Dedicated to my sister, since she helped me find the actors and actresses. :D

"what!? Your're name is Emerald?" Penny squeaked in an irritating way. "you never told me!" she squealed indignantly.

I rolled my eyes. What's so great in having emerald for a name? "I seriously didn't think it would be important. It's just a name" I told her.

"hello? Emerald is like the most awesome name I've ever heard in my life!" she said in a duh tone.

Yeah right.

She banged the cafeteria table hard and leaned closer to me causing a few people to stare.  

"why didn't you tell me?" she asked again looking pissed.

"you never told me your name was Freda." I told her defensively.

Penny looked like she was about to throw up. "that name is now officially NOT mine." she said in disgust.

" I hate that name." she shuddered.

" I noticed." I told her sarcastically. "it isn't that ba-" I was cut off by a suddenly tap on my head.

I heard the familiar snigger and felt like turning into a super ninja and killing everyone off the face of the earth.

"hey anna... Or should I say hey belle?" Percy greeted me a stupid smirk on his face.

"it's Annabelle idiot." I said not look at him as he sat down next to me.

Percy is penny's brother. He too, was very particular about names. He was actually named Lenny, rhyming with penny. He (obviously) hated that and so he begged his parents to change it to percy.

The only reason up they agreed is because it had 'p' like in penny's name.  

I'm glad my parents aren't like that.

"so, whatcha doin?" he asked me while chewing his ham sandwhich. He slurped some soda making the noise I hate the most. I rolled my eyes and got up without saying another word and went somewhere else where nobody could see me.

..................

I opened my front door and walked in throwing my bag on the couch and going upstairs to my room. I changed from my green shirt and black skinny jeans to a plain white shirt and dark denim shorts.

Oh I love that combination.

I walked down towards the kitchen and opened the fridge. I sat there's and stayed in front of the cool air coming out. I hope I'm not the only one who does this on a hot day.

I looked at apple juice and litchi juice cartons and tried to decide which one to drink. I took litchi, since I've had apple juice for more than 2 days.

I gulped down the cool, sweet liquid in my mouth and put the carton back in the fridge. I walked outside towards my garden I am so proud of.

I sat on the soft grass in the shade an lay down.

I spotted a little daisy in a pot. "I see you finally decided to come up." I told it softly.

"I take my time" it told me in my head. I laughed and smiled at it's small white petals.  

I turned my head towards the tulips and roses and grinned. "hey emerald!" a yellow tulip greeted me. Behind her was another yellow tulip.

I got up and bent on my knees and stroked it gently. "well, you're new." I told it.

A slight pink spread across its petals and it moved about a millimetre behind another tulip.

Aww, it's shy. "hello" a small voice entered my head. My grin widened.

"penny's going to wonder why a tulips have pink and half yellow" I laughed.

The pink just darkened and I heard a faint giggle.

" how was school?" jean, a red rose asked me. She was the oldest and the most beautiful rose in the whole garden, and was used to everyone's attention. I don't think she liked it that I gave so much attention to a mere tulip.

I sat down on the grass again hugging my knees. "boring, as usual." I sighed.

There were 'ohs' and 'yeahs' from a couple of flowers. I rolled my eyes. Why is everyday the same?

I went inside my room a few minutes after since everyone seemed to want to sleep for their afternoon nap. I dragged my bean bag in front of the mirror and sat on it, looking at myself.

What do I call myself? Alien? I'm pretty sure not everyone can talk to plants like me. I put my elbows in my knees and rested my chin in my palm and looked closer at myself.

I like it this way. I love the fact that I'm different than others. It's a nice feeling. I looked into my eyes that were an olive green.

So should I tell anyone? I ask myself this every day, it's getting irritating.

No, you idiot you shouldn't. People will think you are weird and will dump you in a mental institute. Which you dont't want.

"Annie!" Jenna called me from downstairs. "up here" I yelled back.

Jenna is my cousin I live with, since I couldn't live with my mom. I was a really late child and so I can't stay with mom who is 76 now, who is happily living in her retirement home. Whatever.

Jenna was happy for me to stay with her since her excuse was 'she got lonely' or something. I don't know the real explaination and have no desire to know it. I just don't care.

I got up from the bean bag and neatly put it back in it's place by the window. I can't handle a messy envirement, especially when I'm living in it everyday.

I heard a thumping sound as Jenna came towards my room. I quickly sat on my table and opened the laptop, acting like I was using it.

She opened the door and looked at me. "whatcha doing? She said while chewing a sandwich.

"nothing, just checking Facebook" I told her. She leaned against the door and smiled slyly liked she new some big secret.

"talking to your boyfriend?" she said.

"no!" I Siam hitting my head with my palm.  

"I am-" I was cut off by the door bell.

Jenna and me exchanged confused looks. Who the heck has come now?

Jenna went down to open it and I followed her curiously.

She opened the door andante made a face. I quickly went towards the door and looked at the person that stood at the door way.

What the fuck is happening?
