Brooklyn New York

Destiny Rodriguez was sitting on her bunk in the girls' bunkroom that was on the third floor of 'Beauchamp Orphanage' where she spent the last 13 years of her life, playing her guitar when all of a sudden little Astrid who was 7 years old came bursting in waving an envelope in the air. "Hey Ast, what ye got there?" asked a curious Destiny as she greeted the excitable young girl.

"Oh just a letter fur ye," she answered with a cheeky grin as she held up the letter. Destiny looked surprised by this as she didn't receive a lot of letters.

"A letter fur me! Yer yanking ma chain!" she exclaimed as she took the letter from Astrid and ripped it open. She quickly scanned the letter that was accompanied with a thick booklet of some sorts.

"Holy shtokemushrooms. I got the scholarship." Destiny yelled as she started jumping up and down and hugging Astrid yelling 'go me yeah go me'.

"Yo what's goin on? Did someone get shot?" asked a frantic 13 year old girl with black hair as she rushed in with a 14 year old black boy and a 10 year old Asian girl hot on her heels.

"Na nobody got shot Bambi, but I did get the scholarship to Eden Hall!" Destiny told the black haired girl with a wide grin.

"Oh my god Des that's awesome!" Bambi exclaimed as she hugged Destiny.

"Man congrats Dee I knew you could do it girl," Dusty the 14 year old black boy said as he gave her a bear hug.

"Yeah kudos to ye but we're sure gonna miss ye round here," Michie told her as she hugged her as well.

"Thanks guys but I ain't leaving until the end of summer so you still have six weeks left to bug the hell outta me," Destiny told them with a small smile. She then brought them into a group hug and they stood there for a good five minutes, boy she was going to miss them all because they were the only family she had.

Sapphire Jones was out in her back yard with her younger brother Chance practicing her pitching and boy did she have some curve ball. "Hey Sapph, are you excited about going to Eden Hall?" Chance asked his older sister as he tossed the ball back to her.

"Yeah kind of, I'm just really glad that I'll get to see Jordan everyday but the people from Eden Hall told me the softball team suck and they hope I'll get them some wins this season, so that be sort of cool," Sapphire replied as she did her signature move what she liked to call 'The Sapph Ball'.

"Man Sapph you trying to kill me. I do want to live to see my twelfth birthday you know," Chance said as he dodged the ball she throw as it whizzed past his head at a high speed.

"Opps sorry little bro, I so didn't mean that," Sapphire told him as she flashed him her angelic smile that could melt the coldest of hearts. Chance just shook his head with a small grin that smile always seemed to get him.

"It's okay sis no harm no foul," he said as he grinned at her.

"Hey kids it's chow time so get your butts in here!" yelled their father music producer Logan Jones good naturedly.

"Ok be right there Daddy!" Sapphire called back to her dad. "Come on I'm starving," she said to her brother as they raced into their 4 bedroom house. She was going to really miss this because in six weeks time she would be attending Eden Hall and it scared the hell out of her.
