A\N: This is my first Veronica Mars fanfic, so be nice and review. This story is set after the first season, when Veronica and her friends return to Neptune High.

My name is Veronica Mars. I'm seventeen years old and I'm a student at Neptune High. A year ago, my best friend, Lily Kane was murdered. I solved the case with my father; former sheriff turned private investigator Keith Mars. Lily was killed by millionaire movie actor Aaron Echolls. He and Lily were having sex with each other and Aaron was recording it. Lily found the tapes and Aaron confronted her and killed her.

My boyfriend Logan Echolls went on trial for murder of Felix Coombs, local member of Neptune's bike gang, the PCHERS. Logan got off and Neptune went crazy, another rich kid getting off.

Tomorrow, I return to school. I don't expect people to have changed or apologize for their behaviour to me or my father since Lily was killed but as my best friend Wallace says, I should be I told you so all over Neptune. That's not my style; all I care about is my dad making a full recovery. You see, when Aaron locked me in a freezer and set it on fire, my dad jumped into the fire to save me and he hasn't completely recovered from his injuries. I still see him in pain when he tries to do certain things, so I balance working for him, with school and my 'normal' job at the Java Hut.

I have this motto: "Life's a bitch." You know what? That motto is true to everyone including me; I also have this other motto "Life is tough, but I'm tougher." That is also true.

I'll talk to you all tomorrow,

Veronica M

A\N: I know it is short, next chapter will be longer I promise! Here is a preview of chapter 2.

I got out of my dad's car. He was my chauffer until I got back my car which Neptune Sheriff's department and the DA are still using as evidence in the murder of Lily Kane and the attempted murder of me, plus add that to the tapes of Lily with Aaron and he was hopefully going to jail for a long time.

"Veronica?"

I looked back at my dad. "Yes dad?"

"Remember, I'm leaving for Miami in a couple of hours. Call Cliff if you need anything."

"I will. Love you dad."

"Love you to sweetie."

I watched as his car pulled out of the car lot, suddenly my phone rang.

"Hello?" I asked answering it

All I was greeted with was deep breathing.

"Hello?" I asked again

The call went dead.

This was getting strange. I have now had ten phone calls off this person and it was getting weird because they never said anything and for some reason I couldn't trace the call.

A\N: So, who is Veronica's mysterious caller? How will everyone react to seeing Veronica back at school? Review if you want the next chapter.
