Chapter 1

Kay sat on her bed, looking through an old photo album.  She smiled as she reminisced over a picture, "I remember this picture," Kay sighed, all the good times she had had with Miguel were over.  Just memories to her.  And completely forgotten to Miguel.  Forgotten since Charity had came into their lives.

She closed her eyes and pushed the memories to the back of her mind.  It was nearly eight o'clock and she was still in her night clothes.  She stood up and pulled some clothes out of her closet and threw them on, she put her hair into a sloppy ponytail, and slipped on her tennis shoes.

Downstairs Jessica, Miguel and Charity were eating breakfast and talking about their plans for the weekend.  Kay walked past them and didn't even speak, "Kay, are you all right?" Sam asked her as she walked past him, "You look like a mess."

"Well, I'm not going to school to impress anybody," Kay said grabbing her coat and walking out the door.  Her mind was filled with the memories of her happy childhood.  Most of her happy memories had included Miguel.  She began to cross the road and hadn't even noticed the car coming until, he grabbed her and pulled her out of the way.

"Are you okay?  You seem distracted, I mean you didn't even see the car that just about flattened you!"  Kay noticed his deep blue eyes as she looked at him and realized who it was.

"Ryan?  Is that you?" Kay asked getting closer to him.

"No way, Kay Bennett?  That can't be the scrawny tomboy I remember!" Ryan said smiling.  Kay remembered Ryan, he had been one of her friends until sixth grade when his family had to move because of his father's job.

"Excuse me?" Kay said frowning, "Scrawny tomboy?"

"You heard me," Ryan said patting Kay's cheek, "I see you've lost all your baby fat!"

"OH!  Now that was too far!"  Kay punched Ryan playfully, "When did you come back?"

"Yesterday, I'm starting school today at Harmony High," Ryan said leaning against his car.

"Wait, I'll be right back!" Kay said running back into her house, "Stay right there!" she yelled from across the street.

Once she got into the house, she ran up stairs and changed into a nicer outfit, fixed her hair and out on make-up.  She ran back downstairs and out of the house, "Okay," she said smiling at Ryan.

Her eyes scanned his body, he had changed, he wasn't the skinny, glasses wearing, pimple faced boy he used to be.  It looked like he had spent all his time working out and she guessed he had contacts and used a face cleanser.

"So, did you get all dolled up for me?" Ryan asked laughing, "Here get in I'll give you a lift to school!"

Kay smiled and got into his car.
