Verr

Frost

At first, it was simple. Life was sweet and I thought of days that were never-ending. Earth was beautiful, It had fresh air and food for days.  I guess I never thought that it would come to an end.

It was time for a new year, school had started two months ago. And here I was becoming a senior and wondering where the time had gone. Walking through the halls I was never scared, people were not violent or needy. 'Class of 2103' was all over the hall walls, technology had passed its limit, we had so much technology for anything and everything. My grandparents used to say that once there was real food that you could eat, and water that was real. I guess it made sense, our world had shrunk, from big to small. America at the time was 7 billion and growing during my grandparents' age, in 2103 it is 12.4 billion and growing. I approach my friends and they show off their new hand-grams, which is little devices inside your hand that are hologram MePhones.

"Lily, have you decided to ditch your ugly Lors bag, hm, doesn't change you anyways loser." Poly says as she shrugs me and my friends aside with her posse. Poly always had issues with me, she never understood what it was like to be an average Earthian. Poly was from Mars, at first it was hard for our world to cope with planet-racism. When they came to Earth there was many fights and a lot of people died. It was hard for our grandparents' they never thought people were on other planets. But there were, they looked different and acted differently but they weren't. They were oddly normal, they didn't breathe so they didn't have noses, they ate hydrogen and helium from natural gases in space, so they had mouths and teeth like normal people. Their skin had no pigment so they were light and could actually blend into sand. Poly was a mars mutt, her dad was human but her mom wasn't. She was so mean, it was mostly because she lost her parents young to a terrible gravity crash, while flying they crashed into a meteor while hologramming on their mephone. It's common for people to get into such crashes, it was just hard because she was on the phone with them when they died, so she saw everything. 

"Hey!" I look around to see my UB, which stands for United boyfriend. His name was Charlie and we were united, it sounds funny but it's what people did when they had kids. Parents would meet up with other parents they liked and basically matched them young, doing this not only would give their kids future husbands/wives but, as time goes on the kids make money throughout their lives until they are 18, if the parents decide not to do this the kid doesn't make money or have a united marriage. Charlie, he was my best friend, and I loved him that way.. Not in the way he liked me. 

"Oh my gosh, Hey! I missed you!" I say smiling and throwing myself into his arms

"Hey, I missed you too." He says brushing my hair to the side and looking deeply into his blue eyes

"Ew, god Lily get some respect! Some of us didn't get a decent looking UB" My friend Naomi says interrupting us. Me and Charlie ignore her and start walking to our 'spot'. 

Ah.. Our 'spot', it was a big tree behind our school it was genetically modified as a seed, so it had the purest bark and the most translucent leafs. 

"I've been thinking about you all day, I wanted you to know that last friday, I was a jerk. But I can't do this to you, I'm going to marry you one day and obviously your the only girl in this world for me, or any world in the galaxy." Charlie says to me while looking at me. Last friday was a bad day because Charlie decided he didn't want to be with me, he said he was going to sign the unity papers. I cried all day, and I knew it was because of Normady, she was the prettiest girl in school, and they've been talking lately. Me and Charlie, he always loved me and I knew it but it was probably the Xuro, I just never felt the same about him. He says and does a lot of stuff but sometimes I just have to ignore it. I also knew in the back of my mind that he was to soft for me. As much as I like the mushy gushy love stuff, I don't like to be treated this way, but its over and then I'll be done with him and have my money. It sounds terrible, but I will not marry him, because our love isn't true, I know he likes Normandy, and I'll never be her and I'll never like Charlie like every other girl in this school does. She has long flowy dark red hair and the whitest skin from being half utopian, she was basically every guys dream.
