It was the morning of March 13th. Exactly one day before Annabelle’s sixteenth birthday. Annabelle was the second youngest in her group of friends. Blake Jordan the starting quarterback at Olaken High, was the youngest of the bunch. Little did most people know. Then there was Annabelle.

Morgan Eliza is her best friend. Morgan and Annabelle have not known each other for very long like most friendships as close as theirs have.
