Right now, I'm in a land full of wonder. It looks like a foreign world, but it's very peaceful. As old now, I'm walking and taking in the atmosphere. I advance more into it, and I see that it's like our world, except the sky is purple, and the tree leaves are blue. The air smells like vanilla, and the energy is very different then our world. I keep waking through, just taking everything in. One might be scared, but for me however, it's not scary, it's peaceful, very peace-
BEEP.
I hear my alarm go off, pulling me from my amazing sweet dream and my blissful sleep. I growl with annoyance as I slam my hand on the off button and stretch. I get out of bed and sigh as I begin my morning routine. For reference, I'm a junior in high school. It seams so great, but it really isn't. I'm loaded with homework, have to worry about the SAT, and I barely have any friends. I throw on my (outfit of choice) and run out the door to school.
*timeskip to when you get to school*
I sigh again as I go to my locker, throwing my jacket into it and shutting the door shut. I have to really put effort into closing it, and after it shuts I start walking to first period. As I try to enter, a girl named Cheryl blocks my way. "Oh why if it isn't Mrs. No Friends Y/N. No wonder your always alone, look at yourself!" She exclaims, clearly proud of the little show she's putting on. Well, it's amusing for the people walking by, but not for me. "'Move Cheryl, I'm trying to learn unlike you" I state, clearly annoyed with her antics, then walk past her. I slump into my desk, and listen to the science lecture about biology and the cell. I just can't wait to get out of here....
*timeskip to the end of the school day*
Finally, schools over and I can't say I'm not thrilled to leave. As I try and leave, I see Cheryl and her group of friends whispering and staring at me, then laughing. Whatever, I'm just eager to leave, anything's better then this shithole school. I run to the bus stop and eagerly get on the bus. I put in my earbud and listen to (choice of music). I start jamming out to the music mentally, I love this song and it immediately makes me feel better. That is, until I get in my own thoughts. 'I hate Cheryl so much. And today was so average...' I sigh, when will I escape this boring life
of mine? Eventually the bus stops infront of my house, and I get off, eager to leave. I unlock the door and step inside, alone. My parents work all the time and go away on buisness trips, which results in me alone. It sucks, but it's whatever. I throw my backpack down and put make some (favorite food). Seems like a pretty suitable after school snack to me, I mean who doesn't like it? After I do that, I with my snack in hand, I take out my phone and look around for what to watch. There's nothing good on Netflix, just the same old mediocre series and old movies. I decide to watch one of my favorite movies, West Side Story.

I feel cheerful as I get up and walk up the stairs to go to my room. The cheerful music of the Jets singing always puts me in a good mood. Even though the end of the movie does get me a bit sad to, I'm cheerful because this movie is like an escape from reality for me. I'm really excited to watch this movie, it never gets old for me. I open the door, but I don't see my room. Instead, a bright light blinds my eyes. 'What the fuck!!' I think fearfully, and all of a sudden that light swallows me. All I can see is that bright light all around me, it's very blinding. I feel like I'm floating, and I feel like I'm moving, however I'm not moving myself. I only feel this for a couple of seconds however, then everything fades into black.

*timeskip*
I feel some pain in my back as I get up. 'Fuck that hurts!' As I take in my surroundings, I realize I'm no longer in my room. I'm on the side of a dirty street, and it looks to be about evening time. I rub my eyes and get up. 'Where the fuck am I!?' I look around and it seems to be I'm in an alleyway. A sketchy alleyway. I realize there's a guy watching me. I jump as I see him, and he chuckles. "Look who's finally awake." He says with a slight annoyance, but also amusement  in his voice. "You do realize your in Jets Territory don't ya? What makes you think you can pass out in our territory." His annoyance seems to fade away and is replaced with a more playful town as he says this. I feel my jaw drop, almost like it dropped to the floor. I stare at him in shock, he takes this as confusion however. "You don't know who I am? I'm Riff, leader of the Jets!" He says with confidence. My shock now replaced with an even bigger shock and confusion then before...am I in West Side Story?
