I was up in my room, reading a book titled Skellig. It was weird name, I had to admit, but fit the strange story quite well. So, a little about myself, I love strange stories to start. Especially when it's not very similar to stories I've read or seen before. My hair goes down to my lower back and is chamoisee-fallow brown colored with soft curls lingering at the bottom of my hair all around. I have amethyst purple eyes that shine with unyielding ambition. I am five feet, three inches tall and have flawless golden tan skin that radiates like light. Unexpectedly, I heard my father yelling for me.

"Chlora!"

My ears piped up as I got up off my bed to go downstairs. My room was all the way up on the second floor, while my father was down at the ground floor. Boy, could that man yell.

"Yes, Daddy?"

"The mail's here."

"Thanks Dad," I said as I kissed my father on the cheek and walked back up to my room. Hmm... Stuff from Guess, Seventeen magazine, like twenty late birthday cards, the bakery, Guns magazine, school! ... Geez.

"How do I have so much mail? I never even get half this much..." -_-"

I opened my school letter from Sines' Private Academy for the Gifted. This is what it read:

I was so excited at that moment that I could barely move until I finally shouted, "Yes!"

"Chlora?"

I turned to see my father standing just outside my doorway. When did he...? I ran up to him and embraced him while yelling joyously, "I got into Sines'!"

My father just chuckled at my reaction and hugged me back.

"When do you have to be there by?"

"I need to be there on at least August 14th to get my stuff. Then, after that, I guess they'll just let me know."

~Next Morning: July 26th: Monday~

"Well, you've got less than three weeks. Don't you think you should start packing?"

"Oh, right," I bellowed as I began to move things from all over my room.

This was going unnoticed to me, but my father was just standing still at the doorway, staring at me in complete awe.

'She reminds me so much of you Autumn,' my father thought in nostalgic remembrance.

~Later: August 9th: Tuesday~

Two weeks had already passed after I recieved the letter. I was too excited to wait until August 14th, since I could go before that time anyway. I couldn't stop talking about it the day before and already had all of my things packed, so my father surprised me by getting tickets so we could leave today. My dad and I had a long drive, and we had the radio off and just talked most of the way. We finally departed and left our beloved city on Earth, aweing at the scene of it as we travelled further away. I and my father knew that it would be quite a while before we reached Twilight Town. Dad decided it was best for us to take a nap so it would be easier for me to adjust to the time change once I arrived. He said he had to make some calls before he decided to join me. I plugged in my earbuds and drifted into a dreamless sleep.

~Next Day: August 10th: Wednesday~

Once I had woken up, I turned my head and noticed my father's head near mine, slobber lightly dribbling from his bottom lip. Someone must be very relaxed. I began to giggle at this.

"Ew... Dad, wake up," I said, still in my cheery tone.

"Huh?" he asked, still a bit groggy.

I responded while peering out the window, "We're landing."

He leaned a bit over my lap to look outside the window as well. As we landed, my dad began to say there were some important things he needed to tell me before he left back home. I nodded, and we walked over to pick up the rest of my luggage.

"I've called up an old friend to come escort you. The school will let you stay at the dorms until school starts. His name is Cloud. Uh, well, I guess it might be a bit strange to call him an old friend since he's actually more around your age."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I think you'll like him. Despite his appearance at times, he's actually pretty awesome. Anyway, there he is now. Don't forget to call me every now and then to let me know how you're doing."

"Mmkay."

A slick black car parked nearby, and a blonde boy with striking blue green eyes stepped out of it. He had dark colored clothes on and was about four inches taller than me. My father and I and the boy named Cloud walked toward each other.

"Honey, this is Cloud Strife. Cloud, this is my daughter Chlora."

"Hi Cloud. Nice to meet you," I greeted as I took Cloud's hand and shook it.

"Nice to finally meet you. I've heard so much."

"Alright you two. It's high time I get going now," my father said as he walked away after giving me one final hug.

"Bye Daddy," I yelled as I held my smaller suitcase in front of me.

"Goodbye Mr. Symphony," Cloud said as he gave a small wave to my father.

"C'mon. I'll help you get your things."

"Oh! Thank you!"

As I began to grab my things, Cloud walked over to his car with two of my suitcases and opened his trunk. I had about two suitcases filled with clothes, one for hygienic products, and another two for my electronics. Those were pretty heavy. In my backpack, I had a few notebooks, a sketchbook, writing utensils, and some crayons and colored pencils.

"What about that bag by your feet?"

"Huh? Oh! Sorry, I forgot about that one."

I took my small suitcase with me and sat in the front passenger seat with the bag down by y feet.

"Um, you can put your bag in the backseat if you want..."

"Oh, no thank you. I'm fine with it up here. Thanks though."

He nodded and started the car, and we both clicked on our seatbelts. After about twenty minutes of driving, I began to gaze around.

"Hey, Cloud. Where are we going?"

"To the academy. It's all the way on the other side of Twilight Town. It's a pain sometimes because of the long drive, but having the school near Sunset Terrace is worth getting there. Sorry it's taking this long."

"Oh. I don't really mind the long drive. I was just wondering."
