   Chapter 1: Lives that changed forever



The sun made the horizon looked like it was engulfed in flames as Jillian gazes out the window. “It doesn’t matter how many times I look outside my window, the view is still breathtaking,” she said while she watches the sun rise. While she’s looking across the wall from her castle, she sees the quiet town called Karrience. The birds were singing beautiful melodies and flying around the building, and she wanted to be in the air with them. “I don’t know why I have to get up this early in the morning to practice when I can do it later,” she said, “the sky looks so beautiful, I bet they wouldn’t even notice that I am gone.” She started to spread her wings but the maid opens the door.
“I hope you weren’t trying to sneak out again Princess Jillian,” the maid said, “not when you have music lessons in a few minutes.” “Oh Tulia, just call me Jillian, and I was gonna come back,” Jillian said as she withdraw her wings.
Jillian was a Chanone, chanone are powerful summoners. In a book from the ages, it said that angels fell from the heavens and help end the war hundreds of years ago. They could summon gods. From different shapes to different sizes, and magic couldn’t destroy them. But after the long and hard battle, they are slowly they are diminishing from the world; Jillian and her family are the last of their kind.
“Not gonna, ‘going to,’ Tulia said, “besides, you said that last time, and you didn’t come back until the end of the day. We had a field day looking for you. I hope you weren’t going to go see that boy again.”
Jillian eyes widen. “How do you—”
Just then her brother Joseph bust in.
“And exactly what boy are you guys, um, girls talking about.”
“Ahhh, your nosey for a boy, you know that!?” Jillian said, as she threw a pillow at Joseph. He ducked, and it ended up hitting her other brother behind him.
“What the—”
“Watch your mouth Michael or I’ll be washing it with soap.” Tulia said. Raphael laughed, and ended up with a mouth full of a pillow.
“What do you guys want anyway?” Jillian said.
“We were sent by mom to get you,” said Michael.
Raphael spit out the pillow, and said “Muriel and the others are waiting for you!”
“Oh no, I better hurry up or mom will have my head!” Jillian said, as she looks around for her shoes. “See ya later Tulia!”
“For god’s sake, see YOU later.”
Jillian slid down the spiral railing to the second floor. She ran and almost bumped into the butlers. “Excuse me,” she said as she ran past them and entered the music room.
Their mother Queen Julia and her three sisters were waiting in the music room. She was a beautiful Queen with bluish-green eyes and brunette hair. She was tall will a white dress and clear sandals.
“Come now Jillian, you must not keep us waiting like that,” she said. “You wanted to learn how to play the piano, and now you have the chance.”

   Not funny, but funny, and a crazy week
Hey yall. It's been a crazy week 4 me. My friends started putting oragel on each other's mouth 4 the last 2 days. Oragel is something numbs the gums when they hurt. It's not funny, but it was funny. Their mouth was numb, so they were slobbing everywhere. My calculus teacher was laughing so hard, he started turning red! I even turned red, it was so funny!

Report card pickup is today. I kinda escape from home cause I know that mines doesn't look great cause I only focused on 1 class and that's the main class I need 2 graduate. But I don't have any F's, I know that much.

AND I started night school 4 my health class. It's pretty fun. Our teacher is my gym teacher from 3rd period, which is the basketball coach. So we don't do anything but watch his team practice. Oh we do go to the weight room and work out, but that's only on Mondays and Wednesday. So everythin is alright.

   Fun! ^__^
We had so much fun in Wisconsin! We were actually there 2 watch other kids from some of the states compete with each other 2 c who had the best business. But we were there 2 chill out 4 two days. It was 4 boys and 6 girls. The boys were wrestling the girls. My friend Erick threw up in our room and left. Yeah, he actually threw up on our floor and left without telling us! So Jeremiah tripped and stepped on the throw up and he was like "Ewww" in a high pitch voice. This girl name Aleekia fell on my friend Erica, she fell on me, and I fell on my other friend Kevin. So we basically fell like dominos, it was so funny.

And we got in trouble with the teacher. We snuck out after our lunch cause we didn't wanna listen 2 no boring speech. It was me, Erica, Kevin, Josh, and Jeremiah. We went 2 Erica and my room and we went 2 sleep. The teacher started lookin 4 us, and they found out that we went 2 the room without telling her. So she made us write 500 lines saying I will follow instructions at a school function. *sighs* Well, better get started on those lines. See ya!

   Hello again!
Hey peoples! Sorry that I haven't been here lately, had 2 get ready 4 our trip to Wisconsin. Our fashion show was cool. They almost cancelled it cause it was a fight, AND the teacher kinda misplaced the CD with the music on it. But it turned out alright. Everybody luved us. They said I walked funny though. I had some skinny heels on, so I'm really not complaining about what they say. But they did say I look pretty.

It was alot of arguing on the back stage. Some was because they kept moving the dresses because they wanted in a specific area. Other times were that they were going out 2 fast and opening the dressing room doors when we were changing. But we stop, calmed down, hugged each other, and went out on the stage. I think we became close, cause I didn't know half of them, and they feel like family now. All man, I have lots more 2 talk about, but the bell is about 2 ring. I'll try 2 get the pics developed next week.

Dear Mr. Warren :


My name is Ticara and I’m filing appeal because of my lack of progress last semester. During the semester I have been distracted from school for several reasons. I had received a call from my brother saying that our friend Jitim Young’s mother passed away. We knew his family since we were in elementary school, so I care about them just as much as I care about my family. I found out from my mother that I that I couldn’t go home to support him and his family, I was devastated. A month later I received a call from my grandfather saying that he was going blind and that he needed surgery. He scared me because he said the next time I come home, he might not be able to see me anymore. I wasn’t sure how to handle the situation, this never happened before. The fact that I couldn’t be there during his time of need really hurt and I became really depressed. When I get depressed, I tend to distance myself from people. I thought that I could handle the situation at the time, but I was still depressed from the death a family member at the end of May. I was afraid to say that I needed help. It was the wrong thing to do because the result of this happening was losing focus in class. Before I could try to fix my grades it was too late, my grades were to low to pull up.

I have decided to take drastic steps for fixing these problems. Other than the counselor at school, I’ve called my counselor from high school that helped me with similar problems I had before. I more comfortable with her and I trust her more than anyone. She will check on me and make sure that I won’t be distracted from my schoolwork. I’m going to ask for updates on my grades every two weeks from my teachers to make sure that I’m doing well in that class. If I’m slacking I’ll set a punishment for myself until I’m back on track. I’ll break my habit and I’ll start asking for help.

I want to show you that I am capable of obtaining excellent grades. From how my grades look I know that you probably don’t think I can handle Quincy University, but I can. It’s just that I wasn’t used to being in this situation, but I’ve learned from my mistakes and I’m praying that you and the school give me another chance. I understand what I did and I’ll receive the punishment that you have set for me, but please not this. I really want to continue going here, so I can show you how determined and dedicated I really am, that I am a true Hawk.
