"...beep beep bEEP BEEP BEEP"
You hear your alarm clock go off.
"...BEEP BEEP BEEP BE--"
Pressing snooze, you slowly open your eyes. You see the familiar poster of your favorite boy band, one edge hanging from the ceiling.
You get up and check your computer. Nobody can live without Social Media, right? You talk to your friends a bit (which you have a lot of, considering it is the internet). They are always so nice to you. What would you do without them?
You grab your phone, just as a normal teenage American girl would. You see that your text messaging system has blown up (not literally).
Jake Howell always texts you, so you assume it's him.

"Meet me at the park. Now."
You don't recognize the number.
Who is this? The area code isn't familiar.

"Wake up. We need you."
Someone...needs me? you think. All your life you always thought you were a pile of junk. You get bullied every day. You always try to fit in. You only have a few friends that care for you and are just like you. When you try to make new friends you always make a fool out of yourself. You have short, blonde hair and your name is Natalie Joyce.
Little do you know that today your life was going to change.
Forever.
