Ten Months Earlier:
"Hurry, Charity, or we'll be late," Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald called from downstairs. It was the first day of their senior year.
Charity Standish stood in her bedroom, deciding what outfit to wear, holding them up to her, as she stood in front of the mirror, one at a time, "I'm coming, Miguel," she said finally deciding on a pink shirt and a pair of tight khaki capri pants.
Kay Bennett began walking down the stairs, "Good morning, Kay," Sam Bennett said as his eldest daughter passed him.
"Yeah, great morning this has turned out to be," Kay moaned, "Where's Simone? She's supposed to already be here."
Just like clockwork Reese and Simone walked into the Bennett kitchen, "There you are," Reese said putting his arm around Kay and puckering up his lips. Kay pushed him away and walked over to Simone.
"I'm going to get Miguel this year, no matter what it takes," Kay smiled and then looked at her watch, "We're going to be late. Whoevers riding with me better hurry, I'm leaving now."
Jessica, Simone and Reese all followed Kay out the door, "I call front seat!" Reese said trying to kiss Kay again.
"Nope, me and Simone already decided she gets front seat today so we can talk," Kay said pulling away from Reese and getting into the driver's side of her mother's SUV.
Charity and Miguel came outside and hopped on his motorcycle, "Bye, Kay!" Charity said annoyingly.
"My God," Kay said, "Will anybody ever learn to just leave me alone?" Kay started the car and they headed to school.
When they arrived at school, Miguel and Charity weren't there so the other teens decided to go in and find their classes. All attention was on Kay and her friends, until Charity walked in and all the attention shifted to her.
Kay acted like it didn't phase her but she was secretly holding back tears.
