I twirled a lock of hair around my finger while reading my book.

Just an hour earlier I had been raging at my brother for breaking something special of mine. But now I'm calm. Books calm me. I put it down and sigh.

I look around at my messy room and without a word I pick up the things on the floor and place them back in their rightful places. After I'm done cleaning my room I sit back down and pick up my book. I can read better when my room is clean.

After an hour of sitting there I hear footsteps on the stairs. Probably my brother coming to apologize

Suddenly a flash of light bursts into my room and I hold my hands above my eyes, hiding behind my chair. A girl with a long brown high ponytail, white shoes that glow in the bottom, and a jacket that has strips of glowing lights running up it, stands in the middle of my room. She looks up, her eyes sparkle and her cheeks are rosy pink. "I can't believe that worked!!" She looks like me, but older.

I peer out from behind the chair and she sees me. I stand up all the way and ask "who are you?"

"I'm you but from the future. There's no time to waste!" She says urgently. She holds out her hand for me and I walk forward hesitantly. How do I know this is the truth? I think. I fight over it mentally and my sensible side looses. I grab her hand.

Looking back on that, it was probably the worst choice I have ever made.
