*Chapter 1: Sally Carson*

*Present day, 2015*

"Sally! Sally, breakfast is ready!" A mother called from downstairs. A girl with blonde hair, green eyes, wearing jeans and a jacket, just finished brushing her long hair. She puts her converse on before heading downstairs to greet with her family. Well, foster family.
Sally was adopted by the Carsons when she was 5 years old. Sally's family gave her up for a reason. Of course, Sally doesn't know anything about her parents because she was a baby when she is in the orphanage. When the Carsons adopted her, they treat her like a real family, even her older brother who is now 17. Sally couldn't be happier to have this nice foster family who loved her so much. They watch movies, play games, and take care of each other. Sally won't ask for any more.
The blonde teen went downstairs to see her foster family at the table, eating pancakes.

"Good morning." Sally greeted.

"Morning sweetie." The mother said, kissing her daughter on the forehead. "Breakfast is set on your plate. Eat up before you're late for school." Sally sat down on the chair, next to her brother, Brad.

"Hey, kids. When you guys get out of school, your grandfather is coming over to visit for a while." The father said. "He said he wanted to show you something, Sally."

"What is it?" Sally asked.

"Can't tell you. It's a surprise." The father said with a wink. He push his glasses up and continue eating. Sally shrugged a bit and took a bite of a pancake. "Sarah, I gotta get going. I have a big meeting at work." The dad said, getting up from the table.

"Okay, Mike. Have a good day." The mother said, kissing him on a cheek. Mike grabbed his coat and went out the garage door. Sally hears a bus coming up the street. She quickly grabbed her backpack and put a piece of gum in her mouth and rush out the door as Brad follows her out. Sarah smiles a bit as she watches the kids stand by the street for the bus to pick them up. She cleared the table.

The teens are wandering around the halls in the school building, and Sally was at her locker putting away her things until she saw a boy coming over. Her heart beats every time she sees him. He has black hair, brown eyes, wearing a school jacket, jeans, and a white shirt underneath.

"Josh Sanders." Sally sighed. The boy notices her, giving her a small nod of hello and continued on down the halls. Sally blushed a bit, smiling. Every girl likes Josh in this school. Every one of them keeps asking him out or ask him school dances. Josh took 4 or 5 girls out. Sally was too shy to ask a cutest boy out. And he's only 15. He's great in baseball in gym class. Sally loves to watch him play sports.

"Sally!" A voice cried out, making Sally gasped in surprise to see her friends behind her. She is wearing black glasses and her brown hair is in pigtails. "You still watching your dream man?" She teased.

"Susan, you scared me!" Sally scolded her.

"Sorry. I thought I'd find you by your locker watching Josh." Susan says, holding her books close to her. "I know, he's charming, but...why don't you ask him out already? The worst thing he'll say is no. Every girl asks him-"

"I can't." Sally said, closing her locker. "I mean, I like him and all, but...he barely knows me." The girls walk down the hall, passing the other teens who are doing what they are doing. "I'm a kid who was adopted by a family, and only good at playing the piano."

"You won't know till you try, Sal." Susan said. "If you let him know that you like to hang out with him, he'll get to know you." Sally was about to reply until she accidently bumped into a short haired girl.

"Oh! I...I'm sorry!" Sally stuttered. The girl turned with a sneer.

"Watch where you're going, orphan!" She said. Sally twiddled her fingers a little. Susan pulled her friends aside and keep walking. Sally turned back to the mean girl, and see Josh watching her in silent. Sally blushed again and turned away and whispered to her friend.

"He looked at me!" She hissed. "He heard what Brittney said!"

"So what? What is he gonna do, make fun of you too?" Susan asked. Sally turned back to see Josh talking to the other guys who wore the same jacket as him. They are all jocks. Sally turned back to Susan.

"No. He wouldn't." She said. Susan playfully patted Sally's hair.

"Atta girl!"

Brad and Sally were dropped off at the street by a school bus, and they walk home. They see a car by the driveway of the house. They know it's their grandfather who comes to visit them. Sally wanted to know what her grandfather wanted to show her. The teens walked in the house, but hear nothing.

"Mom? Dad?" Sally called. "We're home!"

"Where's granddad?" Brad asks. Sally went around the living room with her foster brother. Sally stood by the chair, placing her backpack down, but suddenly... A little figure popped out behind the chair, letting out a shrill laughter. Sally screamed and fell backwards. It's a dummy!
