I can't stand getting up early. Its a big injustice. Why must we get up so early? I hate it. Mornings are not my strong suit.

    I step put of bed and pull on some pale jeans, a red bralette, a plain white tee, and my black and white hightop vans. My hair I pull into my customary messy ponytail, and my makeup is my same as always grey eyeshadow with pale foundation.

    When I'm ready I head down the stairs where laura is making breakfast. She seems nice in some Scooby Doo pajama bottoms and a Huston Texans t-shirt.
     "Hey Kara, I'm Laura. Did you sleep well last night?" She asks me.
     "Yeah." I say shortly.
     "Do you like the room?" She asks.
     "Not really. The room is to bright. I like a dark room. Could we fix it to be more you know, my style?" I ask.
     "Yeah. Maybe this Saturday if i don't have any errands to run." She tells me then asks, "Do you want any breakfast?"
     "No I don't eat breakfast. I get sick if I do."
     "Okay. Any food preferences?"
     "Fruit and Veggies. I'm a vegetarian." I tell her.
     "Okay I will get you some when i go grocery shopping today." She tells me.

    When dad comes in the room I stiffen and turn toward the door.
     "I'm going to school." I say and head to the door.
     "Wait Kara. You need to eat." He tells me.
     "I don't eat breakfast. I get sick." I call heading to the door.
     "Let her go." Laura whispers but I still hear her.

    The school is a 10 minute walk from the house. I make the walk while jamming to Guns and Roses. I have playlists for everyone of my fave bands. I love rock and roll it echos my constant mood.

    When I get go the school I find it very appealing. It is bright white with red shutters. Its a small school because the town only has around 200 teens. We can all fit in the high school with room to spare.

    As I walk up the drive I get some stares from folks. A few smile and a few just rudely stare so I lift the cornners of my mouth in the form of a smile at them. I walk into the office and asks the clerk.
     "I'm new and need a schedule."
     "Honey you need a visitors pass and then go see the freshmen counsiler. She's in room 210. What is your name?"
     "Kara Vincent."
     "Here you go." She tells me handing me a visitor pass.

    I head out of the office to room 210. The counsiler's name is Ms. Mercer. She smiles as I walk in.
     "It's nice to meet you Kara. We need to get you a schedule."
     "Yes ma'am." I say.
     "So what kinda classes do you want to take?" She asks me.
     "A mix of regular and advanced. I really like math. I should be in geometry. I already took Algebra 1. For reading I should be in regular reading. Social studies regular. And science I really want to take an advanced class. Encores I really don't care." I tell her.
     "You are very thorough. We have an advanced science for freshmen. We can put you in Modern World History this year. For language arts you can be in our regular freshmen Journalism class. Can I put you in Art and Musical Studies?"
     "Yeah."
     "Okay your all set Kara. If you ever need anything come to me. I know you got into a fight in Boston. Let me tell you we do not tolerate that. You seriously hurt that girl."
     "She hurt me too. She'd bullied me since third grade. I finally had enough. The counsilers never did anything." I tell her.
     "Okay now you need to get to your first class." She tells me shooing me out of her office.

    When I into my first class which is Geometry with a guy named Mr. Scowell. He looks cool enough and young. I always click better with younger teachers.
     "Hey you must be Kara?" He asks.
     "Yes thats me." I smile.
     "Okay you can sit next to Kade. Kade raise your hand."

    I turn to a class of ten kids. A boy in the back raises his hand. He is pretty cute. I head to the desk next to his and sit down.
     "Hey I'm Kade." He tells me.
     "I got that from Mr Scowell, captain obvi." I say popping my gum. I then turn to the front of the room and listen to Mr. S.

    When I get up to walk out of the room Kade stops me.
     "Do you have an escort?"
     "An escort for what?" I ask.
     "To the barn dance tomorrow night." He asks.
     "I'm sorry I didn't get the memo. I'm not going." I say sarcasticly.
     "You should go with me."
     "I'm taken."
     "By who? You just said you weren't going."
     "Im taken by my best friend and a Skype call." I say then head to my next class.
* * * *
    The day ends with me making no friends. I get asked to this Barn Dance by three guys. I've never been asked out. They are all cute but I need to call lacie tonight.
     "Kara wait up?" I turn to see Kade again.
     "What?"
     "Can you please just go to this dance with me?" He asks.
     "Why me? There must be tons of other girls that would want to go with you."
     "Thats it. I want to take you."
     "Well I'm not going and that's final." I tell him and turn to leave.

