    After heading into the shower I slipped into a white T-shirt and some black skinny jeans. I brushed the knots out of my long black hair.I looked at the make-up that my sister had given to me for my sixteenth birth day.I sighed.Imagining what Alexandera would do to me if I ignored her make-up ,I put on some eyeliner and mascara then grabbed my purse.I took a quick look at the mirror.I saw my olive colored skin and my dark brown eyes.I shrugged I didn't look to bad.Grabbing an apple and two granola bars I headed out of the door.
    I was halfway to school when I glanced at my watch.It read 6:40 am.I still wasn't due for school for another half an hour.I was about to turn around to head back home when I saw my friend Ethan.I waved but he didn't seem to see me.He seemed to be sneeking off somewhere.I smirked and followed him,My thoughts being that he had a girlfriend that he didn't want anyone knowing about.He walked up to a large modern looking house and rang the door bell.I hid in the bushes with the intention to scare him when he came back out.
    Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my side and toppled forward, hitting the ground with a large thump.I looked down dumbly at my side blood was rushing out.It took me a moment to realize that I had been shot.I started breathing in short,quick shallow breaths.I looked up at Ethan his eyes were wide from suprise."Victoria!"I heard him yell as he rushed towards me.He picked up my head and placed it on his lap.I gazed up at him. His lips were moving sound had stoped coming out. He wasn't looking at me he was looking at a man.I assumed it was the one that had shot me.He looked down at me his lips continuing to move but I couldn't make out anything he was saying.It looked as though he was telling me not to worry that help would be there soon.
