PROLOGUE - Jennifer
The doorbell rang and Annie swung down the stairs. "I'll get it!" she shouted. She ran to the door and opened it. She stared in shock at the girl with brown, curly hair that was looking at her. The girl had on all black, and was wearing black makeup. "Jennifer?" Annie asked her. "Annie, girl, what's hanging?" the girl said to Annie. Annie hugged he girl and yelled "Jennifer Moore! I can't believe you're back! Why are you in Hope Springs?" Annie asked the girl, grinning. Jennifer spit out her gum in the grass. "My new band, Dead End. You want to join?" Jennifer asked Annie. "Join? A real band? I'd love to, Jennifer! It's going to be so fun!" Annie said excitedly. Jack walked by and looked at the girl in the doorway. He shook his head. Annie turned and faced Jack. "Hey Jack, guess what! I'm in a band! Isn't it great?" she told him, smiling. Jack grinned. "Mom said you could be in it? That's great!" Jack said, his eyes shining. "Well, Jack, not exactly. I've joined Jennifer's band, Dead End!" Annie said to him. Jack frowned and went into the kitchen. "So besides your band, why are you in Hope Springs?" Annie asked. Jennifer turned and pulled two guys in front of her. One was holding a baby. She pointed to the one with the baby. "This is Scott, my boyfriend. This is our daughter, Katrina." Jennifer said to Annie. She pointed to the other one. "This is Brandon. He's in the band too. He's single." Jennifer said, winking. Brandon blushed. So did Annie. At that moment Molly walked into the room. "Jennifer Moore, get out of my house now!" Molly shouted. Jennifer rolled her eyes. Molly stormed out of the room. "So what do you want to do?" Annie asked the rest of the people at the door. "Why don't we go eat at that new DQ down the street?" Brandon suggested. "Great idea, Brandon!" Scott said, pulling Jennifer down to their convertible. Brandon and Annie followed. They jumped in the neon green convertible and drove to the Dairy Queen Brandon had suggested. Jack pulled open the blinds and whispered "Goodbye Annie." and turned away.
