     Fred was walking home from school really upset because someone took his book and his car broke. He continued walking with his head down and with booming headphones he doesn't seem to care now because any minute he will finally be home. While scrolling through his phone something caught his eye. A gem, a black gem that was shaped into a weird figure. He picked it up and head home.

     Arriving home he saw his mother reading the latest issue of 2030 End Magazine. "How weird things are nowadays" he thought. "Hey mom I'm home" he said, running up the stairs and locking himself not minding his mothers reply. He put his bag on his bed and immediately took the gem but the gem was missing. He searched his pockets, and his bag but nothing. He sat down stressed of the weird things that happened. First, his car broke but it just got fixed the day before, Second, the gem and lastly, his mother reading the magazine she hates the most. He heard his stomach growl and head downstairs to get something to eat. He took a bottle of juice and pour himself a glass of it and took the bag of cheetos when he realized his mom is no longer sitting on the couch. He sat on it then turnd on the tv. Crazy news everywhere, like a crazy man saying that next month will be the downfall of humanity, a weird fire twirling in the forest. While watching he took a glimpse of the magazine featuring aliens, the planets and the weird thing discovered by scientists not far away from the earth. He was curious of why these things are happening. He finish his food and scanned the said magazine. "Gems from above" he reads. Then it hit him, what if that gem costs thousands of dollars. He scanned and scanned then there it is the gem he found on his way home. It says that the gem is from a planet the same as earth but no one had ever been there. No one dared to go there. 
The last sentence caught his attention, that based from the beliefs of the natives the gem are miraculously appearing when there is a sign of hope. Hope, he repeated inside his head.

     "So you decided to come here" he was shocked when someone tap his shoulder. "Oh! Hey mom you scared the crap out of me" he said.  "Watch your mouth little chicken" her mother laughed. "By the way I saw this weird rock on the stairs, Is this from your rock collection? I didn't know you like rocks, what's with the sudden change?" Caty said, trying to her best to tease her son. She was holding the rock like a pendulum moving it from side to side. "Stop mom! I'm not a weirdo, but that's from school and I need to make a report based on that rock so can you give it to me?" He lied. "Here you go" Caty said while tossing the rock towards his son. "Ohh Fred where's the car? You didn't let your friend borrowed it right?" Caty shouted from the kitchen. "Oh shit"

     "Mom....... i have to tell you something, the car broke when I was heading home 2 streets away from us so..." He wasn't able to finish when caty shouted. "Oh my Fred!! It was just got fixed like what? Yesterday? Okay that's it you are not using the car anymore, go clean your bike because from now on it will be your buddy" Caty said. "But mo.." "No buts chicken go to your room and finish your homework you'll be graduating soon so work hard" caty dismissed. Fred head to his room with the gem in his hand. "What a beautiful day it is" he mumbled.