    He grabs my hand and pulls me against him. I barely know this dude but the contact makes me gasp. There are sparks.
     "Leave me alone!" I say writhing out of his grasp.
     "Someday you will be my girl." He says smirking.
     "Not with the way your acting now."
     "Oh yes you will." He calls as I literally run to get away from him. He must be desperate.
* * * *
    When I get to the house Laura is sitting on the front porch talking laying in the sun. So she's one of those Barbie girls.
     "Hey Kara!" She calls to me as I walk up the steps.
     "Hey Laura." I say and head in the house.

    When I get to the kitchen the fridge is stocked with apples, strawberries, tomatoes, peaches, peppers, watermelon, and lettuce. I find the peanut butter and an apple and eat that as a snack. I haven't eaten all day and dinner is in a couple hours. So a small snack is the best.

    When I'm done I head to my room and pull out my laptop. Then I remember I don't have the Wi-Fi password. So I get up and head to the porch where Laura still lays.
     "Laura what's the Wi-Fi password?"
     "Its Kara2004." She tells me.
     "Why?"
     "Your father missed you when he got it." She tells me still laying there with her eyes closed.
     "Okay thanks." I call as I run back to my room.

    I finally call Lacie and she answers on the third ring.
     "Hey gal." I drawl out to her.
     "What's up?" She asks.
     "I've already had three guys ask me out. This one guy Kade won't stop. He said "Someday you'll be my girl" it's weird. He doesn't know me. I could be a air head but he wants me."
     "What did he ask you to do?" She asks me.
     "He asked me to a barn dance."
     "You should go alone. It would be funny if you showed up in spite of him and had a blast." She tells me.
     "I'll have to ask someone where it is." I say.

    I don't really want to go but it would be funny to see his face if I show up alone. It is hard to turn a face like his down but I can. I'm gonna do it.
     "So when is it?" She asks me pulling me out of my thoughts.
     "Tomorrow night."
     "Okay you should wear that black dress you got a couple weeks ago. It would be cute with those boot your dad sent you in the mail."
     "I refuse to wear those boots."
     "Then your black heels." She says.
     "How should I do my hair?"
     "In a messy fish tail."
     "Okay. Thanks. So, what have you been doing?" I ask her.

    After talking for two hours I call my mom and we talk for a little while. Then I get ready to go for a jog.

    I pull on my black leggings and a nike tank. I wipe my makeup off and head out the door. Laura is making dinner.
     "You going for a run?" She asks.
     "Yeah when's dinner?"
     "In like 30 minutes." She tells me. I nod and head out the door. I have 20 minutes to run in the park across the street. I plug my earbuds in and head start jogging.

    Halfway down the trail I slam into a bare chest. It's very muscular and the stomach has a six pack. I slowly look up into a pare of black eyes.
     "Hi, I'm so sorry." I say to the very hot guy.
     "It's fine."
     "Okay well I'm gonna go now." I say and run away.

    Omg that guy was hot. Like supermodel hot. Man my hormones are crazy. Wait till Lacie hears about this.

    When I get back to the house I plop down in the chair on the porch.
     "Laura I'm out here." I call to her.
     "Dinner is ready." I head into the kitchen.

    There is salad and fried peppers in my place. Dad is eating steak and potatoes. Laura is eating steak and fried peppers as well.
     "Thanks." I say and dig in. Dad clears his throat and I look up.
     "Yes?"
     "Did you have a good day?" He asks.
     "It was okay. I was asked out by three guys. This guy Kade is very persistent. He asked three times. Where is this Barn dance?" I ask.
     "I don't know. You going?" He asks.
     "I'm going solo. I don't need a man to go. He asked if I had an escort." I laugh.
     "Well around here who you date is a big thing." Laura puts in.
     "It doesn't matter to me. I don't want to date anyone." I tell her quickly.
     "Texas boys have a charm to change your mind." She says knowingly.
     "Speaking of, I was running in the park and ran into this really hot guy. He was like supermodel hot. Do you know who he is?"
     "Yeah. That's Travis. He is bad news. Does drugs and has a gang." She tells me frowning.
     "Okay I wasn't gonna try anything. I was just curious." I say.

