Hey guys! Thanks for checking out my story. This is my first fanfiction, though I've read many. I know this first chapter is short, but it's only the prologue. Depending on my reviews is how soon I'll update. R&R please!

Momo Hinamori was a southern girl at heart. Having been born and raised in the same Louisiana home all her life, she wasn't exactly sure she could handle going across the country. Manchester was the largest city in New Hampshire, and though she lived in the city, she had never even visited a big city. Even though she didn't exactly have an accent, she still hoped nothing would make her stick out like a sore thumb.

Her reasons for drastic measures were legit, she supposed. It's not like it was exactly her choice though, either. At a young age, her biological father ran away, leaving her and her mother. Six months ago, Momo's mother died, leaving the sixteen year old on her own, with an erratic grandmother. Momo's mother was clinically depressed before her death, making it seem as if she predicted it herself. Now, she was living with her mom's mom, but there would be no more Louisiana. The old lady had plans to send Momo off to one of the top schools in the country. Momo, who was normally social and made perfect grades, was now failing in every aspect of her life. It was a surprise she did her best on the entrance exam, enabling her to go to Lexter Academy. Though she was shy, she was never this quiet. Her grandmother thought a change of pace would be good for them both. Besides, her grandma had always wanted to live up north.

It was 5 o' clock in the morning when they were on their way to Manchester. Twenty-eight whole hours in the car with a butt-load of luggage was not exactly Momo's cup of tea

"Now, Momo," her grandmother started, "I'm just informing you that you'll be going to a boarding school. It's only about an hour drive from the townhouse I'm getting."

Momo hated listening to her grandma talk. She loved her, it was just that every word was shaky, and sounded as if they'd be her last. "I know, Grandma. I saw the information packet when I filled out the resume'. "

"Well, sugar buns, I was just sayin'." Momo smiled weakly at her grandma's words.

The first nineteen hours seemed to have dragged on into eternity with the lack of words spoken. Even though it really was a long drive, Momo didn't mind much. She liked all the aspects of a long drive; the silence, as long as it wasn't awkward, and the scenery. Life before her eyes turned into humid warmth to piercing cold. Having every thought out in the open was unappealing to her, especially these days, so she was grateful for the silence. The young girl truly hoped things would get better once in her new school and city. Everything would be new to her, and there'd be no ghosts of the past.

It was the 15 of November. In Louisiana, Momo was constantly surrounded by the humidity, making any temperature extreme. The weather was odd for this time of the year, not that it would matter much after the drive to New Hampshire. Needless to say, it was far from cold, and this city would be a huge difference in weather changes.

Although she had literally done nothing but sit in a car all day, she was exhausted and relieved to be in a hotel. Momo was actually pretty surprised at her grandmother. She didn't think she'd ever see the day where she focused on one thing for more than half a day. Momo supposed that she was in a hurry to get to their new home.

Yay! First chapter = complete.
