Chapter 1- About time to be a senior.. 

   This was the very last day of the summer holiday in Charlotte town. It was a beautiful town with warm sweet weather in summer nonetheless, in winter all this changed to be the exact opposite; icy weather and artificial snow along more or less. Other than that, climate changes during autumn and spring weren't of a large extent to be realized!

   Charlotte town viewed on a rare magnificent lake, where people usually went to enjoy it's stunning beauty or to attend celeb parties; which were held in Christmas, Halloween or The National day. Actually, the lake was the only place for Charlotte's elder citizens could hang around in their leisure time, besides the mall.

   This called to be Charlotte town; and yes it was the last inhibited town in the Antarctica, was the most powerful town. The technology which it possessed not another town had. The lake; that was indicated formerly, was only a virtually moving image thanks to technology. They had even succeeded in bringing robots from Earth moreover, editing and advancing their version to be sufficient under the new circumstances.

   Having all this power in the hand, would've lead Charlotte town citizens to relax their butts and don't work for years as result of having slaves; robots, ordered to obey only and never argue. Yet, owing to the intelligent brains, they thought it better to business what they had for the intimate need; and only.

   A thing which meant that, robot's role in their life was limited. Robots were used in works like heating, fishing, and protecting the town. However, some rich families bought a robot or two for Babylonian-luxury and self-pleasure; taking care of young children, keeping the household….etc.

   All through the town you could see scholars in the streets making their last night unforgettable in different means; hanging around in the mall, playing hockey or even just walk till late hours then sleepover. The last day and especially the last hours of darkness was the most precious for the scholars as it would help easing the long boring schooldays upon them.

   Between all the families that had teenagers, only one teenager didn't leave home that night; actually never had at all!                                                                                     

     Well, that teenager was Cordellia—what an old name!

   Cordellia was a tall skinny girl with a grey-like skin, she had wide hazel colored eyes, and lovely brown hair—that  made her real grey skin color appear even more. Every single thing of her would look badly awful alone,  but when they all come together they made a beautiful delicate Cordellia.

   Yet, Cordellia wasn't ordinary some way, she wasn't like any other girl. That doesn't mean that she is kind of oaf or supernatural nevertheless, she was pretty good at lots of things—art, poetry and music,  but no one ever let her show it. She was only criticized anywhere she goes. Maybe that was because of her shyness or intolerance!!                                    

   Even at school no one seemed to like her since they call her names.  She usually does her work at school perfectly—all teachers find her a good pupil. But still, Cordellia talked and dressed as if she came from a different age!                                                                                                                  

    Both of her parents; Fiona and Joe, did all their best to make her mix with others but they always failed. They  have  moved  for  lots  and  lots  of  times  but  she  never  improved  her way with humans; boys or girls.
