Black Roses

I peeked at the clock—11:59 PM, and sighed. In one minute my birthday would be over, and as would the worst night of my life. Just as the clock struck 12, a bright light illuminated outside.
I yelped and covered my eyes, shielding them from the harsh white light. I could hear soft whispers around me as the light slowly grew brighter and brighter. I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but I knew that they weren’t good. But before I could yell for help, the light vanished, just as quickly as it had come. I blinked away the stars and stood up. Peering out my window I saw the remainder of the light wisp away and disappear into the bushes.
12:01 AM that was the moment, my life changed forever.

Alaina's 17 birthday has finally arrived. Her best friend Brett has had a crush on her since kindergarten, yet she still has no idea. She blows him off and goes out with another guy, ended up getting her heart crushed...but what's more, is that at a bright flash appeared in her front yard. She never figures it out, but later at school meets a dazzling, familiar boy names Micah. But is Micah who he appears to be? Or is there more to him than meets the eye?
