6 years before our story takes place my story began. It was 3 months after my 12th birthday and it was also the first day of school.
I woke up that morning slightly terrified to go to school, 7th grade was an all new thing for me. I sleepily did my morning routine and changed into a white camisole with a sheer maroon t-shirt over top, I wore casual jean shorts and black ankle boots.
I slid down the railing to get downstairs. My mom was in the kitchen humming the epic sax guy song for some reason while she cooked bacon. When she turned around numbers formed from stars appeared on her forehead. 4-19-47 since I was me, I didn't think about it at all. My father's numbers were 8-23-11 that was the next day.
Every kid at school had the numbers. Multiple said 9-28-11 and I wondered what the numbers meant. Oh I would know very soon.
One kid's said 8-23-11 just like my dad's, the next day my father and the kid's parents who were driving him to school got in a car crash. All 4 of them died. 9-18-11 was the day of our very own school shooting. Every kid that had those numbers on their forehead died that day.
I kept my gift a secret for 6 years, no one knew. I wanted to keep it that way, but I had no choice. My fate was already decided.

Hey it's FC :) this is the first chapter of Numbers written by yours truly FC. Yes FC got the concept of seeing people's death dates from When. Don't judge, this book is very different from that one. Okay? Other chapters may be written by different collaborators soo yeah.
