Teen Ink

Chapter 1

It was the first day of school, and Candy Miller was nervous about walking through the door. Candy wore a black off-the-shoulder shirt with a red star in the middle, a red above-the-knees-diagonal skirt, black high-heeled boots. For her purse, it was pitch black as her shirt and boots, with a red bow, and red earrings. She even wore red lip gloss on her lips and two red flowers in her hair.
At McClenton High School, she was a sophomore, and had already taken a tour of the school, had her schedule, locker number, and combination. As she nervously walked through the door, she felt like she wanted to faint. Candy, she told herself. Get a hold of yourself. Just don’t freak out. Just be you! So, she decided to look around for locker number 18. She didn’t realize that her ex-boyfriend was watching her with excitement and curiosity.
