It was a clear and starry night. I was laying on my backyards soft grass gazing up at the endless black sky. The stars small white beacons light years away. I let out a sigh, wishing days, er, nights like this would last forever, but all good things have an end.
Tomorrow was the start of my sophmore year at Eaglesky High School. Nights full of stressful homework, drama with overeactive teenagers, great. Its going to be just like last year I thought bitterly. Shuddering at the memory of my freshman year. "It doesn't matter if summer lasts forever, your always gonna be "Saren the Freak" in those kids minds." I muttered to myself.
I glanced back at my house, it was pitch black, good I have at least an hour. I looked up again at the stars,beautiful. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw something strange, a star but it seemed to be moving, closer... I rubbed my eyes, even pinched myself a few times. That little drop of light was still gradually coming... It was close, and heading straight for me! I let out a shriek , then everything went dark.
A FEW HOURS LATER
I blinked open my eyes. My whole body felt heavy. I sat up a little too quickly and an exploding headache cascaded through my skull. I thought back to the star, it must've been a dream, ya, thats right, i fell asleep. Nothing more. I tensed my hands into fists, I felt something hard in my left palm, small and hard.I lookeddown and gasped. In my hand was a small, clear, crystal, carved in an elegant, jagged tear shape. I could feel something about the stone, I... can't explain it. But one thing is for sure, this crystal from a star or not, was staying with me.
