               The birds chirp and fly high as the sun shining on their feathers to make a beautiful rainbow colour.  My tiny fuzzy white companion trotted along my side and makes a soft meow sound while she nudges her head against my leg. I look down and smile at her, letting her know that she can hop up on my shoulder if she gets tired. We walk in the vibrant green grass to find a clear blue pond to drink from. As I take a sip I notice that the water is a bit sweet, but it  is also very refreshing. My fuzzy kitten, Bells, leaps into the pond and jumps around in it to cool herself off.  I decide to put my feet in the pond and splash the water on her and we-----

ISLA IF YOU DON'T GET DOWNSTAIRS IN 5.2 SECONDS I SWEAR I WILL CUT EVERY INCH OF YOUR HAIR OFF!!! 

I wake up and realise that I'm in reality now. When I'm in reality I have responsibilities and responsibilities aren't fun. "Alright, I'm coming just gimme a minute." I reply feeling a little groggy.

 I'm Isla Rhodes . A 16 years old and a Junior in Redwood Private High School and as you can see from the name, it's a private school. I'm the second most popular girl in my school, but the first is this girl named Alana McKnight.  She's only a sophomore, but she has everybody under her little spell. Of course, before she transferred to my school I was the most popular girl and I wasn't mean unlike a certain sophomore.  I hate going to school now because of her since she always seems to enjoy bullying me and my "so-called-friends" join her. I don't get depressed from it because I have a secret to finding happiness, but I can't tell you that yet. 

I sprint to the bathroom, washed my face, brushed my teeth, put on some clothes, and brush my annoying, black, wavy hair.  I jogged downstairs just to hear my mom and sister yell at me about being late. I just ignored them and ate a huge bowl of Frosted Flakes because that's my favorite cereal and I was really really hungry. My mom nagged on and on about not being proper and eating a normal breakfast, but I wasn't worried about that. I said my goodbyes to my mother and my sister and ran to go catch the bus.

The bus was 1 mile away from my house already waiting for me since the bus driver, James, already knew that I'm usually a little late so he tends to wait on me. When I got on the bus everyone buzzed with excitement about my 15th birthday party coming up in a couple of weeks. Nobody knew the venue or anything yet because I wanted it all to be a secret so, I told everyone I invited to meet me 2 miles from the actual venue.  Everyone constantly bombarded me with questions left and right and all I could do was put in my earbuds and play some of the songs that I downloaded on my phone. We got to the school 20 mins later and when I got off of the bus everyone ran to the gate of the school. I walked to the gate wondering if there was an accident by the gate, but instead there was a really tall, handsome, and light coloured boy with dark black hair and mesmerising sky blue eyes. He wore some grey jeans, a plain black T-shirt, and a pair of black and grey Jordans. His whole appearance screamed "I may look good, but don't get close to me because I'm bad news." I trusted my instincts and walked away immediately, trying to avoid looking at him for too long. I looked at my phone and saw that it was almost time for class to start......I NEEDED TO RUN HOLY SH***!!!!!

I darted through the crowded hallways hoping to make it to my class on time, but my best friend Adonis stopped me in my tracks. "What's the rush hazel nut?" he asked. "I told you to stop calling me that! And I'm trying to get to class on time, but thanks to you I'll be late," I replied feeling a little irritable. "You don't have to always be a goody goody, why don't you have a little thrill in your life? You're the most popular girl in the school. Nobody will believe how dorky you actually are." "Second most popular," I corrected him, "And if people think that because I'm a little dorky that I can't be popular then oh well." "Whatever you say hazel nut, oh! looks like the bell rang, gotta blast!" He said while he winked and walked away. Sometimes I can't stand how much of an idiot he is. 

I tried to sneak into the classroom without being noticed by the teacher, but that didn't really work out as planned. "Miss Rhodes if you plan on coming in late from now on you should at least learn how to sneak into the classroom better." Mrs. Calpurnia said while snickering. The whole class giggled, but I didn't care, I just sat down and Mrs. Calpurnia started teaching. Ahh this is so easy. Learning about Shakespeare again just like every year.  I zoned out when the teacher started to talk about the history of Shakespeare. 

The grass tickled my toes lightly as I walked through the meadow with Bells, who sneezed from all of the pollen from the flowers. From a distance I saw a figure....a male figure. He looked like a pretty tall man and as I got closer I saw that he was dressed in royal clothing. "See Bells, my prince charming finally came for me just like I said."  She gave a small meow as a reply. I started to run towards the man in the royal clothing and the closer that I got the more menacing that he looked. I stopped running and slowly started backing away....this isn't how my world is supposed to be like....something is wrong. He came closer to me and drew his sword from his sheath. I started to run fast, faster, faster, and even faster, but I wasn't fast enough he caught up to me with ease and cut my foot off. "AGGHHHHHHH!" I screamed in pain. There was blood....a lot of it. I needed to find a place to hide and stop the bleeding. He walked up to me and pointed his sword towards my head and right behind him I saw a girl, about my age.....wha?
