Prologue
A girl of about 8 ran through an ally between a dress shop and pawnshop. She had her skirts hiked up to her knees as she ran. She came flying out of the ally dodging people as she sprinted towards an old building. She stopped short when she heard her name being called in a high slightly whiny voice.
"Ashlynd! What on earth do you think you are doing?" Ashlynd turned around to look at her 15 year old sister Rebecca. Their father had named Beca, and their mother had named Ashlynd. Ashlynd was very proud of her name.
"Running," she said this as if it was the simplest thing in the world and that she had every right to be running.
"Well I can see that, what have you been told over and over?" Beca looked so stern that Ashlynd almost laughed.
"I'm not to lift my skirts above my ankle," she said this in a dull voice, before getting indigent. "But how am I supposed to beat Spot at a race then, see now you've probably made me lose, which means I'll have to do something I don't want. If I know Cole, the little asshole."
"Ashlynd Sparling! You watch your language. You have been spending much to much time with your brother and his poor friends," Ashlynd winced as Beca screamed at her.
"Ashlynd. oh hi Beca," a boy around the age of 9 with shaggy dirty blond hair jogged up. "I win. and now you have to do what ever I want you too."
"Cole Conlon I can not believe that you are encouraging her to do this, I have told you to not even try to get her to race." Beca glared at him, Ashlynd turned at looked hard at him.
"You did that on purpose! You purposely got me in trouble! I hate you," Ashlynd glared at him before walking off with her head turned in the air.

When Ashlynd returned home later that evening her father informed her that they were moving to Maine, were Ashlynd would go to finishing school till she reached the age of 18.

In the train station her brother's friends came to say good-bye. Cole came with his older brother. She stuck her tongue out at him. He smirked. Ashlynd turned away and looked out the other window. She could not believe that they were making her go to finishing school.
