The day started out like any other school day, I get through my first two classes and find my self in 20th Centuries honors. After the announcements have drawled over, Miss. Hinz, our teacher, starts with the usual greeting, "Alright ladies and gentlemen we're going to take a break from the usual studies to fill out a sweepstakes application." She drawls. Murmurs fill the room as she continues, "Our school is participating in a sweepstakes. The prize? Eight students will win a trip to Moscow, Russia all expense paid. That also includes the heavy clothing needed for the cold weather and blah, blah, blah." She ends with an irritated tone in her voice.

A boy in the class raises his hand, blinking, "You don't sound too happy about this." He squeaks out.

Hinz nods, her short brown hair bobbing with, "Yeah because I don't have the opportunity to go too. Now fill these sheet things out so we can start class." She said, sighing in defeat as she hands out sheets to the heads of the rows. From there, they were passed back. Thinking nothing of it, I fill out the sheet and pass it back up. My mind wanders back into day-dream land, drifting in and out of Hinz's lecturing on the history of Russia.

Damn, who'd have known how this information would help me later…


Author's note: :) Well, this is an extremely short first chapter, but it's sort of a preview of what's to come. This has nothing to do with my 'A fine line' story, even if the main characters do share first names, they are NOT the same! So don't get confused, I just have a tensity to use 'Erin' as the first name for a lot of character because I suck at coming up with other names. Well, it's going to take a little while for a notable character to actually jump into the story. But please don't let that discourage you from reading this! Please rate and review!
