Lily Rose

chapter 1

Hi, I'm Lily. I am 18 years old. I'm from Florida and live with my foster mom and dad in a tiny house on the Keys. I'm in 12 grade and go to high school with my best friend Maya. I have a crazy life but don't we all. When I was a baby my foster family found me in a field crying all alone but then the Webs found me they took me in as their own. My foster parents are an older couple in their 50's. They had no kids but they always wanted a family so they took me in. I grew up like any other kid. I have long wavy black hair with green eyes. The only thing that is weird for a teen girl is that I'm really tall, 5 foot 9.

I have to go to school but I'll tell you what happened later...

The school was fun, I talked with my friend Maya.

"What is this for, Maya '' I said.

''It's a school high school for special kids that are gifted. My crazy aunt owns it ... for all I know. I am not going but, you know my aunt, she loves you and you are really smart.'' said Maya

'' Tell your aunt I will think about it ... it seems cool and I love your aunt, she is so much fun and she is so nice '' I said

''I will miss you! You will have to call me if there is any cute guy, it will be so much better there then going to this all-girls school, '' said Maya

'' All you think about boys! I have to ask my mom and dad if I can go.'' I really think she only thinks of boys though...

'' Well what else is there to think of? I wish I can go but my aunt said it is only for really smart people so ... and never mind the boys will all be nerds.'' Maya said.

I drove home and gave my mom the thing Maya gave me.

''Mom, I'm home,'' I gave my mom a big hug.

'' How as school honey '' mom asked.

'' Fun like always. My grade went up and Maya gave me this '' I showed it to her.

'' Well if your grades get any higher you will have A++++ and what is Mrs.

Roses school of the gifted ... do you want to go? Maya's mom told me about and it sounds fun and it will be harder for you, so pick what you want to do. It is free for you and you get to the dorm. You can leave when you want and it is only 5 hours away.'' said mom

'' I think I will go but what will dad say? And you are getting older and I want to be here to help you.'' I know they are not getting younger. I don't want to leave them.

'' You need fresh air and dad, I will talk to him about it. So let's go shopping." We head to the car ''you will start tomorrow and I got u some really cute clothes and decorations for your room. Also, your roommate's name is Sam. I think short for Samantha. You should get her a gift to say thanks for opening up her room for you .'' said mom happy

''mom thank you and why didn't you tell me when you found out.'' I was a little confused on why she wanted to send me to this school she has never seen but then in the car, she says '' you are special and we want you to find out on your own how you are. we can't really tell you why but Roses and Lilies grow together."
