2:50 P.M., Monday, Dawson High School

Amber Holloway squeezed out a glob of crimson acrylic paint onto her plastic palette. She added a tinier squirt of yellow and starting mixing with her fingers. She didn't care that most of the students around her were already packing up for the day, laughing and talking about the great parties they had attended over the weekend.

That life simply wasn't one that she could relate to. But here in the open art room, Amber felt relaxed and happy for the first time since the previous Friday when she had last worked on her painting. For Amber, weekends were for working, catching up on homework, and studying. She got far more sleep during the week, even when she stayed up late to complete assignments.

The times she lived for were the precious hours spent huddled over drawings or paintings. Her art teacher happily let her work early in the mornings before school officially started. In evenings, Amber stayed until the janitors chased her out so that they could clean and lock the doors.

"Aren't you coming, Amber?" Hannah asked, her work area already cleared away.

"What?" Amber looked up, blinking as though she had been dreaming.

When she was in the middle of a project, it was if the rest of her crappy life simply melted away.

"I thought we were going shopping at the mall," Hannah said, tapping her foot impatiently.

Her eyes were glued to the classroom clock as it slowly ticked closer to the dismissal bell.

Amber grinned wryly. "Saving every penny for college doesn't let me do anything but drool at all the clothes I can't have."

Hannah popped a piece of gum in her mouth.

"Ugh! I'm so sick of hearing about college. But that reminds me. I have a paper due tomorrow. If you aren't going shopping, then you can edit it for me."

Amber groaned. When Hannah said "edit", she really meant take a rough outline and write the entire paper.

"Seriously, Hannah? I asked you for the rough draft a week ago. I told you that I have a paper due tomorrow as well."

Hannah frowned. "I can't believe you won't help me when Dad got rid of that loser guy this weekend."

Amber's eyes darted around the classroom.

"Hey, keep your voice down," she pleaded, noticing the one cute boy in the whole class staring curiously in their direction.

"And I didn't say that I wouldn't help you," she grumbled. "I just hate when you give me stuff last minute."

Hannah smiled triumphantly. She pulled a notebook from her backpack and ripped out two pages.

"See, it just needs your finishing touches," she said, shoving the pages at Amber as the bell rang. "You can drop it by my house later this evening. Remember. It has to be typed."

Amber watched her best friend hurry out of the class with the rest of the students. Then she looked down at the scribbled pages. Hannah had basically handed her two pages of rough notes without any works cited. To complete the paper,
