Alice Smith was leaving behind the sunny skies of America to start a new hopeful life in England. She was planning to go to a new school, meet new friends and make her family and America proud. When she gets the invitation to join the school gardening club, she decided to give it a shot to see if was her thing or not. That was when she came face to face with the most manipulative (and the hottest) girl in the school; Emilia Campbell. Soon after that, she found herself tangled in a web of blackmail and lies, with no mean of escape. Then when one prank escalates too far, Alice begins to wonder if moving to England was a good idea after all...

It was a bleak evening on the 14th of June. The air was cold and caliginous, almost as if it could suspect the misery and gloom that lingered over the Jacobs. It was a sombre affair that evening for all of them.
Each one of them sat down at the kitchen table, scared to meet each other's eyes or even utter a single word.

Her usual seat at the dining table lay vacant and deserted. Nobody had the confidence to even look at it.
None of them wanted to truly believe that she was dead.

Within minutes, Alice was squashed into the back of a Taxi, sat beside her Dad. The streets of London rolled past the car window in a mere few minutes. Alice knew that it could be one of her final times seeing London.Whenever she felt like crying, she pushed her emotions firmly downwards imaging her dream life in Sheffield. Her fingers sought the comfort of her red polka dot bag and the dandelion bracelet dangling loosely around her wrist.

Saying goodbye was never one of Alice's strengths.She hated saying goodbye. It was usually her final words to somebody when she knew she never would see that person again. It was the last word she said to her mum, the last word she ever said to her old school, the last word she ever said to her dead Grandpa...Alice lay across her bed, glancing around her empty room.
"What?""It's in Sheffield." Mr Smith repeated, sighing heavily, "Alice, it's such a big opportunity for me-""Does that mean we're moving?" Alice butted in, ignoring her Dad. He gave her a grim nod."It's for the best, dear. After wh
As the day dragged on, Alice was used to the funny looks and dirty glares. She got them everywhere. In the corridors, in classes, at lunch, on the bus...To Alice, she did her best to push them out of her mind. Friday's concert was such a massive knock and left her feeling so broken that the glares were almost nothing. Compared to what she really felt on stage, she knew that this wasn't as bad.She felt a great deal better, knowing that her friends stuck by her side. They comforte
