Chapter One

"I finally got it!" I shouted as my wrist started to sting, a usual side affect when starting to turn that 'special color'. I reach down to lift off my sleeve for my wrist, but it won't budge. "What?" I mumble to myself ,as I try to lift it some more. My body starts to shake with panic. I begin to have enough.

So, I start to try to lift off my shirt, anything , to try to see the color I have been waiting for. Nothing works. I scream as I try to get anyone's attention to help me, but no one seems to notice,everyone seems to be in their own little world.

I grab someone nearby, and I start to shake her by the shoulders, that way they can finally notice me and help me, but all she does is stare at me blankly and dose not say anything. I let go and start to grow impatient. I just need to calm down and sit down to clear my head. I spot a chair and start to walk towards it. When I get closer to the chair, I don't know if it is because I'm stressed ,but I feel my knees start to buckle and the cold floor beneath me in one swift, quick motion. Then everything turns black.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up breathing heavily and panting. I quickly pull back my sleeve to see nothing there. In disappointment I pull my sleeve back down. Must have been another nightmare I think as I look to my bedside alarm clock to check the time,3:15,great I have school tomorrow I think as I toss and turn trying to get comfortable that way I can go back to sleep but quickly fail, getting pulled into my thoughts instead.

Almost everyone at school has gotten their 'special color' except for me it seems like. Well at least my best friend dose not have it either which is good for me because it makes me feel like I'm not the only one. That final thought somehow comforts me and I soon fall asleep once more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"EEEEEERRRRRRR!" My alarm clock rings.

I press snooze at least five times, considering I'm not a morning person, but I quickly grow annoyed with me having to get up over and over again at least a little bit to do so. So, I move on and start getting ready for school.

After I'm done getting dress, I make my way towards the kitchen to make, breakfast of champions, cereal.

"I'm running late!" my mother screams as she zooms past me to get her stuff from the counter.. "Don't forget, after school you are going to pick up your sister from daycare." she says, making her way out the door.

That is my mother for you not even a goodbye, just makes her way to work and doesn't look back to give her own kids any attention. I've learned to grow used to it and making it on my own while taking care of my sister. My dad isn't even here any more just practically living at work like my mom, I guess you can say they are both major 'workaholics'.

As soon as I'm down with my cereal, I look around for my sister, Kate, but instead I find a note on the cupboard.......

Took your sister to day care today, don't worry about it. Don't forget to pick her up!

- Dad

Hmmmmmmm........ wow, that is way out of character for him, but , ok.

I look up to check the time, 7:40! I'm late! I think as I quickly get my stuff and head out the door. I run all the way there. As soon as I reach my school gates, I come to a halt and start to pant for the second time that day.

I calmly walk through the school doors and make my way to my first period class. When I'm about to reach the door my best friend ,Cassie, comes running towards me.

"What happened?" I asked, intrigued.

Cassie and I have been best friends since the fourth grade, us being in year seventh, that would be about three years. We became best friends fir the simple reason being that we have some of the same interests and believe it or not the same problems. Also the reason being that we are always there for each other no mater what. One time I was feeling sad about my parents never being there for me and what she did was try to cheer me up with my favorite things. Most people just shrug and say it is going to be okay but she is always truly there.

" I got it! I got my mark!" she exclaims happily, but quickly recalls that I don't have mine and her whole mood drops.

I know I'm supposed to be happy for her, but all I can think about is that now everyone I know has gotten theirs and I haven't . I immediately feel bad and try to lighten the mood.

"Oh, cool! Don't worry about me not having mine yet, lets just be happy about yours right now! , I smile, reassuringly , egging her to go on.

" Ok, well, it happened while I was in music class, yesterday, singing my high do when all of a sudden my wrists starts to tingle. So, I quickly look down and see a green color forming! That means I should be in group b, the fine arts group when I grow up!" she says.

"I'm sure you will get yours in soon, I'm sure of it." she adds quickly, looking upset.

"There is no need to feel sorry for me on your special day! I already told you I will get mine soon." I say, trying to hide my uncertainty of getting mine.

"I know you, don't lie to me saying something different." she says, angrily.

I get lost in my thoughts still thinking about why I haven't gotten mine yet.

You get a color on your wrist when you are doing something you really love or your personality , and according to that color that is what you are going to be when you grow up.

Nobody really knows why this happens, there are so many conspiracies.

One of them is that the government planted a chip in each and every one of us and that they already have a color planned out. That it isn't what you love but what you have to get.

I guess that makes sense considering the fact that in some cases people get something they really hate and they feel miserable doing it everyday. Some have gone to the extreme of killing themselves. That is what I'm afraid of. I'm just glad my best friend got something she truly doesn't mind doing all the time. In fact it is her life's passion......

"Hello! Earth to Skyler!" Cassie shouts, pulling me out of my daze.

"Oh, yeah?" I answer

"ughhh never mind we have to go to our class or we will be late." she says pulling me along.
