“Anna; wake up. It’s time for school.” Elizabez yelled up the stairs. That’s my mom and I am Anna, you’ll know more about me later in the story. “Get up. You only have 10 minutes to get to school.” Elizabez yelled again.  “Alright, alright; I’m up I’m up.” I yelled down the stairs. As you can see I am normally not a morning person.

In fact I was almost late for my second day at my new high school. I just moved to Panama City Beach with my parents and am now going to the best and toughest high school there is. My parents want me to be an A+ student and get into Harvard University. Oh yeah you haven’t met my dad yet; have you?! Well as weird as it sounds his name is Nico and he is kinda funny.

            Well, I have to get dressed now and run to school. I live so close to the school and the beach I can walk there. I pulled out a pair of jeans, red tank top, Blue jean jacket, and red boots. I put my hair in a high and tight ponytail. My hair is only down for weddings or pool parties but I don’t swim. It’s not that I don’t know how, it’s just I love to read more than anything.

            I grabbed my book bag, gym bag, and my “Tex Texter” my parents just bought for me before we moved. The only thing is since I don’t have any friends it’s practically useless. So, now I got to get to school. We have talked for about 5 minutes, 12 second, and .29 seconds. I ran out the door and into the school. I went straight to class forgetting about going to my locker but made it in time to relax in class for about 3 minutes, 26 seconds, .04 seconds. Sorry I will stop doing that if I can. Anyways the bell rings and a female teacher walks in. “Good Morning class, I am Mrs. Kalisto and I am your new math teacher. Now open to page 164-165 and do problems 1-112 all of them. Later we will move onto harder problems. Now you have only 1 hour so begin. It is due at the end of the hour.”

            When I opened my math book to page 164 and 165 the problems looked very simple. I could get them done in ten minutes. One of them is... n (nk*sd-kl*hn) 32*z...that is so easy. The answer would be “n” only because it is shown 3 times. Okay in these equations you have find the letter that is shown the most and write it down. Another problem is 72*6300 divided by 22+63 and show as a percent which would be. (72*6300=453600/22+63=20681.18182 as a percent is 2068118.2%) See they are very simple and easy to comprehend. Anyways hold on while I finish up these last 2 problems...okay all done and it only took my 14 minutes straight. I stood up from my desk and gave Mrs. Kalisto my math work. She looked at in shock and then handed me my schedule while smiling. I went back to my desk and sat down. I noticed that everyone was glaring at me with anger because I finished before them. So I just stared at my schedule reading it without looking up. My schedule looked like this.

            See my classes are not that difficult. In fact they will be simply as easy can come really. The only thing is trying to fit this into my work schedule and friends. You see, school starts at 7:00-3:00 and then I ride my bus to my street and walk to work. Work begins at 4:00 for me and ends at 9:00 which is about 6 hours and I get paid $10 an hour. This is $60 a day, $420 a week, $1680 a month, and so on. You may think my life is perfect but it’s not. The two things that I do not have are friends or a boyfriend. I don’t bother with them since they are distracting. Anyways the bell just rung and I need to get to my second hour. I will talk some more after school is out. So as soon as I opened the door and walked out I bumped into a girl wearing a black pants and a green tee shirt.

            She had long black hair, lime green eyes, and the bottom of her hair was tipped blue along with her bangs. She was known as the most popular girl in the entire school and head cheerleader. So anybody who was anyone knew to stay out of her way; her name was Amara Viper. “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t see you.” I quickly said without hesitation. “Yeah, you better apologize.” She said pushing me out of the way and onto the floor. Then Amara walked of laughing as I put my books back in my book bag and stood up. “Are you okay?” A voice said behind me. “Yeah” I replied turning around. I saw a girl with short red hair, baby blue eyes, 5”4, and sort of chubby. Not fat but also not skinny, kind of in between. “Ignore her. She’s a bitch all the time to everyone.” The girl with short hair replied. She wore regular light blue jeans, blue sneakers, and a red tank top with a blue jean jacket.

