lightly through her shirt and let the words of the song she was listening to fill her thoughts.

"I'll lose this feeling of being so helpless 'cause my whole life is ahead of me

And the things I once abandoned, I want to try and find again

Come on just one more time!

To chase my wishes I'll carry on living

And I really want to scream out, but can you even hear me?

I'll face my demons, and I'll no longer run away!

There isn't a place to go!

I still am grateful for the car you've shown me

So I'll find a way to make it count

I'll quash the numbness 'cause pain's better than emptiness!"*

A/N: *I do not own this song! this is Again by Yui... it's originally in Japanese, but I translated it for you guys because typing out Japanese is long and dull on an english keyboard. I was also too lazy to translate it on my own so I got the translation from a youtube video! It's by Genesisx08 she does an amazing cover of the song so please check it out!

Yep so that's all for now! Enjoy!
