Chapter 1

"I collapsed onto the floor. My vision was hazed, my head swaying heavily on my shoulders and spinning with dizziness. I was coughing a lot and finding it difficult to breathe. I didn't get that far - until I fell unconscious to darkness." It's never easy moving to a new town, living in a new house, sharing with complete and utter strangers and then starting a new school, all in the very same week. But one girl thinks she's up for the challenge. Skyler Reed has no idea what's in store for her as she moves into Oakley State Manor, embarking on a new chapter of her life... And thus begins our tale of freedom, friendship, fun and lots of fireworks.