    After dinner I shower and head to bed. Being back in school has depleted my energy. I need some sleep. I really want a black room. The walls are to bright. I hate bright colors. As I fall asleep Travis and Kade come to mind. They are both cute!
* * * *
    I wake up next day groaning. I don't want today to happen. Maybe he will notice me today. I decide to dress up.

    I head to my bathroom where I do my everyday makeup look. Grey eyeshadow and pale foundation. I fish tail my hair in a messy plait. For clothes I pull on my white bralette and a burgandy v-neck neck shirt. I put on my short skater skirt, tucking my shirt loosely in with my black lace up heels. I do a small twirl in the mirror and laugh. I like Travis. Maybe he will notice me today.

    Laura raises her brows at me as I walk through the kitchen.
     "Why so dressed up?"
     "I don't know. Want to make Kade even more desperate." I giggle fakely.
     "Your trouble!" She laughs. I laugh along and head out the door.
     "Wait Kara! Can you eat even a small apple for breakfast?" She calls out concerned.
     "No!" I yell and continue out the door.

    I know it was rude but I don't like breakfast. I'm skinny but not anorexic. I can manage my own eating habits.

    I walk down the sidewalk with my jam in my ears. Today its Guns and Roses. I really like rock. It connects with my soul. I look up as tires screech at me as I'm crossing the street. Travis is sitting in a sweet mustang convertable. Its green with black stripes. I grin waving and keep walking.

    If I seem stuck in him he won't want me. Kade also will be put off. I'm not boy crazy but I do like to play them. It's funny. Travis calls out to me as I'm walking across the street.
     "Hey girl, you want a ride?" He's staring at my legs.
     "My face is up her!" I call as I walk over to the passenger side.
     "Get in." He says.
     "I'll pass!" I say leaning in to smirk at him. His eyes go to my lips.
     "Your hot!" He mutters.
     "Thanks Romeo." I say then walk all the way across the street.

    Mission accomplished. He noticed me. Now to break his heart before he breaks mine. I grin at the prospect.
* * * *
    The day passes quickly and im heading home my feet killing. Today I met a girl named Candy. She is nice and knows how to play the boys like me. She's half african american with an exotic look about her. I like her and hope we can be friends.

    When I get to the house I kick my shoes and sigh in pleasure. To bad the torture will continue tonight. I have to wear these five inch heels. They are cute but very uncomfy. I can't wait to blow Kades mind. He will be surprised.

    I grab an apple and peanut butter before heading to my room. Laura is nowhere to be seen. I pull on my jogging shoes and a pair of exercise shorts and a nike sports bra. It's more sexy than usual but I may run into Travis again. I grin at the thought of that. I'm a little gal player. Kade and Travis.

    As I walk into the park I sway my hips to Guns and Roses. I look like an idiot dancing down the trail. It's quite funny. I head down the same trail as yesterday and bop my head to the music.

    As I round a bend in the trail I don't see Travis but I do see Kade walking in his cowboy boots. I shoot past him and wave a hello before turning back to the trail. He looks distracted.

    I turn back around after running for 40 minutes and head home panting. I didn't see Travis but I may tonight. I quickly shower and do my makeup over. I redo my hair and pull on my dress. It's a black skater style tight on the top and flared around the hips. I pull my burgandy leather jacket over it. My shoes can wait till after dinner.

    I head to the kitchen where my salad along with some eggs wait. I eat and go back to my room. I pull my heels on and grab a clutch for my wallet. I call a cab and sit on the porch to wait.

    When the cab arrives I get in and pay him. Candy told me where the dance so I tell the Cabby and we hrad there.

    I call Laura and tell her I've left and then sit back wondering what this Barn Dance will be like. I hope maybe Travis will be there. I doubt it though because of his gang and all. Its Friday night and gangs run rampant on Fridays.

    When I get to the barn its five minutes out of town. So it takes like 25 minutes to get there. I can't walk home and be home by curfew. When I walk in the room is filled with girls in boots and dresses. I'm the only one in heels. Oh well lets bring some Northern charm to the party.

    Kade sees me and grins big. He heads my way but I turn to the guy against the wall to my right. He had asked me to the dance.
     "Hey do you have an escort?"
     "Nope." He says shortly.
     "Wanna dance?" I ask him batting my lashes.
     "Sure." He says and takes my hand.

