[b]Chapter 1[/b] Pampanga,Philippines (yr. 2250) 2 years later I wake up,knowing that today was another day of school and work. Ever since the war started,everything I believed in shattered into a million pieces. My home,my COMPLETE family,mt future...gone. I know you're in the past,reader,but if I could,I would bring you here,and you would see what why I'm not an optimistic person about what I believe in. I search the bed for anything to cover my face from the sun's light,but instead I grab the hand of my brother Alec. Alec,so young and innocent. I don't even know if he understands everything that has been happening. He's only 7,me,13 and we're already trapped in this warfare. I get up and cover my brother with a blanket on our sorry excuse for a bed. I dress up,saving the water for Alec. I just brush my teeth,wash my face, and fix my hair. I go downstairs after wards and see my mother,staring at nothing but air. After my father's death,she went in shock,and soon,she went into a comma. She's fine now though,but she hardly does anything. She just eats,sleeps, and rests. The last time I heard her talk was at least three days ago. I grab a piece of stale bread,on of the few foods we have left in this house. I kiss my mom on the forehead before leaving. No reaction from her whatsoever. As soon as I get out of the house,I take a bite out of my bread and look around. I live here,in the Philippines,division 7 of it to be exact. It was once a beautiful,tropical country. Now,it's just a forgotten country,divided into divisions,controlled by the Heart. The Heart is the main division here,it's the division that speaks for our country,oh wait,let me rephrase that,it's the division that LIES for our country. It keeps on saying that we,re organized or we can handle our own problems,but truth be told,we're not organized. There are a lot of street fights,criminals, and people are dying every other day because of hunger. We also can't handle our own problems. I know,I know, a lot of people say that they can,but deeply,inside them,they know that they need help. I'm not gonna lie,because I myself know all that I say is true. Here in the future,reader,if this happens to you too,good luck....you're gonna need it. As I walk,I am approached by my classmate,Jess. She's the most popular girl in our class,also the prettiest,when we were younger (and everything was still fine) I was stupid enough to ask her out,go figure. Now,we just laugh about it,but honestly,I really really like her "Hey Chase,walk with me?" she asks flashing her smile that can brighten up my day. "Uh....um....s-s-sure" great,I stutter,what a move Chase...I don't usually do these stuff in front of a girl,but there was just something about her that makes me nervous. Something about her that makes me forget all my problems,and that something about her makes me happy and cheerful even in the saddest of days. There was only silence as we walked,but then she said something that changed my life forever...guess what it was... [spoiler][b]PurpleSkittles[/b] : tnx for reading even if I abandoned a lot of stories before....i'm planning on continuing the girl and the book [b]Oniongurl[/b] : tnx for liking the story.