            “Oh I’m sorry we should introduce ourselves shouldn’t we?” She added. “We don’t have time, the bell is going to ring in two minutes and I have to get to my second hour. So maybe later we can talk some more.” I answered back. “What’s your next hour?” She asked. “Umm...I have science next with Mr. Baker in room 125, you?” I replied. “Hey me too; let’s get seats in the back and talk.” And as soon as she said that the bell rung and we raced to class. “Ladies you are late; would you care to explain why you are late?” Mr. Baker asked. “It’s my fault; I bumped into someone and hit a locker. She came over and helped me with my stuff. I guess this means we both are tardy?” I stated. “Well, not you but your little friend here is. And unfortnally she has to do detention now this Saturday at six in the morning. But you still have 10 credits to use on absences. Would you like to use one?” Mr. Baker stated.

            “May I use two? One for me and for her; after all she did help me in the hallway.” I replied. “Alright, well Miss Star. It looks like you’ve got an angel watching over you today. Now take your seats and get ready to take a pop quiz.” Mr. Baker said while handing out the quiz. Science quizzes normally have only 5-10 questions max. So we went to the back of the class and sat down in the two seats next to each other. It was a science table normally for experiments but also for other things. I smiled a “thank you” smile when Mr. Baker handed us our quizzes and then walked away. I took out my pencil case and took out two pencils. When I was putting my case back I saw she didn’t have a pencil and gave her one of mine. She smiled and took out a piece of paper. She wrote something on it and passed it to me. I opened it and it read (Hey my name is Trixie, Trixie Star. So like wat’s Ur name?) I wrote back (I’m Anna, Anna Anderson.) Then I passed it back to her and looked at my quiz.

            I wrote my name at the top and then saw the note coming back. So I read it again (I’m 17 how old r u and wat’s Ur fav. color?) (I’m 17 too and I like Midnight blue and black. What about you?) I passed it back hoping she wouldn’t answer back and let me take the quiz. I looked over each question; today there were only five questions. The note came back to me but I just ignored it and finished my quiz. When I was done I handed the quiz to Mr. Baker at his desk and he said “Just read or do something quiet.” So I sat down as she finished and handed her quiz to Mr. Baker. She came back and waited for me to write back. So I read the note. (I like Pink and Black. Hey wanna be friends?) (Umm...Well I guess.) (Wat do you, mean by “I guess”) (I never have had a friend before. So I wouldn’t know how to act.) (Just be you and we can hangout.) (Oh, okay) (Wanna go to the movies this Friday night?) (What’s a movie?) (???) (What?) (How do you not know what a movie is? Don’t you watch television?) (No) (Why not) (I love to read and I am always at the library)

            The bell rung and everyone left. I went onto my next class which was English. “Do you have your homework, Anna?” Mr. Kalama asked me before I walked in and I just nodded. He let me pass and asked other kids before they came in to see if they actually did it. The class bell rung and I was the first on the list. “Anna Anderson, Max Selby, Joseph Jackson...” He began to read and when he was done he said “You were supposed to write a poem by yourself or with a partner. Now Anna Anderson why don’t you and your partner, if you have one come up, and read your poem to the class.”

            “Alright” I replied standing up carrying a blue notebook and walking to the front of the classroom. “My poem is called “Together forever” When I was finished I sat down, some people clapped, and some people smiled. Well Homeroom and Gym aren’t very interesting to explain so let’s go to lunch. I always bring my own lunch and V8 splash with flavor. Not that stuff that tastes like cold tomato soup. Anyways while I’m walking I run into Amara Viper and we both get knocked down on the ground. She was very mad and she thinks she rules the school. But the next thing I know as we stand up is that she tries to punch my but a guy stopped her fist before it got near my face.

