Hi, I'm Lily. I'm 13 years old with caramel hair and green eyes. I live in America. Not the old America, the new America. High tech, republic, America. When every child is born they are given a necklace, like a mood necklace. Every child's is different. They have only half of a shape. Their soulmate has the other half, when you and your soulmate get closer the necklace changes color, warm colors when your close and cold colors when you're farther away. I like older stuff, things that my parents liked. Minecraft, loom bands, duct tape. So did my best friend, Rachel.

It was the first day of school, seventh grade. I was nervous because I'm going to a new school, my other school was shut down. We were never told why. Only one friend that I knew of is going to the same school as me, Rachel.

I woke up to my alarm clock.

Time to face the new school, new life almost. I got dressed in my favorite outfit, jeans, minecraft t-shirt, minecon bracelet, creeper bow, and converse shoes. I put on my glasses and ran downstairs. "Good morning, Lily!" My stepdad, Joseph, said while taking a gulp of coffee. "Morning, Joseph" I emphasized the 'Joseph'. He could never replace my dad. My dad joined the navy when I was three, he came home, but then he was deported again when I was 9. He never came home. I looked around for my mother.

"Hey where's mom?" I asked.

"Work, pumpkin." He was reading the newspaper.

"Don't call me that!" I said in frustration.

I heard a honk outside. Rachel takes me to school every day. I grabbed my backpack and lunch, and ran outside. Rachel was already in the backseat wearing a minecraft T-shirt, jean skirt with leggings, minecon bracelet, enderman headband, and converse shoes. I smiled and joined her.

"Hey Lil!" She embraced me.

I hugged back "I'm SO nervous!"

"I know! I'm also excited though! I was at a Taco Bell, we sat by this really cute boy and my necklace went from yellow to orange!"

I felt a little jealous but, she was my best friend, there is no jealousy. I smiled and hugged her again.

We talked about what we hope school will be like and we finally arrive at school.

We went to our lockers, they were pretty close! Two boys lockers were next to mine. We went to homeroom and sat next to each other. A boy wearing a minecraft shirt and kind of long hair sat next to me, he looked at me while playing with his birth necklace. Another boy sat behind him, he wore glasses, a striped shirt, and styled hair. They were clearly best friends. The second boy kept staring at me, I felt nervous. Then I felt something warm on my chest, I thought it was my necklace, but the bell rang and the teacher walked in as class started.

We went through class and glanced at the clock. It was, only homeroom. The bell soon rang and Rachel and I went to our lockers. I noticed the two boys from homeroom had the lockers next to me. Rachel had History and I had English. I wished her luck and went to English class. The first boy from homeroom sat behind me in class. I looked around and saw a familiar face. It looked like Dylan from elementary school. He stole my pens last year at our old school. English class began and I payed no attention, I drew anime on a paper. I felt like the boy behind me was watching me. I drew most of English class when someone's pen exploded. It was Dylan, from my old school. I felt weird because I used to have a crush on him. It was cleaned up and English class ended. I got up and the boy behind me just turned and stared at me.

"I'm Kyle, I also draw. And play minecraft." He smiled and passed me a folded piece of paper and walked out before he knew my name.

"O--kaay" I managed to say.

I walked out of class. I had PE next, so did Rachel. We walked to class together and changed. We were doing volleyball in PE, we are volleyball players so it was an easy PE class. Rachel pointed someone out.

"Isn't that Maggie ? Who bullied us?"

I looked over. "It sure looks like her,"

"It must be her."

"Well, whatever . . ."

We peppered and talked until class ended. It was a weird day so far. We had one more class then lunch. Surprisingly this school was smaller and gave us a 15 minute recess. I went to science class and saw the second boy from homeroom. He sat next to me. He stared at me all science class, my face burned. He passed a note. What is with boys and notes today? I read it. "Hey, I like minecraft too, nice glasses. My ign is SeanPmc. What's your ign? Name?" I blushed as I read it and wrote on it "Hi, I'm Lily. Thanks. My ign is Lilybear3. So your name is Sean? Nice :)" I passed it back.