    His name is Steve and he doesn't like me very much. He tells me I'm a rude flirt who is empty headed.
     "So why are you dancing with me?" I ask him.
     "Because your hot. I wanna look good and make my ex jealous." He instantly responds.
     "Well thanks for the complement. Do you know what grade Travis Blakely is in?" I ask him.
     "He's a junior, why?"
     "I wanna see if he is as bad as they say." I giggle as the dance ends.
     "Thanks for the dance." He says then dissapears into the crowd.

    A hand grabs mine as I head to the punch bowl. It's Kade and he looks mad.
     "Why are you here?" He asks.
     "I decided to come last minute."
     "Can I have this dance?" He asks.
     "Nope, it's more like can I have a glass of punch." I say and head to the. punch bowl.
     "Why were you at the park earlier?" He asks me.
     "I was running. Its my way to burn calories." I tell him.
     "Why don't you come to my dad's ranch? You'll burn the calories in two hours. Work is the best fitness." He declares.
     "Maybe I'll come and see round up." I say.
     "You'll help too. My dad can persuade you." He laughs.
     "I'll pass." I say and head to the dance floor.

    A pop song is playing and I like the beat. The music makes me dip sway my hips. The world spins as someone grabs my hand twirling. I laugh and bop up and down. I look up into dark eyes. They are Travis's. He looks hot in a black leather jacket and light jeans. He has a white t-shirt on and his feet are clad in combat boots.
     "Hey what are you doing here?" I ask.
     "We decided to crash the party. I put some extacy in the punch. The food is baked with pot." He laughs.

    My eyes go wide as I look at my punch.
     "Don't worry sugar, I did it like 3 minutes ago. The punch Kade is drinking has extacy in it."

    I don't like this guy anymore. I pull myself from his grasp and head to the punch bowl. Half of its gone! I head to the DJ booth. The DJ gives me a weird look and I grab the Mic.
     "No one drink the punch. There is a gang who put extacy in it. Travis did it." I scream.
     "Stop Kara!" Travis whispers in my ear grabbing the mic.
     "No, after what you did." I say pushing him away. Kade comes over seeing my struggle. Before he can get to me Travis picks me up and hands me to another gang memeber.
     "Take her to head quarters."

    I squirm even more and hit the guy in the back.
     "Let me go!" I scream. Kade is beginning to stumble due to the extacy in his drink. I'm whisked out the door to a waiting car. My hands are tied and my eyes are covered with a blindfold. I feel the prick of a needle before I pass out and the world is nothing.
* * * *
    I wake to Travis slapping my arm.
     "Wake up Kara. It's play time." Ge says. I'm groggy and don't put up a fight when he pulls me out of the car.
     "You look HOT tonight." He whispers and I shiver. The whisper holds a malice I don't like. The night comes back and I squirm in his arms.

     Just then the rip of sirens comes to my ears.
     "Run everyone!" Travis screams and drops me. I stumble and grab his arm. If the cops are coming hes going down.
     "Where are you going sweet?" I ask.
     "Away!" He says trying to get away. Nope he thought.
     "Kiss me!" I whisper in exitment.
     "I can't."
     "Yeah you can."
     "No!" He screams in terror as the police car pulls into the lot.
     "Yep!" I say and kiss him.

    The kiss is gross but it makes him disoriented. He grabs me around the waist and kisses me hard. I put his handas behind his back and a pair of cuffs encircle them. He gasps and pulls away.
     "Your gonna rot." I tell him.
     "You will to." He says.

    The officers turn to me and I grin.
     "I was drugged and brought here." I say.
     "Your the chief's daughter?" He asks.
     "Yep!" I say.
* * * *
    I get home courtesy of an officer from the police. My dad is a cop. He gave me a watch that has a location tracker in it for if I get in a jam. It has a button that I can press to alert the police and they will come to my rescue. I hated to use it but I was scared and an illegal thing happened.

    Laura is waiting when we pull up to the drive.
      "Are you okay?" She asks worriedly.
     "I'm okay, just tired." I say shortly. My dad is in the kitchen when I walk in.
     "Hey thanks for helping me catch that son of a camel." He says.
     "I didn't use it to help you. I did it because I was drugged. I did it because a ton of teens were in danger." I say shortly.
     "Night love you." He says frowning.
     "Night."

    I head to bed and change into pajamas. My feet hurt really bad and my head is pounding. I don't know what was in that injection but I hope its nothing serious. I will have to tell dad in the morning.

    I fall asleep after texting mom that I love her and promise to call her the next day.