            “Amara leave her alone.” He said. He had medium thin white hair that went to his shoulders but pulled back in a small ponytail, he wore black glasses, and behind those glasses were purple eyes. He let go of her fist and she stormed off steaming mad. “Thanx” I said. “No problem. Your new here aren’t you?” He replied. “Yeah, my name’s Anna. I moved here about 3 days ago and it’s my second day at this school.” I answered. “Well my name’s Jay, Jay Summers. Maybe we can hang out some time.” Jay stated. “Sure” I said just as he walked off. I went to a table and found Trixie waiting for me; like “tell me the details” look.

            “So, what’s with you and that guy?” Trixie asked in a funny curious-like mood. “Nothing, he just helped me out. That’s all.” I answered. “That’s all? That’s all, girl that was the most popular guy in school.” Trixie stated. I pulled out my lunch and handed her a yogurt and water. “Thanx” she added. “You’re welcome. Anyways who cares he isn’t that cute and” I began to say but he walked by smiling like he wanted to talk. So I got up leaving my stuff and walked over to him. “Yeah” I said quietly. “Wanna go to the movies this Friday night?” He asked. “Sure, why not.” I replied. “Okay I’ll pick you up at six o’clock. Okay” He replied. “Okay, see you then.” I replied and sat back down.

            “So what was all that about?” Trixie asked in a teasing kind of voice. “Nothing really he just wanted me to go with him to the movies this Friday night at six.” I answered. “Girl, you are so lucky. I wish a guy would notice me.” Trixie stated. Well Thursday went by so fast it made the track team look slow. Anyways right now I am home trying to decide on what to wear. “How about this outfit” I said pulling out a pair of blue jeans, flat blue shoes, and a midnight blue t-shirt that said “Angel” in white. I put a white headband in my hair and white star earrings. Then I grabbed my purse and heard the doorbell.

            It was Jay; he looked so nice in his little outfit. He wore a black T-shirt, blue jeans, and black boots. “You look nice” slipped out of my mouth. “Thanks; so do you.” He replied as I blushed a little bit. “Come on; our movie will start soon.” He added. We got in and went to the mall; when we got there, he asked “What would you want to see?” “How about “Drop dead Freddy K” in 3D?” I asked curiously. “Alright, but you sure it’s not going to be too scary or gruesome for you?” He asked. “Trust me it won’t” I added. We got in line and asked for two tickets to “Drop Dead Freddy K in 3D” and went in to get our Popcorn and soda.

            We found some seats in the middle-top section and sat down. The movie began to start and during the middle Freddy jumped out towards us. I jumped and held onto Jay’s hand; but not too tight. He noticed and looked over to see me with my hands over my face now. “Don’t worry; I’ll always protect you.” He said in a whisper just enough so no one but I could hear him. I put my hands down and he held my hand this time. By the time the movie was over I had relaxed. We left joking about the movie and headed back to the car.

            Jay drove me home and walked me up to the door. “I had a fun time, thank you.” I said. “I had a fun time too; maybe we can do this again soon.” Jay replied smiling and then walked off. “Bye” I added. “Seeya” He answered back. When I went inside I heard him leave and then I headed to my room. But before I got there; I heard a voice say “Young lady where have you been? You have been gone 2 hours and 43 minutes.” “I went off on a little date; no biggy” I answered. “You wanted me to have a life and well now I do.” I added then walked up to my room.

            My bedroom was upstairs; we lived in this 2 story house and there were so many things to do. Anyways here’s my room; I know it looks like you are outside. But that’s the way I wanted it to be. Green grass, starry sky, beautiful moon, different little Gizmo’s like my stereo system 3000, Mp3, I-Pod, and a wall TV at the end of the bed of course. My $600 Lab top with Internet, Downloadable music, E-mail, a lot of Games, and don’t forget my PlayStation 1 and 2, my game cube, X-box, Nintendo 63, my DDR-Dance Dance Revolution. My movies and DVD’s like for instance Cars, Disney Collection, High school Musical 1 and 2, Jump-In, Ella Enchanted, e.t.c. Also I have a collection of Anime Videos in English and Japanese; not to mention some of them in German and French.

