Prologue

I am not strong enough for this.

Amber’s P.O.V

“Nerd, nerd, nerdy nerd-nerd.”

     Yup, I am the head nerd of this school. I don’t even know if that’s a good or bad thing but my schoolmates actually voted me as president. Why do we have a nerd’s group, you may ask but, trust me, don’t ask. Just think it, don’t bother asking it out loud because you’ll be laughed at, added to the idiot group and be only one group ahead of the nerd group.

     In this world, this is the only place where you see persons who actually take their school work seriously as low lives. Even the members or the 'idiot' group are invited to parties, get-togethers and private bowling matches.  Trust me it hurts me, to say the least.

     Right now, I was taking my regular morning walk down the hallway to meet up with my best friend. Funny thing is my best friend is Eva Simon, the captain of the cheer team. An even funnier thing, is that she is at the top of the female food chain. The only reason that I’m not physically bullied, well not always physically bullied, is because of her.

     Eva is extraordinarily beautiful. Every single thing is perfect about her. She was blessed with the looks of Andy Jacob from ‘Changed by the Bad Boy’. If I didn’t know better I would think that they were twins and just haven’t found out as yet.

     Both Andy and Eva were blonde, tall, tanned, has grey eyes and has the unadulterated body. To be honest with myself, I’m jealous of my best friend so damn much. I know that being jealous of someone isn’t fair to the person but I just can’t help myself!

     Sad thing about life though, she was a lesbian but guys still threw themselves at her feet. Being the captain of an all-girl cheer team, she only accepted lesbians, bisexuals or girls who wouldn’t mind being ogled at.

     “Amber! Gosh, I’ve been trying to get your attention like… forever!” I her someone scream from behind me. Well not just any someone but Eva.

     Turning around, I smiled at how bitchy and high pitched her voice sounded when she shouted. She was dressed in a red mini skirt, white V-neck tee shirt, transparent stockings and four inch heels. This girl had no stop; she wanted to look great at all times. Her hair was placed in an elegant high bun. Normally, a few strands would escape a person’s hair but hers was always neat and well kept.

     “Sorry, I didn’t hear you. I guess I was thinking about too much stuff… Big exam coming up and all,” I say, twisting the truth around as I shrug. She raises her eye brow at me so I ask, “By the way, awesome outfit Eva. So, how’s it going?”

     “Oh cut the crap Amber, I know that you won’t thinking about your “exam”,” She says, making bunny ears with her fingers when she said the word exam. Oh well, I was discovered; oops?

      “What do you mean?” I say, playing the innocent role.

     “Amber you look depressed again. Did your parents get into a fight?” She asks softly, taking a step towards me.

     Immediately, I felt a ball build up in my throat. Trying to swallow the tears, I nod at my best friend. I could see her face soften as she pulls me into a hug. “T-They took her away Eva, they took her away. I-I don’t know how to live with myself anymore.”

     “Don’t worry, she will come back soon,” She says, trying to comfort me, making small circles with her hand on my back.

     “S-She won’t Eva. The child rights people took her and they said that they already found a family for her,” I sob, pulling my best friend closer to me.

     My younger sister, Amelia, is only seven years old. My parents have been fighting from the day that she was born. My father never liked the fact that he had a child like her but to me she was a blessing. This little child, brown haired and blue eyed angel was my hope for the future.

     The only reason my parents got into those fights was because Amelia couldn’t walk.

     Firstly, she was born with slight blindness and semi paralyzed legs. My father, being the snob he was claimed that she wasn’t his child. My mother loved this girl with all her heart and from the day she was born, she has showed Amelia that love. One time my father tried to beat her because of Amelia and coincidentally, the child support agent happened to pass by.

     Today was a little more violent and I wasn’t even there. I woke up earlier than usual just so that I could have printed my biology project because my printer was jammed. Just as the last sheet was copied, I received a phone call from my mother and she cried her heart out. It broke my heart to hear my mother cry.

     I was going to come back home just to comfort her but she said she wasn’t there. She said that she was determined to get her daughter back or to even get visiting rights from the persons who got to adopt her. Deep down, I wanted to be at her side. In the future I don’t want to go through any of those types of family problems.

     “You know what Amber, come with me, I need you to clear your mind,” Eva said, pulling away from the embrace.

     “Okay,” I had no time to argue right now. She whipped away the tears away from my eyes with her thumb. Licking my lips, I fixed my new school bag on my shoulders.

     “Great,” She smiles, dragging me along with her.

     I didn’t notice earlier but our little bonding moment satisfied the interest of some lingering students in the hall. Some of those who really didn’t appreciate that Eva and I were friends, they soured up their face and Eva flashed them her middle finger. Those who were a little understanding actually took it out if their way to give supporting nods.

     Eva and I walked out of the front doors of the school and then made out way round back. We approached the gymnasium. At first, I wondered where she was taking me and why, but now everything is clear now. But what would about my clothes?

     “Don’t worry about your clothes; I have an extra pair of swim shorts and a vest.”

     One thing I liked about Eva, she always knew what I wanted to say. Sometimes I really pondered on the possibility of her being a psychic. Maybe she had some type of mind reading powers, which I was yet to do enough research to proportionate the equivalency of the possibilities of.

     “You always know what I think Eva,” I say, smiling at her as we got undressed.

     “Nope,” She says, popping her ‘p’. “I always know what you think because you don’t think it, you say it out loud but just too caught up in your thoughts to notice.”

     My mouth forms an ‘o’ and I blush slightly. To say that I was embarrassed was putting things lightly. All my years of knowing Eva, today was the only day this little devious human being has ever told me I spoke my thoughts involuntarily!

     “My entire life has been a lie!” I exclaim, waiting for her to hand me the swim wear.

     “Yeah… I think I should have broken the news to you a little earlier,” She says and I smack her on the arm and we burst into laughter afterwards.

     “No need to get violent sweetheart, with a body like yours it’s dangerous to be this close to me. Pervert mode, activated,” She says, doing a weird look with her face and I made run for it.

     We ran around the pool for a good ten minutes before I carelessly tripped, over a flat surface which was perfectly dry. As I fell in, I could hear the sounds of Eva’s laughter erupting throughout the room. I stayed underwater for a little longer because my cheeks were burning up.

     “Oh Amber! Where are you? I cannot see you through this TRANSPARENT pool, you know! What if the water particles close on you my dear friend?” I could hear Eva coo, sarcasm clear in her tone.

     If I could’ve, I would’ve rolled my eyes at her but they were facing downwards and I was underwater. Feeling out of breath, I finally decided to surface. The moment I took a deep breath, water was splashed in my face!

     “Oh no you didn’t,” I shout, splashing at Eva.

     “That’s the same thing Mr. Hendrix will say when we try entering his class,” She jokes but I could tell that it was more than a joke.

     “Oh shit! We might get detention!” I say, baffled. “Like no shit my red head friend,” Eva says with a smirk.
