Prologue "How It All Came to Be"
Sophomore Year, November
Haley James waited patiently at the cafe for her two best friends to meet her, it was thursday night and thursdays were their day.
With a tub of popcorn each, they'd spend the entire night watching movie, not sleeping once. The next day at school all three would complain about how tired they were, but knew despite it all they would do it again the next thursday.
Haley was looking forward to that and was worried about her friends' current MIA statues.
"Haley I just got a call from Lucas," Karen began as she entered the room, "he said that him and Jake made the team and are going out with some of the guys. I'll have him call you when he gets home okay?" Karen told the young girl, wrapping her arm around Haleys' shoulders; she didn't have the heart to tell her they had forgotten about her.
Haley looked down at her feet, "Okay thanks Karen." She gave a forced smile in her best friends' mothers direction then left. The tears began to fall more rapidly as she walked. She knew without being told nothing would ever be the same.
