My dad pulls into the back parking lot and signals for me to get out of the car. I groan‚ knowing that I am in for a long practice‚ and slowly drag myself out of the front seat. I lug my hockey bags out of the trunk‚ and they become another nagging reminder of the grueling workout I’m about to face. My dad speeds away and I’m left alone‚ staring at the large‚ brightly lit building

In only a moment there was no longer any wind‚ no salty air‚ and no obnoxious sound. It all paused for a single

My heart thumps in my chest as I peer over the edge‚ a 6‚000 foot drop that has been carved out‚ making way to the deep‚ blue river. The harsh sound of water pounding against the dark red rock makes it very clear how this canyon has been formed. I try to make my across the canyon’s edge‚ but I’m beginning to feel faint and the fear of falling has almost completely consumed me. I slowly take another step‚ trying not to look down.

CHAPTER ONE: The only decoration in my locker was an old ninja turtles band-aid stuck on the inside from someone in a previous year. I hadn’t bothered to peel it off. The blue paint was slowly peeling off and the lock only worked half the time. I pulled my hair out of its ponytail and shook it out before grabbing my textbook out of the locker. My nails were bitten short with chipped blue nail polish. Last class I had destroyed them with anxiety. I shut my locker in frustration‚ knowing the next
