I couldn't help but watch her and wonder what went on in her mind. She's just too beautiful. The way she watched him play and the way you could see it in her face that she really loves him.

I've watched her everyday for the allowed time limit for the past 5 years. I've liked her since 8th grade. I don't think she had noticed me yet though. I've watched her as her sister had been killed, I've watched her as her mother and father reached their age limit and had passed, I've watched her for just about every big moment in her life so far. I know she has broken rules, and I don't plan on telling anybody though.

She loves Nick, and I know he loves her. They are almost perfect together. But in about 3 minutes I have to stop thinking about her.

"Hello Noah, we see you've followed all of the rules today, and as far as anything else goes, you are due on a shot. You will be receiving it around 9:30 tomorrow morning. Have a goodnight Noah." I hear a similar message like this every night from the Contrality. They are the ones that make all the rules and enforce them as well. I've never broken a rule and don't plan on it either.

As I see the sun pop through my window, I know it's almost time to get up. Everybody above the age of 4 and below the age of 60 get up at 8:00. The others get up when ready. You're not allowed to get up sooner nor later. And the same goes for bed time. You have to be in bed by 8:30 or after you get your message from the Contrality.

I hear the alarm sound which means it's time to get up and prepare for the day. For me, I work for three hours and then for the rest of the day, I watch her. I follow her. I know it sounds creepy but I promised I would protect her. And i will.
