Spotted!


My name is Faith. I'm your average 15-year-old. A giggly teenage blond with a high GPA on my last report card, good looks, and a nonexistent love life. See, I've had a crush on the same guy for about 2 1/2 years, since 7th grade,My first year of middle school. He died about 2 months ago, and I was devastated. I still am. I remember the first time I saw him...

Entering the middle school, nervous but fairly confident, I saw him. Cute, about my height- despite the fact that he was in 8th grade... Marco. I noticed him glance at me, and even give me a second glance. At which point I fell in love with Marco... I became sort-of friends with him, enough to sit with him at lunch when he and his best friend, Jake, had a fight, or when he just wanted to. **sigh**

I lived halfway between Rachel and Jake. Rachel was Jake's cousin. I think Marco sort of had a crush on her, but she didn't like him. He came to me for advice with that. I was sort of Rachel's friend, sometimes we would hang out.
I was in the 7-11. My mom sent me to get some cereal, milk, and s'mores ingredients for the camping trip we were going on over the weekend, so I biked over from my neighborhood.

I walked in, after a lady with scars on her face and a huge guide dog with a rigid handle. She went down one aisle, while I went down another looking for marshmallows.

A couple minutes later I heard a guy's voice...it sounded familiar... saying quietly, "Yeah, Ax-man. That'll look real convincing on the surveillance tapes."

A million questions and thoughts ran through my head. Who was "Ax-man"? A gang member? Was the other kid a gang member? Who was the other kid, whose voice was familiar?

Then...... OMG THE VOICE WAS MARCO!!!!!! BUT HE's DEAD! APPARENTLY NOT! My brain was having a shouting match against itself!!! And my eyes were still looking for the flipping marshmallows!

I found my items, paid for them, and left.

A/N: Another story. I was re-reading book 49 and I thought, "Well what if someone saw and recognized Marco?" I got the name "Faith" from the chorus of "Unknown" and I thought I could somehow tie that in. The chorus goes "...Faith makes everybody scared..." This is NOT one of those new Animorphs stories and Faith is NOT a Mary Sue ( Don't they usually have musical talent in addition to pretty and smart. As you will find out later, Faith cannot sing for sh*t and is a very bad pianist- she hates piano, but her parents made her take lessons when she was younger. She scored a 15 on the Mary Sue litmus test- borderline, but I don't consider her to be one because she is a LOW BORDERLINE)
