Good vs. Not So Good

chapter 1

 Ally's POV, August 24, 2058

It's been a while since I have thought about the note. And my best friend. but I am thinking about them now,so I'm not that bad... Am I? I guess that the only reason I'm thinking about them now is because I'm off to collage soon. In Peru. Kind of strange how things work out, hmm? I'm flying over a few months early to get used to the weather and culture. But mainly the weather. I'm an English girl, I'm not used to so much heat!

   What should I do while I'm there..... Maybe I should go see if I can find Lucas! He'll still be in Isola because the war isn't over yet. I do still have the note in my journal. I'll go get it. Now, where is it......

  

*30 minutes later*

"MUM?! WHERE IS MY JOURNAL? I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE!" I yelled.

     "Calm down, honey, I've kept it in my room so no one else, but me, can read it! Isn't that great?"

     " WHAT! OF COURSE NOT! YOU READ MY JOURNAL?! HOW COULD YOU?!" Some might say I'm overreacting, but I'm a hormonal 18 year old girl, about to head off to collage! Anyway, those are my personal thoughts that nobody else should hear, or read for that matter.

    " Well, I haven't read them yet.... I was gonna read them tonight. I just finished my teenage Rom com! The one about the pirate and the princess. It's kind of sad that they break up at the end." she confessed.

    "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! THAT'S MY BOOK. FROM MY SHELF. IN MY CUPBOARD. IN MY DESK! EVEN I HAVEN'T FINISHED IT YET! I GOT IT TWO WEEKS AGO AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT SINCE." I calm myself down a bit. " Thanks for telling me the ending." I mumble sarcastically.

   My mum has been super clingy lately, ever since dad died. Ya know what, I hate the note that told us about him. I was so mean and annoying. It never said the word dead or died once, not once. It made it sound peaceful. Now he has "passed away", we, along with him, should be happy, not sad at all. Well guess who cried for weeks, stupid note.

      Anyways, she has tried to be a ' cool mum' and she is failing epically. Well at least now she lets me have a boyfriend. That's a bonus, right? Who am I kidding, how many times have guys dumped me since I've been allowed to date. NONE! no guys have asked me out since I've been allowed. I used to get asked at least once a month, but now I've only dated like one guy. And I broke up with him myself! He was weird...

     Anyway, my older brother just left for college a year ago. My mum probably just wants to spend as much time as possible with me until I go to college, like him.

   

** a while later**

    my mum finally comes back with my diary.

    "Here you go, dear. you know, I didn't know you have a crush on Mikey something-or-other"

     " OMG that was when I was like twelve or something! And before he hit puberty. Now he looks like a spotty gorilla. And sounds like one too...."

     "ALYSSA! That is not nice!"

    "It might not be nice, but it is true..." I mumble

I take the note out of my diary, "I'm gonna go pack" I tell her.

  

Maybe I should lay out my outfit for the plane ride today so I don't get it dirty.. Yeah.

I head upstairs and shower. I then pack and choose an outfit for next week. I chose a mint green tank top with Aztec print leggings and black pumps.

    Tired, I head to bed.

Lucas's POV

     I'M SO BORED!!!!! I'm not even allowed to leave this stupid house! No one tells me why, but I'm just not. I know I shouldn't be complaining, this house is HUGE!!! Indoor and outdoor pool, movie theatre, and even a disco room. But after two years, it gets kind of boring. sitting around doing nothing. I'm even home schooled!!! I can only go outside if I'm in the backyard! And even then there's still huge metal fences to stop me from getting out. I'm not a guest anymore, I'm a prisoner. It's all because my mum thinks that if I get out, I'll tell the whole world who she is. As if I actually would tell everyone who she is, she's my mum!

    Anyway, there's this secret location everyone keeps talking about. Well, whispering about. Something about this HUGE tower, 5 miles due west. whatever that means.

    ok so I do know what it means, I can see it from my bedroom window, but I don't know why I'm not supposed to know about it. I need to find out! uggggghhhhh!!! Why am I so curious about everything?!

    "Lucas!"  high pitched voice yelled," Your gonna be late for dinner. You know we have it early on Fridays."

     I sigh and head downstairs. Just another Friday at camp boring....
