you want to sue me...ok...the only think I own is my car....and it is twenty years old and doesn't

like to run.

Reach for the Stars

Chapter 4

*Flashback*

Star threw herself on the bed and grabbed Stephanie by the shoulder. "Where is your

sister? Where did Sandy go?" Stephanie started crying harder. Star pulled her closer to her chest

and she stroked her hair. "Shh, it's ok honey, but it is important. Can you tell me where she is?"

Stephanie shook her head. "I don't know, I woke up and she was gone."

Star tucked Stephanie back into bed, pulled up the covers, and kissed Steph's forehead.

"Don't go anywhere. I will be back. I am going to find your sister."

Stephanie nodded to Star as Star ran back out of the building into the harsh cold wind and

pelting rain. Stephanie started to cry harder as she knew in her heart. Star wouldn't be bringing

her sister home. Stephanie knew something was wrong with her twin as she cried herself to sleep.

*Present*

The dust settled around the bus as the guard uncuffed her. Star glared up at him and

crossed her arms across her chest. "I am changing my clothes before I get off."

The guard grabbed her arm and pulled her off her seat. Star growled and kicked him in

the shin. "I want to change first." The guard stood back up and grabbed her by her hair. She

struggled to get out of his grasp but he held tighter and pulled. Dragging her behind him by her

hair he picked up her bags and walked to the front of the bus. He tossed her bag out the doors to

the ground.

*******************************************************************

The boys were digging when they saw the yellow bus go by. They hurried to finish

digging and headed towards the tents. The group of them tossed their shovels towards the library

and turned in time to see bags come flying out of the bus door to the ground.

They then heard a string of swearing come from the bus. A cry of pain from a man

followed. Then another thing came flying out of the door to join the luggage in the dirt. A kid

with a hat and bandana's mouth dropped open dropping his toothpick into the dirt.

The figure on the ground moved wincing as it sat up. Star blinked at the group of boys

staring at her. She brushed her brown curls out of her face and stood up studying the oogling

boys in front of her with cold blank eyes. As her eyes scanned over the group of guys her gaze

froze on the one in front of her. He had a fresh toothpick in his mouth and he just looked at her as

if he could care less. But something about his eyes. She could see the cold blank look present in

his gaze. It was all too familiar to her.

Her eyes then traveled to the tall crazy haired kid who was standing next to him. He

looked at her with wide eyes and was mumbling something over and over again.

"Nymph, Psamathe, playful, nymph, danger, stay back, seductive, play with mind.

Nymph, no." He kept rambling over and over looking at her with eyes that looked like they were

seeing right through her.

Star frowned at the group in front of fher and was about to say something when the guard

came stumbling off the bus holding his stomach. Star managed to spot on his shoe and kick dirt

at him before he grabbed her by the hair and dragged her away leaving her bags behind along the

a very shocked group of boys.
