Maddie Goode (Age 15, 10th grade) Setting: Before Vacation

"I win. I win again," I murmured to myself as I walked to my room. I had just beat 4 teens. Three in my grade and one in the eleventh against little old me. 4 guys vs. 1 girl and I won.

As I walked in my room I saw my roomates, Angela, paper. She is kind of a strange girl that just started this semester. She looks malnutrituioned, had bags under her eyes, don't talk to anyone. Everywhere you look she is writing these dumb poems, our room is covered in papers. The one I pick up from my bed just happens to be titled: Insectureties and its blank.

Hmm, unusally, most of the time she writes it the minute she titles it. Then I hear it. So low that unless highly trained and a better hearer than others, it would be impossible to grab. It comes from the closed bathroom door, where the light is on. Just a whimper, like a cat.

I slowly turn the door handle and see Angela, but she doesn't notice me. I look down at my roomate whos arm is bleeding unmistakably made from the razor in her hand. Tears stream down her face and she whispers, "No, no no,"

At first I am frozen. What do I do? My brain tells me to go get an adult, but my heart tells my to get a band-aid take the razor out of her hand and hold her until she stops crying, so I do it.

"Whats the reason for this?" I ask deathly quiet.

"I remember," She makes out, "I can't stop remembering. I can't make the pictures go away long enough. I can punch soemthing until my fists are blue but I still see them. The only way to make them leaves is this," She sniffles.

"What pictures?"

"Its not just pictures. Its pain. I could have done something. I shouldn't have watched. I was just so scared."

"Of what?"

"And he just, he just pulled the trigger. It was like a chain reaction and they saved me, but I should be dead," She went on whimpering.

"Please explain."

"My Mom had got in a deal gone bad. My Dad and I got captured. My Mom was there she was running. They shot her. My Dad shot her killer, they shot him. I had the gun pointed at the only one left, my Fathers killer, but they came and they grabbed me and they didn't even see if my Mommy and Daddy could be saved and they didn't catch his killer. And now I am stuck here with no family and no one that cares."

"Hey, we are your sisters we care." I said.

She sniffled again. "Your gonna make me tell them aren't you."

"I nodded. Dr. Jenny got her therapy degree, your gonna have to see her.

She nodded, "But what if I don't want you?"

"I'll make you. This isn't healthy and in order to do P&E training you need to be fit and heathly. Ang it'll be okay, I'll be with you," I squeezed her hand, "How old were you?"

"15, it was last year. They took me away from my boyfriend. He could've helped me more than any doctor, but they took him away. I'm 16 now, the pictures started right after I started school. They said it would come back to me in," She started.

"Bits and peices, " I finished and her eyebrows ruffled, "My Mom was captured and toutured, I've read her Cov Ops reports and it came back to her bit my bit."

Then with no warning she hugged me and I hugged her back, maybe Angela wasn't strange she just needed a friend after all.

Bella Abigal Goode POV (13 yrs old, 8th grade)

My brother and I always meet in classroom 4 on Fridays to talk about school stuff because we don't want to seem to caring and twiny(if that makes sense) around our regular classmates.

"I feel fat," I said randomly as he was explaining how hard the physics test was.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Everybody at school says my curly blonde hair doesn't go with me. They say my feet are too big and now they say I have "fluff," I said.

"Bell you can't listen to those mean brats. They don't know what their talking about."

I nodded unconvinced. It wasn't fair Kacey had everything. Rich spy parents, a only child, she had Uggs, Toms, an I-phone 5, Miss Me jeans, Silver jeans, 16 infinity scarfs, a closet full of Mac and Benift makeup, and more. She might not have as much as my aunt Macey but it still isn't fair. Kacey was the one that started the lets pick on Bella she gets hand-me-downs.

My Aunt tried to make science fun but she wasn't good at it. As she lectured on I tried to pay attention but I couldn't. There was a not being passed around the room and since she was writing on the board she couldn't see it, even if she was the best spy ever. Right before it got to my desk they were caught.

Abby had turned around, "Hand it to me," She said holding out her hand. Once she had read it Kacey got called out of the room and suspended. Week later my friend told me why, it had been a note saying I was fat and ugly.

I knew Matt wasn't the person to ask about this so I dropped it.

I know what you are thinking. When are you going to get back to the thing with the Circle. I'm really trying to figure out how to set it up still. This chapter was inspired by CammieXzachxx and the story Their stories so make sure to check it out. And a dream I keep having were the paretns are captured and the kid can't do anything but watch.
