As I head off to football practice I think about how my life is about to get extremely complicated. I have grown up with just my mom for many years now. Sadly my father died in a car accident when I was seven years old and it has just been us since then. I don’t have any brothers or sisters, but that is due to change tomorrow.
My cousin Grace is coming to live with us and it will be my job to act as her protector and God only knows she is going to need one. I have met her several times over the years and she is the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen. We know that she is special but even I don’t know the true extent of it.
Her guardians are related to us and Aria is my mom’s sister. They have moved around an awful lot since they took charge of Grace but have decided that she needs a safe environment to see out High school.
If they think that Falcondell High is safe then they need their heads examined. I will have my work cut out for me that’s for sure. If Ash Knight takes a liking to her then I will have big trouble on my hands. Nobody goes against him and his gang and after what happened to Jessica Parker last semester I am not sure that I will be able to keep her safe.
I only hope that her guardians have provided her with strong enough protection because if anyone saw her as she really is then all hell would break loose. No this is going to be one interesting year and I can sense that this is just the calm before the storm.
