~Chapter 1~
Meeting the Government Guys
I woke up to the sun shining in my face. I slowly got out of my ベッド and walked to the kitchen. As soon as I poured ミルク in my cereal, I heard a knock at my door.
I walked over to the front door and looked out the peep hole. Two men in business SUITS/スーツ were standing on my front porch. One of them had a big bushy mustache and the other one had a bald head. I guessed they worked for the government.
I opened the door and 発言しました "Well, hello. Why are あなた knocking on my door at eight o'clock in the morning?"
The one with the mustache gave me a dirty look and 発言しました "Watch your tone young lady. あなた don't know who your talking to. We are here to see あなた parents."
I wanted to rip that stupid mustache off his face but I knew that would just cause trouble. So I 発言しました "They are asleep. Come back later." I went to close the door in there faces but he put his hand in the way.
"Go wake them up. We will sit at your キッチン table." They walked right into my house like they owned it または something and sat at the table. I didn't like them at all.
"I will be back in a sec." then I ran down the stairs to my parents room.
I grabbed my dads foot and shook it. "Dad, wake up. There are to government dudes in our キッチン waiting to talk to あなた two."
My mom opened her eyes slowly and 発言しました "What did あなた say, Summer?"
I sighed. "I said, two government guys are in the キッチン and are waiting to talk to あなた two."
Mom got up quickly, put her ローブ on, then 発言しました "I'll go keep them company. あなた wake up your dad." then she went up stairs.
I grabbed my dads ankle and shook it. Once he woke up I told him what was going on. he 発言しました "Go up there and tell them I will be up there soon. I have to get dressed."
"Alright." I walked up stairs.
Five 分 later dad came up the stairs all ready. Then they made me go away cause I couldn't hear there conversation. I walked to my room and turned on the T.V. I flipped through the channels.
Thirty 分 later my mom walked into my room. She gave me a half smile and 発言しました "Summer, I need to tell あなた something."
I knew it was something bad. I just knew it. Why else would the government guys come here. I 発言しました "Just get it over with."
"Well, the men came here to tell us that there sending everyone, over the age of eighteen, to war."
"Wait, what? No they can't do that. Can they?" I asked, even though I knew the answer.
She gave me one of her motherly looks and 発言しました "I guess they can. The government does run the country. But anyways, they are sending everyone, not including the rich and famous, over eighteen to war and there is nothing we can do about it."
That's when a tear ran down my cheek. "They can't do that." I screamed. "They just can't. It is not fair."
My mother tried to comfort me, but it didn't work. I pushed her away and ran out the house.

木, ツリー Talk
That was how I handled myself when I was really upset. I run to my special pine 木, ツリー and sit up there for an 時 または two. I liked to be alone. I usually didn't talk to anyone. The only person I would talk to was my best friend, since as long as I can remember, Jaxson.
Jaxson looks kind of like me. He has dark brown hair and and big sky blue eyes. The only difference is that I have dark greenish - yellowish eyes. He is also seventeen, one 年 older than me. He is very good looking. I tell him that all the time. But there is nothing romantic between us. We are just really good friends.
I sit in the 木, ツリー and look towards the mountains. They are beautiful. Its the time of 年 were the leaves turn red, yellow, orange, etc. The wind had an ice cold chill. I eventually fell asleep.
I woke up to Jaxson sitting right beside me. When he noticed I was awake, he 発言しました "Well, Sleep Beauty finally woke up!"
I stretched my arms. My back felt so stiff. "What time is it?"
He laid back on the トランク and put his hands behind his head. "When I left my house, about an 時 ago, it was 12:30."
"Oh, great. Has your parents told あなた the news?"
"You mean the one about the government sending everybody over eighteen to war?" I nodded. "Yea, they told me that when I woke up this morning."
"It's crazy. I mean what are they going to do about all the kids that don't have older siblings? Throw them in some kind of daycare place."
He gave me a smile and 発言しました "You never know when the government is involved. My dad told me that they have a broadcast 表示中 tonight that gives あなた all the details. Dad say most everybody is required to watch it."
"I think it's stupid." I 発言しました stubbornly.
"Yea. I agree."
"Wait, jaxson. That means あなた will be going to war in one year."
"I doubt they will keep sending people to the battlefield."
I knew that wasn't true and I had a feeling that he knew too. "I really hope your right. Cause losing my parents is horrible. But losing my parents and you... I might commit suicide."
"Let's concentrate on happy things now. Not bad." he gave me a huge smile. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright then. What do あなた want to talk about."
"Let me tell あなた about prom." Prom is this weekend. I can't go since I am in tenth grade. Most guys in his grade don't really care about prom, they just go with there girlfriends.
Surprisingly, Jaxson is so excited. "So who are あなた going with?"
He gave me a slight smile. "That's what I have to tell あなた about... I kind of need someone to go with me. My 日付 called me last night and told me that she couldn't make it."
I felt so bad. I knew he really wanted to go. I also knew he wasn't going to go with just friends. "I'm sorry, Jaxson. I knew how much あなた wanted to go. Maybe あなた can find another 日付 in time."
"Yea, that's just it." He says. "I was wondering if あなた could go with me. Not as a 日付 または anything. あなた know, just as a friend."
I knew he was asking this so he wouldn't look bad in front of his friends. But I still had that nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach. "I would but I don't have a dress and I'm a sophomore, only juniors and seniors can go."
"Actually, sophomores and freshman can go if they get asked によって a junior または senior."
"Well... That still doesn't solve my dress problem."
He gave me his famous smile and 発言しました "I have a plan for that one. あなた ask あなた rich dad to give あなた money for あなた to buy a dress. Then, I drive あなた to the dress store または whatever and あなた do your thing."
"Well, あなた did have a plan. I guess I'm going. When do あなた want me to get the money?"
He shrugs and says "As soon as possible, I guess."
I smile. Me, Summer Gray is going to prom with Jaxson Haze this Friday. That is way better than sitting on the ソファー, ソファ eating potato chips. "Alrighty then, let me go get the money and I will meet あなた at your car." I 発言しました as we got out the tree.
"Thank あなた so much, Summer. Your awesome."
I hold my hands up to my chest and say "I know... What would あなた ever do with out me?"
We both laugh and walk towards are homes.
