*What was that thing again?*

So today is December 21, 2013. I'm exactly eleven years old. Here I was in my room surrounded by varieties of telescopes. Like, last Christmas I got the Super Star 3000 and a table graph to do some math. I looked through my telescope and looked at the star. I finally decided to use the Super Star 3000 on full zoom. Mom and dad said it could cause damage to your eyes, but if I used it once, I guess it couldn't cause any.

So when I turned the looking lenses, the star got blurry. "Ugh." I said. I had like, fifteen minutes to get downstairs for my birthday party. I kept turning the lenses until I was in shock. "No way." I looked at the star and don't call me crazy but, it was green. I'm not kidding! It was a perfectly green star! As soon as I saw that, I totally went bonkers and started talking to myself.

"Okay, what am I supposed to do- call NASA and be all like, 'yo NASA, I saw a green star!' I mean like, really Aron, REALLY. Well, it could be a new kind of star. Like, the temperatures could be between a yellow star and a blue star!" and before I knew it, I was walking in circles. I went back up to the telescope, and kept turning the lenses. "Here goes nothing." and I was on full view. As I looked, I saw what no human being had ever seen, a tree. The tree was about the size of the little star, which made me gasp. "Aron!" mom called. Snap! my party was starting! I was only wearing a purple party dress that looked like outer space, so I guess I looked what New Yorkers called "fancy". I ran down the swirly staircase and was approached by Hailey and Sarah. "Omg hey!" Sarah said. Sarah was my blonde friend who had a seriously crazy bedazzled phone. I mean, she changed the diamonds every day, she was crazy over sparkly stuff. Then Hailey was a brunette and she just loved boho-chic things. She was wearing this copper skirt and black leggings, plus those headbands that go around your forehead. As for Sarah, she was wearing a black jacket that was outlined with sequins. then she was also wearing a black and pink skirt. She ALSO was wearing some beautiful sequined purse, and her phone was in it. My cake was on the buffet table. It was white with the northern lights in frosting on it. Man, what a fab cake. I thought.

"Aron, did your parents invite... you know who?" you know who was our secret name for Hannah. Hannah was this brat that I totally hated. She called me her friend even though she gets mad at me for absolutely no apparent reason. As soon as Sarah said that, I got a text message... from Hannah. I gave myself a face palmer. It said omg, I'm totes looking forward to your party! And then about two seconds later my phone buzzed. It was another text saying OMG why aren't you answering??? and then it buzzed again. I'm not coming. and then, I'm totes coming! Sarah sighed. "Is she done?" I laughed.

"Okay, I've invited about fifty people. Darian, Gina, Hannah, Brianna, Miss Nancy-"

"WHOA WHOA WHOA, hold the phone. Miss Nancy?" I hate to burst your "this story is so easy to remember" bubble, but Miss Nancy was that devil at the orphanage. Hello, news flash, she's evil. "Oh calm down Aron! She might not even talk to you! Just behave." she sighed. Me Hailey and Sarah went upstairs to my room. As we walked up, my cat Renie followed us. Hailey picked Renie up and cuddled her. As we went into my room, we all sat on my bed. I've got to admit, my bed is totally awesome. Its a king sized bed with a little staircase, and on the perimeter is a clear plastic aquarium. The top doesn't have a lid, so the turtles can get right out. That's right, you heard me, turtles. I have ten of them. My room was very nice, too. The walls were all white and had those little glow in the dark stars.

I'm going to be honest, my friends are rich too. Sarah's mom owns this really fancy company called "P.R.O.M" meaning punctual romantic over-dressing marvelous and then you add dresses. The dress I was wearing was from P.R.O.M. Then Hailey's dad owns the biggest farm field in New York. They sell the crops he grows at a nearby Publix, and the strawberries are the BOMB. My mom is the company owner for "My Style" magazine. Dad is the manager for like, every music star you know. Like for my party, he said he booked Drake. I guess all the people mom invited are coming because they get free Drake concert tickets, ha. I opened my easy bake oven and pulled out a chocolate dessert. Mom and dad asked me to make some pastries to save money. This was the fiftieth one I've made. Make that fourty ninth, Sarah just ate one.

"Sarah!"

"Sorry, but I was starving!" she said with her mouth full. Me and Hailey laughed. Hailey was calling Renie and cutie. When I looked out my window, I smiled. I walked up to it and put my elbows on the window pane. "Aron, you kay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine! I just really like Auroras." I sighed. Hailey walked up to me and put her elbow on my shoulder. "Well come on! I wanna meet Drake!" Me and Sarah laughed. This was gonna be the best day of my life, totally.

We walked downstairs in our party dresses. Hailey was a boho girl, but she knew how to dress for parties. Her dress was a dark brown color and had a light white vest. And Sarah just kept what she had on because she is seriously OBSESSED with sequins.

As we walked down, I saw Peter Stelston. Oh man, Peter was the CUTEST boy at Grendleson academy. He was wearing one of those cute little boy tuxedos. Then came Dustin Harold. He is Sarah's crush. The guy himself had tortoise rimmed glasses and a very good fashion sense. I know it sounds awkward for a guy, but he doesn't dress as fancy as you'd think. All he normally wears is jeans and a random shirt, so I wouldn't judge.

And there I saw her, in the other corner, Hannah Reno. Her red hair had little orange weave in it. She was wearing a fire looking dress and fishnet tights. She was also wearing heels. I was nudged on the shoulder by Peter. "Ha, here comes trouble. Prepare yourself." he laughed. I just rolled my eyes. I don't have a crush on Peter, but he's handsome. "Omg Aron, why haven't you Kiked me?"

Kik was this new texting app that Hannah just LOVED to annoy me with. "Because every time I tried to text you, it said 'rainbowcutiepie6654' is typing." I said. I heard Sarah and Hailey plus Peter trying to hide their laughs. "Well, I'll be right back, I'm going to get some food." and she left. "UGH." I murmured. I probably shouldn't have said that because when I did, Sarah, Hailey, and Peter started laughing like crazy.

"Man Aron, sucks to be you." Peter said. I sighed. I guess it did suck to be me. Let's face it, Hannah was my worst nightmare. But lucky me, Drake was here. The entire area was booming with music, and the squealing of girls. I looked at the staircase to my room. I saw a boy run up it, quickly. I'd never seen him before. He was light skinned with brown hair and brown eyes. I ran after him. "Hey, why is that kid going to your room?" Hailey said, as she and Sarah chased after me. "I don't know, but I'm going to find out." and we ran. As we got to the room, the door shut behind us. Me Hailey and Sarah screamed. The boy turned and knocked out Sarah and Hailey, but with wind. "Hey, what's your deal!" I yelled. "Wow. it's been a while Nora."

"Nora? That's Aron to you ya little dweeb." I said while stomping my foot. As I stomped my foot, I saw the window behind the boy. The northern lights were glowing. And when I saw the star glowing, I totally freaked. I pushed the boy away and looked through the telescope. Oh my gosh. There were about eight stars all around it, in a spiral. Purple, red, pink, blue. This "star" wasn't a"star", it was a galaxy. My jaw popped open. I was looking at another human life source. "Wow." I gasped. I turned around. When I looked, the boy had a necklace that had a wooden plank with a sun on it. "Well, you coming?" he asked.

"Where?" I asked.

"That galaxy." he said. I laughed. A minute later, the boy held the necklace plank out, and it reflected into a portal. "Well, come on!" he said, and he jumped through. I stuck my arm in, and before I knew it, the thing sucked me in.

I was in a tornado, and everything was spinning around. It was spinning to fast and I couldn't breathe, so I blacked out.
