Chapter 1- A Lovely Vacation
During winter, the choir teacher announced something to her high school juniors choir class. "Attention, class!" Ms. Chase said."I have chosen my top 2 students in my girls choir class!' The class fell into silence. " The two girls that will accompany me on the trip to the Paris Opera House are Ally and Brooke!"
Girls broke out in groans and moans, disappointed. However, the two girls who were picked, a brunette and blonde were excited. Brooke, especially, was very excited. She jumped up and down in joy. "Can you believe it? Paris! The days filled with shopping sprees and never-ending romance!" She said eagerly.
Ally smiled at her anxious friend. She understood her excitement and was delighted when she heard the teacher announce their names. Nonetheless, there was something nagging in the back of her mind. She wasn't sure if she could cope with it.
Her father died there a couple of years ago when he told her he had some business he had to go to in Paris. Everybody knew how he died but they never found his body. Her mother had told her that he was buried in the cemetery behind the opera house but wouldn't tell her how he died. She shut her eyes, thinking.
Meanwhile, Brooke glanced uneasily at her friend knowing about her father's tragedy. That's how she met Ally and had supported her ever since that day she had saw her sitting by herself at the cafeteria alone.
Ally appeared lost in thought. Brooke went over and gave Ally a reassuring hug. She hoped the trip to Paris would brighten Ally's life instead of bringing back painful memories. However, Brooke had no idea what surprises laid in store for them and how much it would change Ally's and her life forever.
