Okay guys, Sentra here. Let me explain the chart of eyes up at the top of the screen here. There's only one thing that I can remember about where I come from. And I sure as hell know it's not from where I've been living the past 15 years. Anyway. That is a scale. I think they base the popularity off of them or something like that. I know the exact scale meaning just that it comes to be important in the future apparently.

Anyway, now you know I don't feel like I belong here let me tell you what Mom thinks about it. She says it's because I'm a typical teenage girl, and we always feel like we don't fit in. Saying that nothing more than a young, and confused girl. I never really felt right here though. It's one of those things that just seem too perfect. As if it was planned. I mean it's kind of scary if you think about it. Both my parents have dark blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. Exactly like myself, and on top of that you know how teenagers are always disagreeing with their parents? Not me! We like the same things, and have never gotten into a fight. It just seems fake anymore. Anyway, it's time for school now.

"Oh crap! I forgot my phone!" I ran back up the steps and into my room. I grabbed my phone off the bed and turned to leave.

I almost didn't see the glowing notebook on my desk. I went back in and cautiously looked at it. 'Am I dreaming?' I opened it terrified with what might happen next. It began to play a picture on the page. Like a movie? A hallucination even? I saw a boy sitting on the floor inside some kind of circle? Must be a design on the floor. That's when he started to speak. I was enchanted with this.

"Uhm. Okay, so I need help. I can't find anywhere else to go for help but, Do you think maybe I could just have one thing? Just one thing worth living for?" He let out a deep breath and the picture disappeared. His exact words decided to appear on the paper, and below them a question formed.

'Will you help him? Yes or No?' I grabbed a pen very confused but, I circled yes. How could I not? I don't know about you but, I'm not the kind of person that watches someone else die when I could've done something about it. That's when I heard a scream. I spun around scared holding the notebook and pen. I saw her reaching out for me.

"No! Get away from that!" Next thing I knew I was in the hallway at school right in front of the cafeteria doors. I walked into the cafeteria searching cautiously not really sure how I got here. This has to be a dream right? That's when I saw the same boy sitting at a table laughing with his friends. He had brown wetted down hair that was pretty long, and he seemed to be a foot taller than me or so. So, I kept my word. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath in trying to find a plan in that head of mine. I mean what am I supposed to do? Walk up to a random kid and say 'Hey don't kill yourself!' Like no.

"Okay...Figure something out Sentra you're running out of time!!!" I kept walking towards him. Before I could reach him I tripped over someone's book bag. I laid on the floor as my phone slid across the floor hitting his foot. 'Well. I guess that's a conversation starter.' I decided to lay there in defeat for a few minutes. That's when he started laughing at me as he picked up my phone. His friends were laughing too. He stood over me towering more like it, and handed me the phone.

"Gee thanks!" I laughed as he reached his arms out meeting mine. He hoisted me up, and we laughed together.

"You always fall like that?" He grinned.

"At least twice a day." I grinned.

"Everyone! Have a seat!" The Principal's voice sounded through the whole room. I began looking around the room trying to find a seat. I spotted a seat in between two boys (Friends of his.) I squeezed in smirking shyly.

"Only if you are a Senior you are to report to the Gym when the bell rings! Again Seniors ONLY!" I happened to notice that with those few seconds the boy's mood had seemed to have dropped instantly.
