Chapter 1

I sit there playing with my watch. My room is dull, like a dungeon or a jail cell. White walls, white floor, white bedding, white everything. White is not a very good color, especially for me. I am the most clumsiest person in my family. My family consists of my mother,father,and younger brother;which is required by the government. Things have changed over the years. We all have parents, we just don't know who our biological ones are. When we are born we don't go home with our families. We get separated. A couple gets pregnant and has to give up their oldest child. I was the oldest one. My birth name is Emily May Renzo. But the name my adoptive parents gave me is Em Kennish. I still have the same middle name though. My brother Greg was adopted too. My adoptive parents could not have kids, so they got lucky.
The whole point of the watch is to find out who we are. Your watch tracks when you eat,sleep,and everything about you. One of the most important things is your countdown. that is when you will meet your match. But I don't have a countdown. and my dad calls me glitch because of this. We have went to the government about this several times, but they have done nothing about this. They say that "We can't fix your watch. You only get one in your life time. The one you get is yours, and you can't change that.'' My dad and mom get so infuriated. But there is nothing that they can do. They just can't accept that.
      Another thing the watch dose is let us in and out of places, like a badge almost. Kids have blue scanners on their doors and adults have red scanners on their door. Kids can get into each other's rooms but not the adults room. The adults,on the other hand, can get into any room, no matter if it's locked or not.
My watch buzzes, letting me know that it's time for dinner. I walk up to my door and scan my watch. "Oh I was just coming to get you," my mother says. "Go get your brother. He probably didn't hear his watch." I walk to his room and unlock the door. "EM!" He screams, "GET OUT!" "It's time for dinner. And if mom and dad saw your room, they would kill you. So would the government." I say back. "Just go. I'll be out in a minute." I shut his door and walk away.
"Hey Glitch," my dad says. "Where is your brother?" "He's coming" I say back. My dad is reading a newspaper. They are one of the most oldest forms of the news. Now they come on everyday at 5. My dad is a historian. He studies how people lived and acted back in the 2000's which is a very long time ago. My brother walks out of his room and goes to the kitchen to help mom dish out food. Sit down at the table next to my dad. My mom and brother come out with the plates and sit them down in front of our spots. "You excited for career day?" She asks while she sits down. "Yeah" I say back. I start to eat. It's quiet for a while"What kind of career are you looking for, Glitch?" My dad says. "Music. Maybe teaching or med." I say back. I finish eating and collect all of the plates. I rinse them and put them in the dishwasher. "I'm gonna clock in for the night" I yell to my family. "Are you ok?" My mom asks. "Yeah. Just a little tired. " I say back. "Ok. Love you. Good night." "Night Glitch." My dad says. "Night" I walk to my room and clock in by scanning my watch on my scanner. I lay down on my bed and my phone buzzes.
