Ellie was on the Internet. By sudden whim, she decided to go to Google and search for Adelaide Johnson to see what she found. Surprisingly, she got hundreds of results. Ellie clicked the link, and it was a newspaper article.

This newspaper article said: Girl Runs Away From Parents.

In the article, it talked about how this girls' parents hurt her (that's what friends of Adelaide said), and the girl(Adelaide)ran away. The parents refused to comment at the time, and were later found dead in the parking lot of a local bar.

Ellie sat back in her computer chair. So, Adelaide had run away from her abusive parents. Did she even know that her parents were dead now?

The next day at school, Ellie approached Adelaide with caution. Adelaide didn't smile when she saw Ellie coming her way.

"Come to harass me some more?" She said in a mean voice.

"No, actually. Since you wouldn't tell me anything about yourself, I figured it out myself. Your parents hurt you and you ran away. Then they were found in a bar parking lot dead. Now I'm wondering, how can you afford a new house and a plane ticket from New York to Canada?" Ellie asked.

"Okay. I'm not living in a house. I'm living in a motel. I know the manager. I spent almost all of my money on the plane ticket, and now I have to earn my own money nights after school." Adelaide gave up.

"What do you do for money?" Ellie asked again.

"God will you get off my case?" Adelaide complained.

Ellie threw her hands up in desparation. Adelaide started to walk away, and caught sight of the cutest guy she had ever seen. She tripped over the cement steps and went toppling down them. The cute guy went running after her. He helped her to her feet.

Omigod I cannot believe I just did that.

He smiled at her, and then picked up her books. The guy gave her a quick pat on the shoulder. "My names Craig. Craig Manning. You're new here right? I saw you in Kwan's class yesterday."

Craig, she thought. What a perfect name.

Adelaide grinned a flirty grin. "Yes I'm new. I transferred from New York," trying to keep a straight face, Adelaide continued. "I lived in the ghettos."


Craig nodded. "Ah," he said. "I see." Craig looked her straight in the eye. Adelaide melted inside. He was so adorable!

"I'll see you at lunch?" Craig asked casually.

Adelaide nodded. "Most definately."

As Craig walked away, a girl walked up to Adelaide. Adelaide was about to laugh. This girl was definately in a younger grade than her, and she was dressed like some whore.

"Um, excuse me but you need to stay away from Craig. I know you're new here, and this is why I'm warning you. He's mine." the girl was saying.

"Oh, is that so? Well, alright. What is your name, child?" Adelaide asked with a straight face.

"I am not a child. My name is Manuela. Who are you?" Manuela asked rudely.

((A/N: It IS Manny, she was just saying Manuela to make Adelaide be all..oh really is that your name. lol))

"My name is Adelaide. And you are so a child. You look like a little girl dressing up for Halloween like Britney Spears. Where's your Madonna? Why do you even care about Craig when you can have some girl to make out with?" Adelaide snapped.

"What did you say?" Manuela asked angrily.


"Go make out with your little girlfriend," Adelaide continued, pointing to a nearby girl in a 'Save the Mongoose' t-shirt. "That save-the-mongoose chick with the major face problem."

Manuela's jaw dropped. Who did this girl think she was?

"She is not my girlfriend. For your information, we're not even friends. We used to be best friends, but now we hate each other."

"There's a fine line between love and hate." Adelaide replied, smirking.

Manuela stomped away. She was going to get even with this girl if it was the last thing she did.

Ellie watched the whole thing, and she was laughing to herself. This was going to be interesting.
