Go to
girls at the academy, and use her looks, instead of talent, to get her through life.  She wanted to be herself, as long as she was still herself. The exact opposite of the other girls. But yet she found herself in front of the mirror examining her outfit and hair.
    She wanted to be disgusted with herself, but only saw Cain’s face. She wanted to tell him she was sorry for being so rude to him. She wanted to pour  her heart out to him, and tell him all of her secrets that she never told anyone else. This did disgust her! She didn’t know anything about him. She wondered how she could feel this way about a stranger. Could he ever accept what I am? She thought. Anxiety swept through her again. She needed to see him. She grabbed her backpack, and ran downstairs, expecting Melina to be waiting in the kitchen for her. No Melina. Shayna looked out the living room window, and saw the Honda sitting in the driveway.
    Weird . Shayna thought. She ran back upstairs, and knocked on Melina’s door, “Mel,” she said, “Are you coming?”
    She could hear Melina moving around on the other side of the door, and then she opened the door, “What?”
    “Are you coming?” Shayna asked again.
    “No,” she said, “Take the car.”
    Shayna hated driving, “Nah, it’s not bad outside, I think I’ll walk.” Most of the students that attended the Interlochen Center for the Arts lived at the academy, and we’re not from Interlochen, or Northern Michigan, Shayna enjoyed walking to school.
    “Whatever,” Melina looked at her twin, “You’re really going to walk?”
    “Sure,” Shayna replied, “I better enjoy the nice weather while it lasts.”
    “Won’t be long,” Melina told her, and closed the door.
    She went downtairs and put her boots on. She couldn’t let her secrets keep her from being happy anymore. She wanted to know more about Cain, he intrigued her. She was anxious again.
    She left the house, and clouds covered the sun, casting a shadow over Melody Lane. So much for a decent day . She turned onto Innwood, and an eerie feeling crept through her.  The feeling from the previous night, when she felt like she was being watched. A branch broke high above her. Startled, she jumped, and looked up. A massive hawk flapped his wings in the tree above.
    Shayna walked below, and the hawk watched her intently. She thought he looked larger than a normal hawk , she couldn’t get over how big he appeared. High up in the tree he seemed as big as a large eagle.
    The clouds cleared, and the sun pierced Shayna’s eyes, blinding her. When her vision was clear, and she could see again, she looked back up, but the beautiful creature was gone. How odd, she pondered. She hadn’t even heard him take off. She wondered if she would have heard him.
    She continued to school, shrugging off the thought of the hawk. She passed by an old closed down retail shop and noticed something new.  There was a sign in the window.
     
     
    Grand Opening
    January 4 th
    ‘Between the Lines’ Bookstore and Gift Shop
     
    She peered in the window. It looked inviting, and very comfortable inside. She took a mental note, to come back and browse around sometime. She hadn’t known Interlochen was even getting a new book store.
    Shayna felt a sense of ease and relief as she walked to school. She told herself that it was time to accept the change that was beginning in her life. If she had secrets that she had no control over, then she was going to have to deal with them. She thought of her father and smiled. She knew that she had meant a lot to him. Marcus Verona had loved his twin daughters equally, but Shayna was different. She was special, and she and her father were connected in a way that he and Melina were not.
    Shayna knew that something inside of her had changed overnight. She could still not fathom why she felt so strongly for this new boy. Maybe it’s part of the change . She thought, and wondered if her emotions and way of thinking would change
