Crystal and her friends walked to school together every day. They weren't the snobby kind of girls but they weren't too nice either.

It was a start of a new day, a new year, and a new school. They walked to school chatting about what they were going to do after school.

They were in high school and were 14 years old.

The group of friends are Crystal, Jessica, Sabrina, and Christina. After their first two periods, they got together at lunch time. Crystal was looking around the huge cafeteria and saw a group of guys staring hard at someone.

She followed their gaze and saw a little looking girl sitting at a table alone. There was something about that sad girl that seems different from the other sad people.

She nudged Jessica and asked, "Who's that?" "I don't know, it's just one of those boring people who has no life." Jessica replied.

Crystal had the urge to go talk her and comfort her but she resisted. She didn't want to do that in front of her friends. Sabrina tapped Crystal on the shoulder and said, "We're going to have a party at Christina's home with some of our friends from junior high."

After the party at Christina's home, Crystal saw the lonely girl walking down the street studying the floor.

She walked over to her and asked, "Hey, are you okay?" "No, they're after me, help me." The girl replied. "Huh, what's wrong?"

The girl stared at her but didn't answer. Then she moved her head slightly to the right and stared past her.

Crystal looked behind her and saw someone run behind a house with a jacket flying behind. She turned back to the lonely girl but only saw air. She sighed and ran behind the house but saw nothing. She turned away and went home.

When she got to the front door, she saw a letter waiting for her.

Crystal unfolded it and it read,

"KEEP OUT!"
