So that was the story everyone knew, I thought to myself. I continued walking around coming upon my old house. It looks like it has been abandoned since that horrible night. I go around back and climb in throw my old bedroom window like I used to do. Looking around I see nothing has changed except for that it was quite dusty, but otherwise my pictures are still taped to the wall in a collage type of deal, my bed still isn't made, if I didn't know any better I would think the occupants of the house just went to work and school and were coming home any minute, but I do know better. Moving on I go through the rest of the house suddenly I hear thumping coming from my old bedroom followed by arguing voices, the voices of my friends but they can't know I'm here or who I am for that matter. I run into the hallway and hide in the closet.

"nobody is in here, I told you. God Jax why did you have to bring us in here it's creepy" Tara says

"I saw some girl come over here" Jax says

"man your seeing things, lets get out of here" Opie says

"I swear I saw some girl standing on the sidewalk and she went into the back yard, she has to be here somewhere" Jax says moving away from the closet. After a few more minutes of walking around I hear them climb back out the window and I finally let the breathe I was holding out.

I decided that exploring time was over and I headed back to the apartment that I rented above Floyd's barbershop. Tomorrow would be my first day of high school. While I was away I picked up a few new skills doctoring documents and hacking just a few of the things I picked up so I had a new birth certificate and social security number that allowed me to go to school, I registered online so I didn't need a parent to sign anything. My new identity is Daniella Rose Smith. My mom's name was Daniella and my middle name is Rose and Smith is an incredibly generic last name, I would tell people to call me DannyRose I thought it was pretty.

The next morning I got up at 6 so I would have enough time to straighten my hair which was naturally curly, it curled into nice neat ringlets that went half way down my back and it was thick so it took some time to straighten.

When I got to school I went straight to the office to get my schedule. Even though I technically never went to 9th grade I took some online classes so I was aloud to be a sophmore. Walking into my first class English ,I see Jax and Opie sitting in the back corner. I hand my slip to the teacher she turns to the class, " ok class, we have a new student joining us, her name is Daniella, Daniella why don't you introduce yourself" she says pushing me to the front of the class. I stand there awkwardly, I always hated these introduction things " Hi, my name is DannyRose and I'm new" I finish and turn to the teacher who doesn't have a pleased look on her face "you can take the seat in the back in front of Jackson" she says pointing towards the back "I'm sure you guys will get along" she says under her breath.

I sit down in the seat in front of Jax and next to Opie.

"hey" Jax says

"hello Jackson" I say to him, he stares at me looking like he has seen a ghost. Damn I wish my voice would have changed over the year I was gone but I guess it hasn't changed a bit, I look at Opie who has the same look as Jax does. I try and down play it "ok then" I say and I turn back around cursing at myself the whole time.

"sorry, you just sound a lot like someone I know" he says finally snapping out of it

"no problem" I say to him and give him a little smile, but I don't talk to him the rest of the period. When the bell rings I book it out of there. The rest of my classes go a lot better I have Tara in my photography class, I love photography. Thankfully Tara sat on the other side of the room so I didn't talk to her.

When lunch comes around I had planned to eat by myself and start my homework but just as I start to walk to an empty table Tara calls me over.
