Faithful Tides

Chapter 1: The Beginning

The green haired girl walked down the streets of her home town. "Clarissa!" A  male called. She turned around.

"Greetings Seth. You are not up this early." Clarissa said.

"Not normal, but, I woke up early, so yeah." He said, rubbing the back of his head. She nodded once. They continued down the streets to their school. 

"Seth, and Clarissa. Did not expect to see to bright children awake." A female said. Seth smiled, while Clarissa only rolled her eyes.

"Moonstone, you do not have to speak formal." She told the Gothic Lolita. Moonstone only smiled. 

"Do not fret dear Clarissa." She told her. Clarissa sighed.

"Let's hurry to school before we are late." She said and began to walk again. Moonstone nodded.

"Okay, so, science fair is coming up. Clarissa, what did you do for the since fair?" Seth asked looking at the green haired girl. Clarissa looked at him.

"My lab was on  crystallography." She told the boy. Moonstone and Seth looked at her.

"Wow. You know how to say that. Gesh, I wish I could." Seth said.

"It took years. Did you know, children in here in America spend about fifteen percent of their lives within a school? It takes some of us much longer to learn. Some are faster at learning and then there are some children who learn slower." Clarissa said.

"Dear, where do do you get your information? It's all so detailed." Moonstone said. Clarissa looked at the Gothic Lolita.

"I have read a lot of science articles before. It is what I do for my free time." Clarissa said.

"You are just really smart." Seth said. Clarissa sighed.

"Indeed." She said. They reached their school.

"Oh look, it's the what now, oh yeah, The Council of Faith. Odd name for some losers." A blond haired boy said. Seth narrowed his eyes.

"Vince, did you know that twenty-eight percent of children ages twelve to eighteen report of bulling. And did you know that one-hundred sixty-thousand student skip school because they do not want to be bullied or fear they will be bullied?" Clarissa asked. Vince looked at her. "I do not believe you knew that. But now you do, think about it next time you decided to pick on another student and what effects it may have on that student." She said before walking into that school. Vince watched as Seth and Moonstone followed their smart friend, unable to speak.

"Wow Clarissa. You slammed him with facts." Seth said.

"It is only the truth. More and more bullies show up and school and try to rein the other students lives. But, if they knew the truth of what they cause, then maybe they would stop bulling other students and realize they are not the only ones here." Clarissa said.

"Indeed my dear. We all should try to stop bulling." Moonstone said.

"I'm in." Seth said. Clarissa smiled. 

"Alright. I could asked the counselor about what we could do to stop bulling. Though, starting here would be easy." Clarissa said walking into their first period class. 

"Hello Miss. Moon, Miss. O'Conner, Mr. Britt." Their teacher said, not looking up from his planing book.

"Hello Mr. Key." They all said in unison. He nodded as they children sat down.

"Mr. Britt, I typically see you here early." Mr. Key said. He looked at the black/grey haired boy.

"Oh, well, I thought, maybe, if I wanted to talk to my friends I should get up early then." Seth said.
