Cheri: Today is the day!

She grabs her hairbrush and brushes back her shoulder length pink hair.

Cheri: Dang where's my new outfit?

She looks in her dresser, under her bed, in her closet. Nothing.

Cheri: Err… Wait, the bathroom!

Quickly, Cheri runs in the bathroom finding her purple tank top, dark red skirt, and black shorts.

Cheri: Yay!

She tosses them on and looks in her small bathroom mirror.

Cheri: I'm the only person with purple eyes *Sigh*

She looks over at the clock

Cheri: Crap, I'm late!

She grabs her small red backpack and leaves her house

She begins to speed walk by some of her villagers until she look over at a young girl and the girl's mom.

Girl: Mommy, look at this flower!

She picks a pink rose from the ground.

Girl: Isn't pretty?

Mom: Its sure is.

Cheri squeezes her backpack strap and continues to walk again.

Cheri: *To self* I wish I knew my parents or anyone that's related to me.*

Cheri flash backs as she remembers her past. She has been living on her own all her life without any help from anyone.

She looks over at a tall white building, Chi School. The first bell begins to ring.

Cheri: AH!! Better hurry!!

She run passes some kids and heads inside of the building.

Cheri: What room number was my room…

She grabs her school paper from her bag.

Cheri: 118, ok.

She looks around and looks up at a sign saying 118, Relieve, she walks in the classroom.

Teacher: Miss Shan?

Cheri: Yeah, that's me.

Teacher: Your seat is in the second row by the window.

Silently, she walks over to her desk and sits down.

Teacher: Now that everyone is here, we can start.

Kid: Start what??

Teacher: Me and some protectors of the village are going to make some teams.

Cheri: Why teams?

Teacher: As future Petal village's protectors, you must get use to working with others. Most protectors are teamed in three man squads.

Cheri: *Thinking* It doesn't matter who I'm paired up with, everyone in this room don't like me, which I don't know why.*

The teacher grabs a stack of papers and leaves the room. Everyone starts to talk besides Cheri. She doesn't want any teams but if it helps her come closer to her dream, to become the best Petal protector, then she'll do it.

Kid1: *Whispering* Hey, is that the girl with no parents?

Kid2: *Whispering back* Yeah, what a freak!

Cheri turns her hands into fists ready to punch the living daylights out of them.

Teacher: Ok kids I'm back, please sit down.

Everyone sits down, listening carefully to what the teacher will say.

Teacher: The protectors and I have decided on the teams that will complete each other the most.

Teacher: Team 1is….

Cheri slowly bites down on her lip.
