Prologue
Four teenage boys were sitting in the front yard of a huge house talking about sports, girls, and cars when a sleek black car came around the corner and pulled into the driveway. A small, skinny girl got out and walked over to the boys, greeting them in turn.
"Hey, Pouge, Reid, Ty, Cay."
"Hey Claire Bear." The blonde, Reid said.
"You guys ready for your senior year?"
"Yup. Can't wait. The party's tonight. We wish you could come." Came the dirty blonde, Pouge's reply.
"Yeah, seriously. Do you have to leave today?"
"Yeah. My plane takes off in three hours, so I need to leave soon. I came to get my stuff."
"You excited about college, sis?" the eldest, the brunette, Caleb asked.
"Yeah. Not too thrilled that I'll be the youngest there though."
"Oh, come on-"
"How many 16 year olds do you know go to college, Cay?"
"….OK, you're the only one, but it won't be so bad. You'll be the smartest one there. I'll guarantee it."
"And," Said the raven haired one, Tyler, "You'll make lots of friends. Just you watch."
"And call us if you have any trouble, OK? You can still transfer to Harvard or MIT."
"'Kay, Cay."
"Bye, everyone!" She called as she got back into her car.(All the talking was while they were getting her stuff)
"Bye!"
'I can't wait.!' Claire thought.
Where was she going, you ask? Morganville, Texas.
