I get out of the car and look at the huge sign above the school: Tristar Prep Academy. Today will be the end and the beginning of my life and I was hesitant about it. In the front lawn, kids were milling around and saying their goodbyes. I head toward the library to say my last goodbye to the librarian. I know what you're thinking. That I'm a huge nerd and perhaps you're right. When I get to the door of the library, I instantly feel the calmness and the peacefulness in the air. Ms. Tucker looks up from her desk and smiles.
"Good mourning Ms.Tucker, " I say.
Good morning Lily," she says.
"I just want to say my last goodbyes before graduation," I say as I head toward her desk and give her a hug.
"Oh dear, I enjoyed every minute of you here. I'm going to miss you so much!!!!!
" Me too."
I feel tears coming down and I wipe them away quickly. Ms. Tucker was the only one in the entire school who understood me. She was a widow and didn't have any children, so she always considered me as her granddaughter and I treated her like my grandma. Now that I was graduating, I wouldn't be seeing her as often as I wanted too. I hugged her one more time and left, tears coming down heavily.

All the seniors were to report to the multi-purpose room to get ready for graduation. I headed there and was not surprised when a crowd full of seniors covered the whole MPR. Yep this was normal alright. The graduation ceremony took longer than expected. The principal said her speech, which she said every year at graduation. I rolled my eyes when she said that she was glad she could experience the 4 years of high school with us. The principal was far from social.
Pretty soon, the graduation ceremony ended and I started to walk home. I was so glad that I went unnoticed when the principal said my name. I tucked my hair behind my hair. Well that was done. I was officially out of high school. 4 years of torture were over.
I walked around town not wanting to go back home. The 2 maids were not expecting me till 4:00 and I had plenty of time to browse through the shops downtown. I took a bus - I know what your thinking, why would I take a bus when I have all the money in the world. Well, since I was young I've learned a few things. How money can't buy you everything- happiness and love can't be bought with money. So I made it my life goal to live without money- as much as possible.
20 minutes later, I arrived in downtown San Francisco. I smiled to myself and started hiking  up the long windy streets of San Francisco. I spotted my all time favorite bookshop/ cafe- Sugar and started to open the door, when I got knocked over by something or someone. The sudden force caused me to fall to the ground.
"Ouch," I cried as I hit the ground.
I looked up to see a guy with green eyes, dressed in all black.
