2086

Charlene's life changes after the unexpected death of her uncle. No, she doesn't turn into a vampire/werewolf. She doesn't get magical powers and becomes a superhero. She doesn't meet a boy and falls in love (not what the plot is about, exactly). She doesn't become a coldblooded assassin. She doesn't get adopted by a super famous person. Her life just...changes.

She DOES meet a boy, but she doesn't instantly fall in love (she does think he's cute, though). He was caught using some sort of technology in the janitor's closet. Charlene followed him in there and began her questioning, to which he replied,

"My name is Akira Sasaki, I'm from 2086. I am a Japanese detective investigating the case of the South Side Mafia, a gang of violent and blood thirsty men out to kill those who oppose their 'revolution'. I traveled back in time along with a friend of mine, and we were both to pick someone from this decade. And you're my chosen one."

And from then on, Charlene had been mixed up in Akira's shenanigans.
