Prologue

Freshman year always seems to be the hardest, or so Darla has been told. Starting her first year in high school doesn't seem so bad, especially since she's in band and she has her long time friend Gerson at her side, but once she starts hanging out with the wrong people everything changes. Her relationship with Gerson soon gets ruined as as they are introduced to the ways of peer pressure. The only thing that keeps them together is the marching band, but what happens when even them, their "family" becomes distant? What happens when the one person whom she trusts, maybe even loves, is taken away from her?
