Thanks for the review JoJo ! I'd love some more!

Jen sighed as she stepped from the big white truck, shrugging as she walked forward, her eyes darting nervously back and forth. She held the sax case by her side as the truck sped away. She stood frozen for a moment.

"JEN!" someone called out.

Jen sighed, relieved. It was Abbie, of course it was Abbie, Abbie was always here.

"Abigal!" Jen said turning, grinning as her jet-black hair swung around her shoulders.

"Jennifer!" Abbie said laughing.

Abbie was the flag captain and very much fit the stereotype of the ditzy blonde flagger. Blue-eyes, blonde-hair, wide smile with dimples. She was the second most popular girl in the Guard, Emily being first of course.

Jen was just the kind of girl people like Abbie were supposed to make fun of. She had dark eyes, dark hair, and her own mysterious sense of beauty. Her eyes were vulnerable and her face framed by stick straight black hair.

Abbie isn't like that though; she's that one girl in the popular group who doesn't even realize she's popular. She'll talk and laugh with anyone who's willing to listen.

"Shannon!" Abbie called as she saw the girl with the soft dirty-blonde hair resting on her shoulders. Shannon was a flag, a shy flag. No one in the band really knew her all that well, because she's the type who'd rather keep to herself.

The odd thing was, Shannon wasn't by herself, she was with someone none of them recognized. The girl had red-hair, obviously died.

Jen rolled her eyes. She wasn't a snob necessarily but she hated it when her friends left. She always felt like she would never see them again. But after what happened...

"NO!" Jen said, shaking her head.

"You okay Jen?" Abbie asked, looking at her friend and cocking her head.

"Oh, um... yeah" Jen replied, nodding softly. She had come so close to going back, to remembering...

"Shannon!" someone called.

Shannon looked up, "who was that?"

Kate shrugged, "I dunno" She crossed her arm and smiled. She hadn't seen Shannon in awhile, and it was nice to see people like her and Ruby again. There were others of course, but she hadn't known them enough. Ruby and Shannon had been on the Math team with her. Along with Sandra. Kate hadn't seen Sandra yet and was kind of worried. Sandra and Kate had fought in the past and Kate didn't want to get into a fight here, or all places.

Sandra had thick black hair, with purple streaks. She often wore it up or braided it. Her eyes were dark brown, almost black. Her lips were deep red and soft. She had an odd mysterious beauty around her. She was often laughing or smiling. In the beginning, Kate and her had been friends, good friends.

And then came Jack.

Kate hadn't liked him from the start. He thought he was gods gift to the world and that we should all bow down to him. Sandra hadn't seen him like that. She had seen his soft brown hair and dark eyes, almost as deep as her own. And then she had gotten to know him. He had caused her to fall head over heels. She could hardly even breathe when he was around. Kate had been blind to all of this as it happened. But when they started dating, no one was able to miss it. He was all over her. And he was everything to her. She couldn't go 5 minutes without saying his name. She was changing for him. Jack liked skinnier girls, Sandra stopped eating, she exercised more. Jack didn't trust other guys, Sandra stopped hanging around with her old friends.
Kate hated it, she couldn't believe what her friend was turning into. She was disgusted, but she held her tongue. You see, Sandra was intelligent, and she was cruel if she didn't like you. No one wanted to get her mad, so naturally, no one talked to her about her new 'love'. And then she started showing up late to school, and wish bruises. Kate hadn't been able to keep her mouth shut anymore. She confronted Sandra, and got a slap in the face, and a broken friendship.

A month later, Sandra had a broken arm that she supposedly got falling down a flight of stairs. Kate didn't believe it, but to cushion the blow, Sandra and Jack and broken up.

"KATE!"

Kate looked up, "whoa, sorry Shanno..." she said blinking. "Zoned out there."

Kate didnt notice the tears in her eyes.
