1.2 The End Of A Beginning?

Crystal's life is going well; she has a job, and a promotion expected to be given that very night. A house, although not very appetizing to the eyes, did its job. A crush named Gunther (Goth), and a great best friend, Jared (Frio).


Because the new dive bar around the block is still in the construction stage, Crystal spends most days in the park. Grabbing some free lunch or breakfast whenever possible.

1.1 Sunset Valley: A New Beginning

PROLOGUE

Eighteen winters ago, a baby girl in a beige-brown wicker basket was found outside the Department of Health. Her name was Crystal Myers. Crystal lived in the Home For Good Orphanage until she was five...On her fifth birthday, there was a wonderful, unexpected surprise, perhaps the best present she'll ever have. It was a beautiful spring morning when a philanthropist named Flora came to visit the orphanage. Crystal's childish cuteness had Flora's heart melted. Ms. Mary, the orphanage's manager was glad to see Flora visit, for it meant that that day a huge donation would be made to the Home For Good Orphanage, and that was good. Very good indeed. What Ms. Mary didn't know was that apart from being a philanthropist, Flora was also a member of the board of the School of Peace And Love. Flora offered Crystal a scholarship to the school, but of course, that is only if Ms. Mary agreed to Crystal going to the school. Luckily, she did. Crystal stayed at the school until the day she graduated.
