The building stands before her large and frightening. This is her first move, her first new school. She hasn't been the new kid since Kindergarten. She is small for her sixteen years, standing only five foot three with almost no shape to speak of. She is not a skinny bony girl though, her shoulders and arms have the muscles and form of a swimmer as well as her legs, which noticeable in her jeans do not show to be long and slim, they are muscular, with a lot of power behind them. Auburn hair that is almost brown falls to her shoulders on the rare occasion that she wears it down, today though as most days it is pulled back in a simple ponytail, out of her blue eyes. Her eyes have often been called her one beauty, standing out brilliantly against an average quietly pretty face like sapphires. During class they are found behind silver rims, enabling her to easily read the board.
Her family recently moved to Manhattan, New York City from a small town in Connecticut. She feels out of place, almost as though she is too plain. All around her people entering the school are dressed to the nines. Extreme preps, Goths, geeks, the works; no one seemed be dressed as she was, plain blue t-shirt and jeans that had been worn past their lifetime. No one gives her a second glance; it is almost as though people stand in the middle of the steps staring at their school every day. She takes a deep breath and walks up the concrete stairs and in through the glass door.
She is Anna Reed and her life is about to change.
