Chapter 1
Hearing a baby's cry for the very first time is such a blessing and on that day me and my best friend Anthony Witham were born.
Our mothers were friends, and they were so happy their kids were born on the same day as well, as we both got older, we grew closer and closer we did everything together as long it was possible.
The older we grew the more mature we became and then we hit puberty everything kind of changed i suddenly had body changes and so did Anthony too but that didn't change us, but it made things complicated.
After we left Middle School and entered High School everything changed there were so many things i wanted to try but was too afraid, but Anthony wasn't he was brave and fearless.
In our Sophomore Year of High School Anthony was already popular while me i was the Obsessed Staker Friend of Anthony. That's the name his new friends gave me and it hurts a lot.
Going into our Junior Year i wanted to try out for cheerleading and to my surprise i did and got on the team but that was a regrettable mistake during our competition during a routine i was at the top when suddenly I felt the bottom girls let go of my leg i fell from the very top and landed on the ground i needed a miracle but there was none.
My parents were devastated so my uncle came and told them to send me to Italy. And so, they did i spent One Year and Three Months in a hospital after getting surgery and plastic surgery as well.
I was so weak and pathetic they almost killed me and for what a guy who should have had my back but instead he moved on to the same person who made me like this.
Pain was the last thing i felt i wanted revenge and i was intended on getting it no matter who gets hurt in the process even if it was Anthony my feeling for him made me lay in a bed for A year and couple months well its dually required i return what they did.
And so, i made myself over since i had a new face i became a new person the Nina Cullens died the day i fell and Mina Collins was born a person they soon will fear.
I did everything i possibly could and bargain with my uncle to train me in martial arts i even began an influencer Career i did it all my name soon was known and since everyone back home thought i died it was perfect.
Soon i was doing music which I loved i guess it's the only thing that hasn't changed about me but eventually i was offered a scholarship to Bridgham Academy.
The school i once attended i exhale staring down at the paper in my hand when my uncle Micki came in and saw me, He came over and glimpse the paper as he took it from my grasp i look up on him.
“Are you sure you want to do this? Because if you do there's no going back you understand me, Mina?”.
I got up from my seat behind the desk heading through the door he looked as I left i head downstairs getting my car keys and getting inside my car i drove off through the gates my uncle looked through my room window at me leaving, he sighs taking another look at the paper.
Knowing that this will not end well, and it will make someone hurt more than others, On the road i needed to clear my head receiving that letter brought back emotions and memories that i push so far down you believe they were dead just re-surface back.
I stopped outside my favorite cafe and took out my cap and glasses putting them on I opened the door getting out as I close it and turn to face the place i went in and sat at the counter where my friend Misty a waitress there slides my favorite drink to me i catch it as she smirks coming over to me.
“What’s on your mind? And don't think lying will help”.
I sigh and run my fingers on the top of the cup lining as a sigh escapes my lips.
“You remember i registered for Bridgham Academy?”. Misty nods “Well i got in i received their letter today and i just needed a clear head”.
Misty held onto my hand as she smiles in concern and then went back to work i left the tip and cash under the cup leaving i got in my car and drove off heading back home driving up i saw my parent's car i sighed and rolls my eyes getting out of my car.
Heading inside to see them and Uncle Mikki in the living room i step in looking at them as my mother came over to hug me then my father as they went back to sit i came in as well.
“So, sweetheart how are you feeling much better right?”. I looked at them both.
“Mom, Dad why are you guys here? The last i checked you visited me last month what's wrong now?”.
They looked at me when my uncle interrupts us.
“May I, well okay so brother sister-in-law my precious niece has some news she would like to share aren't you, Mina?”.
I looked at him in betrayal as i looked back at my parents.
“Well if you should know mom dad i applied for Bridgham Academy and received an acceptance letter today which means i am going back to Bridgham the place i died, also none of you can stop me no matter how much you love me”.
I walked away leaving them in the living room and went upstairs to my room as my father was coming after me Mikki stopped him.
“Brother i know but believe me i tried talking to her about this revenge plan but she wouldn't listen not even to me”.
He looked at him as i on the other hand was quite ecstatic to see people who i thought loved me for me but it's such a pity they didn't because it's better they did.
After fussing and arguing my parents saw that there was no way of stopping me, so they agreed only if am careful. I nod as i saw them off i came back in and walked up to my uncle looking at him,
“You ratted me out to my parents that was low dude even for you and i thought we agreed to my plan why are you hesitant now?”.
He looked at me and walked off i exhaled calming myself as i finished packing up my bags after i took a shower and got dressed for bed lying in bed all the memories came flashing back as i stare up in the ceiling all i feel is darkness, hatred, and rage.
