Hello! This is my first fanfiction posted, based with my friends, OCs, and stories at times. It'll probably seem weird, but just try to go with it! ovo

So close.

I was almost done with my work in U.S History, meaning I'd be able to visit my favorite 1st Grade class and help the teacher very soon. Thank goodness the day's almost done for. I thought, a smile beginning to spread across my face. I knew that once the day ended, I'd get to see my friends at home, though they were already at my school.

My friends included Chris, Tey, Star (Josiah), and my sister Sarah.

Chris, Tey and Star recently moved to my neighborhood in the isolated , not that isolated. We were just off of Hexam, a major roadway. Fortunately, Chris, Tey, and Star all transferred to my school. And in 7th period, while Star and Tey were in P.E., Chris and I took care of 1st grade. Of course, Chris was in the class next door, but our classes went to recess together, so we mainly just hung around the swingsets.

Suddenly, the bell rings, and I find myself stuffing papers and pencils into my backpack, though I was in no real hurry.

2 staircases and 1 tripping incident later, I make it to the first graders. "Good afternoon Mrs.G," I greeted to first grade teacher, followed by a kind response and many little voices repeating my name. Most of them ran up to hug me and others asked if I could help them out with worksheets and RC tests.

I helped them for about 10 minutes before we started out for recess.

I met up with Chris in the hall, still shushing and keeping little kids in line. He had to do the same. We started with small chat, followed by little ones tugging my jacket sleeves in order to get me to tie their shoes. We headed out and took up the two swings, since the youngens don't go on them anyways. We finally saw Star and Tey out on the track around the football field, and giggled a bit when Star tripped on his untied shoelaces. Unfortunately, before we could talk, we had to get the kids in. Chris and I ran into our classrooms and readied the kids for dismissal. Back into the hall, then out to the bus loop, then onto the bus.

Since the bus was separated into half boys, half girls, I sat with a little third grader named Katie, while Chris and Star sat in the seat across from me. Tey was one seat behind, stuck with a little bratty boy. Finally we all got off at our stop, and luckily we brought our bikes to the sides of the road. We all rode home after the bus passed.

Later on, I got a text from Chris saying that he found a cool forest that we could explore. I got my bike out and rounded everyone up. We rode to this forest, which was a short bike ride away, and began to walk through.

Star freaked out when he saw a bobcat, but that was typical Star. I got used to the bobcats and coyotes and rattlesnakes by this time, and I'm pretty sure Tey and Chris were used to it since they came from Australia.

After 30 minutes or so, I tripped on something. The guys stopped to help me up, and upon getting back on my feet, I noticed something glimmering in the soil. I dug it out.

What I found was an old looking journal. It had a necklace sticking out, like an amulet or something of the sort. Chris and Tey marveled at it, meanwhile Star passed it off as some cheap, fake, plastic toy. We immediately rode back home, where I proceeded to wash off the amulet and clean off the journal.

Welp, that's pretty much all for now. Find out what happens next chapter! Until then, stay curious, readers.
