Scarlett Hills. Maybe it's the fact that I have this horrible thought of losing Andrew to Ora. I don't know what I would do if I lost Andrew to another girl. Maybe I would tumble off of the cliff and be gone forever.
    Love, Nina
     
    * * * *
    Some days I'm perfectly happy, and other days I'm depressed out of my mind. I just want to do good things in life, and make something out of this life of mine. I want to make a dfference and leave an imprint in people's hearts.
                  “Where's your mind at?” Andrew asks me as my thoughts drift away.
                  “Nowhere special,” I admit.
                  “Are you feeling okay today?”
                  “Yes, my love, I'm fine,” I lie. When someone asks me how I'm doing or feeling, I always tell them I'm fine. I always lie. A part of me hopes that one person will stare into my eyes and say, “No you're not. What's wrong?”
                  “Let me go make you some breakfast,” Andrew says, as he jumps out of bed and runs to the kitchen.
                  I drift off into unconsciousness. It feels like I was out for just a few seconds by the time Andrew comes back.
                  “I leave you alone for ten minutes and you fall asleep,” he laughs as he hands me a plate of my favorite, blueberry pancakes.
                  I take the plate and begin to shovel the food into my mouth. I must have been hungry. I didn't really notice, I'm more tired than anything.
                  “I'm not attending school today. We're going to try to get some intell on the Brothers,” Andrew announces.
                  “We?” I raise my eyebrows.
                  “Alex, Ora, and myself,” Andrew answers, and looks away from me.
                  I shake my head and try to continue to enjoy my breakfast.
                  “You can take my car to school today, my love.” Andrew sets his keys down next to me. “Be careful with my precious,” Andrew says as if he's trying to mock me, because I always call my Saab my precious.

    This is my first time driving Andrew's black Beamer. I have to say, it drives perfectly. I'm surprised he trusts me to drive such an expensive car. What if I crash it? I'll blame it on someone else.
                  The morning sun starts to glare inside of the Beamer and onto the black leather seats. I put the visor down to stop the light from blocking my vision. A small piece of paper flies out from the visor and onto my lap. What is this? It's Ora's phone number.
                  I shake my head. “I don't think so.” I crumple the small piece of paper into a ball and throw it out the window. I can't help but let out a small giggle.
                  Ora is driving me insane. I hate her even being around the love of my life. I hate the feeling of jealousy. It's such a disgusting feeling.
                  I trust Andrew. I trust him with all of my heart. It's Ora that I don't trust. That's what makes me so jealous.
                  I shake the thoughts of Ora away.
                  I pull into the parking lot of the school. I haven't been this happy to see this place in a long time. I need a distraction from these thoughts.

    The bell rings. It's lunch time and I'm so hungry I could eat for twenty people. I breathe in and smell the cafeteria food. The scent of chicken and french fries fills my nose, and I can almost taste it in my mouth. I feel the saliva start to gather and my stomach growls.
                  I grab some fries and a salad for lunch today. I can't wait to sit down and eat. I'm going to enjoy this so much.
                  I sit at mine and Andrew's lunch table. This is the table we shared our first lunch together. We always sit