            I have a $200 calculator which is very cool in white. My Digital camera sits next to my little safe, and only I have the key plus combination. My blue clap lights and Kakashi Hatake alarm clock. My dogs Ami and Greg who are so in love with each other and Ami already had 6 puppies. I am keeping all of them; I don’t think children should be separated from their mother. Anyways there is always Paul and Emily my pet parrots, Kim and Jake are my pet snakes which are in my closet because my mom doesn’t like snakes.

Right now my parents won’t let me get my own cats or fish until I get rid of some other pets first. *Ding Dong* the door bell went off; I clapped my hands one time as I walked out of my room to shut my lights off and headed towards the door. I opened the door and there stood Trixie with a smile on her face. “Come on in.” I said. “Can I spend the night?” She asked. “Yeah sure why not; you can borrow my stuff for now.” I said letting her in and then shut the door behind her. “My room is up here.” I said. Then we headed off to my room and I clapped my hands once to turn my lights on.

            She just stared in amazement and then walked in. “Look at all the cool stuff you have. I don’t have anywhere near this much or this kind of cool stuff as you do.” She said in one little breath. “Play with what you want; just leave this table alone. It is my science experiment for this year and I have been working on it for 6 months now.” I replied. “What does it do?” Trixie asked out of curiosity. “It’s a TPND also known as a Teleportation Device basically it teleports things. I haven’t tried people yet; but maybe later.” I answered. “Why not?” Trixie asked. “I need at least 6 people to operate it and I still haven’t figured out the malfunctions. I tried teleporting my birds and they just appear in my closet.” I answered once more.

            We spent all night in my room and went to bed at 11:33 p.m. The next day we got up and changed. Trixie threw on a pair of blue jeans, a black shirt, and boots. I searched my closet and changed into a pair of blue jeans also, but a green shirt that said “Angel” and blue tennis shoes. We grabbed our school supplies and walked out of the house. We walked up to school and headed in. Trixie went straight to breakfast and I walked towards a table to start reading “Rose of Darkness”

            But before I could get near the table a guy bumped into her making her books fall. “Oh, I’m sorry.” He said in calm, relaxing voice. “Oh, it’s o.k. I am used to this. It happens to me a lot.” Anna replied. “Oh it’s you.” He replied back. “Oh hi again.” I answered while blushing a little bit. “Umm...I have been meaning to talk to you.” He replied. “About what?” I asked in confusion. “Jay! Did you tell her yet?” A girl’s voice behind Jay said in a loud pitch for everyone to hear her. “Not yet.” He answered. They both got up and the girl behind Jay who had Black hair and green eyes replied. “Jay you need to go to class if you want to stay in your fighting club here.” “O.k. Hey Seeya later.” Jay said to Anna.

            “So what’s up?” I asked but didn’t smile. “I don’t know who you are but stay away from Jay. If you go anywhere near him or talk to him I will make sure your life will be totally miserable from the day you befriend him. Do I make myself clear? I am Amara Viper and you are not going to ruin my chances with going out with Jay. Do you hear me? He doesn’t even like you; he went out with you because he was dared to in a game of truth or dare.” Amara asked in a low but firm voice. “O.k.” I answered in a low but quiet voice. After everyone left I went to the office and signed myself out. They asked me what was wrong and I just said I didn’t feel so good. So I went home and opened my bedroom door.

            I dropped my stuff on my floor, went to the refrigerator and got a soda. I took the note from the side of the fridge and it said “Honey, we will both be home in a couple weeks. Sorry this is so last minute but your father has an interview in New York with some big time producer. –Love Mom and Dad.” I threw the note away and went back up to my room. Luckily no one was home and no one stopped by that day. After an hour passed from being home; I went into my bathroom that was connected to my room.

            I started up some hot bath water and added bubbles. I heard the phone ring and went to get it off my dresser. The caller ID on the phone said “Jay Summers” so I let it go and got into the bathtub which was really big. Enough for 4 people plus myself; I didn’t get out for two hours and when I did, I heard thunder. I checked the new on the TV in my room and deleted Jay’s message without even listening to it. Then I put on my pajamas and turned the TV channel to CSI Las Vegas. I went to bed after that and woke up the next morning.

