The Hope That Lives Within Me

Chapter 1

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be in another universe. In those univereses each decision I make has a different outcome like if I say yes in this universe, I say no in another or maybe. Everyone of us has a different version of themselves like i could be a boy or I could be mean. I wish could see into the future and see if I made a decision, how would it alter my future. The one thing I try to do I hope, hope for a better future, hope that my past mistakes don't alter my future ones because a good future is all i hope for. I find my hope in the tiniest of things like a small hug or even a good mark in school. At the same time, my hope can be crushed by the pettiness of things like getting insulted or getting my heart crushed. That's life and I gotta deal with it.

I am Jenny Talia Maines. Everyday of my life I have felt like something was missing. Something or someone that I hope to find. Since I could remember I felt that feeling was slowly dying and as a kid I would run into the woods behind my house and shout out a name I can't seem to remember. My dad forgot because I stopped doing going in the woods when I was 10 but that feeling, that hope never went away and withe each passing year it grows stronger. It's been 7 years since I went into the woods and I just hope...

I woke up with a loud banging on my door. I got up with my messy white hair and went to the door. I opened and saw both my brothers standing by the door waiting impatiently. The quickly got in my room and closed the door. They sat on my bed and stared at me. I stood awestruck and I was the first to speak.

"Okay guys what on earth are you doing in here and why do you look like a guy just walked in the house asking for me?"

"Well that definitely didn't happen." The oldest brother,James, told me.

"So then why do you look like something bad happened?"

"Trixy, is here and she was asking for you." Jack told me.

I instantly felt like i was gonna faint. Trixy was my friend but the she pulled a prank on me with the jocks of the school and that day our friendship ended. That was 3 years ago and she hasn't come here since. What does she want and if she wants something how am I gonna handle it. I quickly run to my bathroom, washed my face and brushed my hair. I never really knew how I got white hair but my dad said I was born with one white streak and my hair turned white over the years my dad said mom said that it was normal from where she was from and he believed her. My hair was super long. It reaches under my butt. Anyway back to my situation, I tied my hair in a pony tail and hurried downstairs in my pyjamas, honestly I didn't care because I lived here.

When I got downstairs I found Trixy and her boyfriend, Dustin, sitting on the couch with my dad. My dad looked at me and I gave him a (thank you for staying with them while I got ready) look and he left the room. I sat down and they watched my every move. I didn't have time for games so I just got straight to the point.

"What do you want and why are you here?" I looked at them with a stern face. Trixy looked at me with an ashamed face.

"We came because we need your help and not just us the whole group." She said quietly.

"What kind of help do you need?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"We need you to tutor the whole group."

Wtf, honestly like for real. Are these people joking? There is no flipping way I will tutor that but i gotta hear it from them why. I hide my fazed face.

"What for?"

"We have been failing our tests and if we fail the next tests the we will get expelled. Principal Higgens told us that we will need a tutor and he recommended you since you have the highest IQ in the school. Soooooo we are asking if u will help us ?"
