Chapter 1

Quinn's Point of View

I finished packing up my last box, which was now filled with my science supplies, and worked on taping the container shut.

I was going to be heading back to PCA tomorrow for my senior year of high school. It was weird to think about. I had been attending the Pacific Coast Academy since the 8th grade. It was hard to believe that this would be my last year going to the boarding school located in California. This year was going to be even more difficult for me considering what had happened in the state just a couple weeks ago.

The incident occurred while I was visiting Logan at his mansion in Beverly Hills. Why was I visiting Logan, you ask? Well . . . for the past several months he has been my boyfriend. Yes, me, the science nerd, was dating Logan; the rich, attractive, athletic, and now ex-player.

Our relationship first started a couple days after Mark broke up with me. My ex-boyfriend had developed a crush on another girl in one of his classes, and ended things with me in order to pursue a relationship with her. The girl appeared to be the exact opposite of me, especially in the way she dressed. When my attempt to win Mark back by dressing more 'slutty' didn't work, Logan had found me sitting on a bench, crying.

The way he had talked to me; without the slightest hint of sarcasm or a single hurtful remark, was so unlike the Logan I had gotten to know over the years. He was kind and sweet to me in a way that he had never been with me before. Then . . . something happened. One second we were talking about Mark, and next thing I knew his lips were on mine. That kiss . . . it was so different from the way Mark would kiss me.

Everything changed after that. I was scared about how our friends and classmates would react to the turn of events. We started by sneaking around to do our couple activities in secret, and eventually came out during the prom last year.

Anyways, while I was visiting my new boyfriend at his house, Logan had introduced me to three of his friends that lived in his neighborhood; one of which thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of me during the middle of the night. Ever since, I have been a mess.

I came back to my hometown in Seattle shortly after the incident, but only because Logan agreed to come with me. Since the attack, Logan was the only person that I have felt completely safe around. He has been a huge help and comfort for me. I don't know what I would have done without him these past couple of weeks.

Logan had been staying with my family and me ever since, rarely leaving my side . . . that is, until last week. With the new semester starting soon, Logan had to go home to make sure he had everything he needed for the new school year. He was hesitant about leaving me, but he agreed to go after I told him I would be fine until school started. Even so, he made me promise to call him if I needed anything.

I had been surprisingly better since coming back to my hometown, that is, considering that I have stopped crying and my body has stopped shaking uncontrollably all the time. Nights were still hard though, with nightmares occurring frequently. I have tried to call Logan as few times as possible, in a panic, especially during the middle of the night, but it was nice to hear his voice during those few occasions where I had given in and picked up the phone.

The idea of going back to California terrified me. I knew that all of my panic would come back due to returning to an area that was just a couple hours drive from where I was attacked. The worst part was that Daniel was still out there somewhere and no one knew where he was.

Logan's Point of View

In less than twenty-four hours I will be back at PCA. I was surprised to find myself excited about going back to school this year. Sure, going back meant dealing with classes, teachers, and more homework. Not usually my favorite things to be around, but compared to all the drama I have witnessed over the summer, I was happy to have the chance to return to something more normal.

What could possibly have happened to me over my summer vacation to make me, Logan Reese, excited about returning to school? It all started when I invited my girlfriend, Quinn Pensky, to spend a couple weeks with me at my house over the summer.

My friends were surprised when I first told them that I was in a real relationship with someone, but that reaction was nothing compared to when I told them that she was a science genius. Things just got worse from there . . . They started to make jokes about her before she even arrived, and then there was the incident with Daniel the night of my dad's 4th of July party. I have been worried about Quinn ever since.

I hated having to leave her to head back home. She needs me and I feel like I have just abandoned her. She told me she would be fine for a week, and I eventually gave in only after making her promise to call me if she started to get anxious again. She did call me a couple times in the middle of the night whenever she would wake up from a nightmare. I hated the fact that I couldn't be there to help her through these events in person. I had also called and texted her at least twice a day since I left her.

I knew that returning to California might cause her a little uneasiness, especially with the fact that Daniel was still on the run. I wish I knew what to do to help her.