I put on a nice blue skirt to my ankles, flat black shoes, and a magenta pink tank top with a thin see through light blue sweater that went only halfway down past my bust. While I walked to school with my backpack on my back; I put a pale blue headband in my hair with a regular sky blue jewel on top which was fake but shiny. As soon as I walked up to the breakfast/lunch room I saw Jay standing there looking for me. I walked by not glancing over and I knew he saw me because he came up to me and asked “Where were you last night? Did you get my call?” I ignored him and got in line for breakfast. I bought a French Vanilla Latte and a doughnut.

            He kept trying to talk to me, but I just ignored him. “What’s wrong” He asked. “Tell me.” He added. “You want to know what’s wrong. Then go ask you’re little girlfriend Amara Viper. She will explain everything to you.” I said in a firm but quiet voice then walked off to class. After my morning classes, lunch came; I sat at a table alone with some hot soup and Iced Tea. I took out my “Rose of Darkness” Volume 3 and started reading. I finished 1 and two along time ago and there are only 23 volumes. So I have 10 more volumes to go.

            As soon as I opened my book and started reading Jay sat down across from me. “Can we talk?” Jay asked. I just continued to look like I was reading and actually tried to. “Will you at least listen to me?” Jay asked waiting for a reply. “Fine, but you better make it quick and don’t lie because I know when someone is lying.” I replied not looking up or smiling. “Look, I was dared to, by one of my buds, to take out the next girl I ran into and accidentally knocked down. I tried all day to avoid it and hope if I did then that girl would say no. But since I am in the Fighting practice club here and is captain...” Jay said until he was cut off by Anna. “So everyone expects you to be a jerk towards others and how you say “Flame them” So that you can be the most popular boy in school. Then head cheerleader Amara Viper wants to go out with you because she heard about it and wanted to be the first. But she couldn’t because you bumped into me while I was reading a book on my way to class.” I cut-in and quickly answered.

            “So now you think I am going to forgive and forget because I had a suppressed feeling towards you and gave in to the eagerness because someone actually wasn’t apprehensive because of what I appeared to be.” I added before he could say anything else as a small little tear ran down my face. “Yes, I mean no. Look it doesn’t mean I...” he began to say but once again was cut off by Anna saying “Doesn’t what; doesn’t like me? Is that it? You are saying you actually like me? Yeah right, no one ever likes Anna the bookworm and “A plus student” of “Waves-High High school” for the young geneses of the world.” I said standing up getting my stuff ready and walking off to class.

            But before I could get even a couple feet away I ran into Amara Viper once again. This time she looked pissed; I mean it, she was so angry she looked like an apple almost. Everyone began to crowd around and watched to see what would happen next. “I told you to stay away from him, you bitch!” Amara said then pulled out a gun. Teachers began to run over and try to stop her but no matter what they did they couldn’t get near her. “Amara put the gun down. Let’s talk this out, okay.” Jay said in a calming but frightened voice. “After coming this far; you think I am going to put the gun down. I so do not think so. I have come too far to turn around now and get suspended for not even firing the gun yet.” Amara said aiming the gun at Anna. The teachers pushed everyone except for Anna and Jay out of the school so they wouldn’t get hurt.

            But as soon as everyone was out Amara fired the gun and a bullet shot out. It went straight for Anna, but all Anna could do was stand there. She knew she would of fired but not so quickly. Jay pushed Anna out of the way getting shot instead of Anna. He was shot in the chest and fell to the ground. Anna got up and went over to him. “Why did you do that?” Anna asked with tears beginning to form. “I was going to tell you...I love you.” He said in a quiet and painful sounding voice. “Please just go and get away from here.” He added. “No” Anna said as a couple teachers came over with a shirt to hold the blood in. “No I will not run just because...” She began to say getting up and turning towards Amara Viper.

