How We Came Together

Chapter 1: A new group is made

It was a bright Saturday morning in the city of Melbourne. The birds, woken up by the warmth of the sun. Unbeknown to this pair however the love and the difficulty it would bring. Hannah Lo, are dazzlingly beautiful teenage girl of 15 years, the envy of all others. Her naturally dark shimmering hair, tipped slightly golden like rays of sunshine. Her skin so delicately smooth and kissed by the summer sun. Her teeth as white as winter snow and with a smile that would melt anyone's heart. She was by no means a super genius but what little she lacked in academic school she made up for with her comforting personality. It was 9:00am and Hannah was just starting to get out of bed. She walks over to the edge of her room to open the window. She leans slightly outside to feel the cool summer breeze and hear the sweet melodies of the birds outside. As she enjoys the bliss of the morning she hears a somewhat unexpected voice condescending her habits "Well well well, nice of u to join the world of the living princess."

"Ali could you not? Just cause u wake up with the birds. Now where are u?" Suddenly the friend known as Ali appeared outside Hannah's window, hanging upside down from a tree with an apple in his hand. "Still...don't you think 9 o'clock is a little late?" he asked while he continued to hang upside down and eat his apple. "It's Saturday though. No one wakes up early on a Saturday."

"Fair enough you have a point. Anyway I'm just gonna...hang~...see what I did there, hehe memes. Anyway I'll just hang here for a bit. Meet me outside after you've had breakfast and what not. I want you to meet some people." Ali was one of Hannah's older friends. 18 years old and in his first year of university. He was a slightly dark and portly fellow. He had untameable curly hair almost to the point of an aphro and despite being only 18 had a beard to match his hair. He was always a strange one, very quirky and always making edgy remarks that would get most people in trouble. He was a loveable person overall however and nothing he ever said or did was ever meant to harm anyone. "Eeeh. You sure you want to do that?" Hannah squeaked out in an uncomfortable manner. Ali chuckled and replied, "Aha I'm sorry you're so adorable sometimes. Why not though? There cool people they don't bite, unlike me. Hehe."

"Meeh. I'm still scared, what if they don't like me and are mean to me?"

"Trust me they won't. They are genuinely lovely people. If they do anything to upset you I promise I'll straighten it all out. You trust me right?" Hannah nodded in reply however she still seemed quite worried. Her lips closed tight and her head down and her eyes lowered. Ali, while still hanging upside down from the tree, brushed aside the hair that had started to cover her face. He tucked it behind her ears and said, "That's the spirit. Don't worry. It will be fun." And thus Hannah had her breakfast and got herself dressed to meet Ali's other friends. Little did she know though that one of them would soon be the one she would call her love.

It was now 11 o'clock and Hannah was ready to go meet Ali's other friends. As she walked out of her house, her heart began to race. She was incredibly nervous at the prospect of meeting Ali's friends and what they might think of her. As she walked out she began to wonder were Ali might have gone. It had been two hours since he was outside her room and there's was little chance in her mind that Ali would have stuck around waiting for her. Suddenly something slammed into the floor right in front of her. She fell to the floor in fright. Her heart rate skyrocketing, her eyes closed afraid of what just happened. As she opened them she saw that it was merely Ali who had fallen out of the tree. Ali slowly got up, gave Hannah a helping hand and laughed "Ahah sorry if I scared you. Here let me help you up. You ok?"

"Yeah yeah I'm fine, I'm ok but what about you? You just fell from a two story tall tree. You landed flat on your back. You really shouldn't be moving at all." Ali merely laughed at her concern and replied "Please. This is nothing I'm fine. I've been through much worse don't even worry about me. Now enough of this useless worrying and lets go. I'm sure you're gonna love my friends."
