"Do you now the answer to the question Samantha?" the teacher asked.
'Ick' she thought to herself. She hated being called Samantha. Everyone called her Sam. She hated teachers. She hated school! It was only 7:45. Wasn't the day over with yet?
"Well Samantha, I'm waiting."
"No Ms. Falco. I didn't even hear what the question was."
She hated social studies. It was pointless. All they learned about was people that were dead. Why did she have to know about them?
"I asked if you had watched the news lately."
Thinking it was a homework assignment that she had forgotten to do, she quickly answered "Yes I have."
"Well then, what have you heard?"
"Ummmmm..." she tried to think. She never watches the news. Who would waste time watching the news? "ummm. the weather has been pretty good lately."
Ms. Falco rolled her eyes. "That's great Samantha, but next time, try not to WATCH ONLY THE WEATHER!"
'Yeah yeah yeah' she thought to herself. She had been letting her grades slip a little. Okay, a lot. She just didn't care anymore. It was 2003 and she was going to be fifteen soon. Who needed school?
Sam used to be a good student. Always studies, and always did her homework, when she was younger. She used to be a happy child, believing in magic and watching Disney movies every chance she got, but for some reason, she had taken a liking to 'Aladdin' most of all. She couldn't explain it. Maybe it was the funny Genie, the brave hero, a talking bird, or if it was just the music.
Sadly, every child must grow up. She started to realize certain things. People that were close to her died. School started getting harder. Especially with drugs coming into the picture. She never tried anything, she was clean. She hated seeing people she knew since kindergarten being arrested in the middle of class, so she never touched the stuff. She realized that she lived in New York. She wasn't in the city, she was actually about 50 miles or so away, but she was still a New Yorker. Teenagers who enjoy Disney weren't exactly a common thing to find. So, maybe it was deaths in the family, or maybe it was just the pressures of life, but Disney and magic got pushed aside. It was sad really. She had other stuff to deal with. She felt she had to grow up. She wasn't a little kid anymore, hoping to go on a magic carpet ride. She had almost forgotten completely about her little "Aladdin obsession" until that one day in social studies.
"Well since Samantha doesn't know anything about it, will anyone else like to fill her in?" Not a soul raised their hand. "Oh, come on people!" Still, nobody answered.
Then, the school geek finally said, "Um, are you talking about the grave site they found in Arabia?"
"Yes! That is exactly what I'm talking about! Do you want to tell the class?"
'Great, more dead people' Sam thought to herself.
"Okay then. Well, yes there has been a grave site finding in Arabia. It was found by accident by a traveler. No one has any idea who it is. It may be royalty, it may be slaves, but no one has ever found anything telling us that there would be a city in this location."
"What do the graves say?" Someone screamed across the room.
" From what I have heard, the only ones they have found so far that were intact were two graves that were next to each other. One said Aladdin, and the other said Jasmine."
'What!?!?!' she thought. 'There's no such thing as Aladdin and Jasmine! They're made up! Make believe! Not real!'
"It's true" she said as if reading her mind. "That's what it says. It's in Arabic, but that's what it says."
"Have they found anything else?" Sam asked.
"Not to my knowledge, but I hear that they are going to dig up the graves and see if they can find out more about these very old people."
'They're going to dig up the graves? They can't do that!'
The bell rang. finally! She went to lunch and all of her classes throughout the day, but she couldn't stop thinking about social studies.
She was finally home! A whole weekend with just her and her friends! Perfect! Since most of them had hobbies (dance, singing, and sports), nobody would be home for a couple of hours. So she decided to start her weekend off by going online.
"Oh crap" she said. "Stupid buddy list won't come up... Now the whole computer is frozen. Wonderful."
Then, something weird happened. A website came up, but she didn't click on anything. She decided to read it anyway.
"Aladdin Central" she said to nobody "by some girl named Heather. This person needs a life. Who sits there and makes a web site about a fictional character," but something made her stay there and look through it. "Wow! Quotes, clipart, song lyrics, she really has everything! And I had totally forgotten about that TV series I used to watch. Oh I remember that episode! This is fun, thinking of my childhood again." And then she realized what she had just said. "childhood". She shouldn't be doing this. This was her childhood. She was in high school now. What high school student would be at an Aladdin site? None that she knew of that's for sure. Well, it couldn't hurt right? After all, this person had obviously gone through a lot of trouble to put this up, so she might as well look at it. She made sure no one was going to come downstairs, and she stayed there. She didn't even answer instant messages from her friends. She just kept reading everything there was to know! She was on the computer for at least two hours.
"Well, it was fun for one day, but I should be going." She made sure no one was around, and when nobody was looking, she put it under her favorite places. ...................................
PLEASE REMEMBER TO R/R. CHAPTER 2 WILL BE UP SOON. I KNOW THIS WAS KIND OF BORING, BUT I HAD TO INTRODUCE THE MAIN CHARACTER.