            She saw Trixie standing with the guy she had a crush on and they were holding hands. Trixie had an angry face like “Go and Kick her ass” look.  “Just because some overgrown preppy bitch thinks she can have whatever the hell she wants.” Anna said walking up to Amara and knocking the gun out of her hands. Amara punched Anna and she went down; but she didn’t fall exactly. When she went down she used her hands for balanced and did a side kick move and then back up the standing position. Amara tried to do the same thing but Anna jumped and dived. She stood up and walked over to Amara pointing the gun at her and looking very angry. Mrs. Kalisto slowly tried to take the gun away from Anna. But Anna slowly pulled the trigger and Amara flinched at the sound of a “Click” “Gotcha.” Anna said then added “If there was more than 1 bullet you would be dead and if I didn’t put the safety on before aiming it at you.” Mrs. Kalisto took the gun and called an ambulance. The ambulance came and took Jay to the hospital. Anna rode along in the ambulance and stayed with Jay every moment even though he was unconscious.

            The next day Anna went to school and was back to normal, well almost. That incident yesterday had changed her to who she should have been before she turned 7. When she turned 7 her grandmother and grandfather had died; she took so lightly and acted like it never happened. She remembered what her grandparents said; they told her to “always be Polite and good” then they died. After they died she never spoke a lot and never went to their graves. So after school she stopped by “Angel’s Heaven” and left beautiful red roses; 3 roses on each grave side by side. When she was finished praying she went to the flower shop and bought a 5 “Blue moon” roses. Then she headed towards “Christian Children hospital and walked up to the desk. “Excuse me” Anna asked one of the desk nurses. “Yes?” One of them replied. “Could you tell me what room Jay Summers is in?” Anna asked. “Yes, room 214. Go upstairs and make a left then another left and it’s in that hallway to your right.” The nurse said smiling. “Thank you.” Anna said politely and walked to the elevator. She pressed the next floor button and waited; it only took a couple seconds and when she got off she headed down the hall to the left and left again.

            She walked in 214 and put the small vase of “Blue moon” roses on the table next to Jay’s bed. She saw him still asleep lying there like an innocent child taking a peaceful nap after a long day of playing. The sun began to shine in Jay’s room even more brightly than it did before. Anna thought it seemed a little stuffy in the room, so she opened a window on the other side of the bed. She went and pulled up a stool by Jay’s bed and sat there. She was hoping he’d wake up and see her sitting there smiling. But he didn’t; in fact for almost a week everyday after school she would always visit him bring him another “Blue Moon” rose to put in the vase.

            On a Thursday morning in February she got up and took a shower. When she got out, she dried off, and headed to her closet. She pulled out a pink tank top, light blue half sweater, blue jeans, and sneakers. Today she put on a pink headband to pull her hair back out of her face. Then she went off to school early to get some breakfast. She was so glad she didn’t have to worry about Amara Viper ever coming back. In fact Amara went off to “Juvi” and that made Anna so happy.

            Anna got breakfast and when she walked up to the school it said it was closed. “I wonder why the school is closed.” Anna asked herself. “It’s closed because another kid said there was a bomb somewhere in the school.” A girl with red hair and black eyes answered. Another girl followed and looked almost the same except she had dark skin, black hair, and red eyes. But they were the same height and wore the same outfit but kind of opposite. The girl with red hair and black eyes wore Red pants, black t-shirt, and black sneakers. The other one wore black pants, red t-shirt, and red sneakers.

            “And who are you?” Anna asked the almost twins. “I’m Raylee Silvestry and this is June sparkles. Who are you?” Raylee asked. Raylee was the one with red hair and black eyes. “Hi” June replied smiling. “She’s cheerful today isn’t she?” Anna replied. “WHAT? There’s no school today aww man. I got up this early for nothing and today they were going to have donuts; oh hey Anna feeling better?” Trixie asked. “Why shouldn’t I be?” Anna asked confused. “Well with Jay in the hospital and everything I thought you would be sad.” Trixie replied.
