Ally's POV: I'm Allyson Dawson, a poor girl who has a wretched stepmother, and two stepsisters. The two STEPsisters are alright, besides the fact that they can be a bit cruel sometimes. I'm a fifteen year old girl.

My necklace was a family heirloom, which my real mother gave me before the horrible "accident" caused by my soon-to-be stepmother.

My two sisters, or stepsisters, are Trish and Tilly. My mom, or stepmom is Cassidy. My dad is Dallas, who seems not to care that his one daughter is stuck at home with three massive ego-maniacs.

"Ally, wash our clothes." Cassidy handed me a basket full of dirty clothes. I rolled my eyes and scoffed. "Oh, Ally, and can you do these?" I scoffed as she handed me a list of chores. The list contained these items:

() Buy groceries.
() Make dinner.
() Wash laundry for the week.
() Buy dress for Tilly, size 9.
() Pick up book for Trish, The Man and The Fragments.
() Record TV show, The Man and The Fragments, ep 8.

"Do these tonight, or you will be punished. Trish, Tilly, let us go to the spa." Cassidy opened the door. "Bye Ally." Trish whispered as she followed Cassidy out the door.

The doorbell rang, I ran to the door. "Who is it?" the boy revealed himself as the mailman. I opened the door. "Hi ma'am." he had rugged hair, ruffled and blonde. He looked poor, as any mailman would. I picked up the mail as he left. "Bye, mailman!" I waved as he left.

I laughed, flipping through the mail and closing the door. "Cassidy's, Cassidy's, Cassidy's. Mine? Mine?" I noticed two letters with my name on them. That's strange, I barely get mail. I open the first one.

Ally Dawson,

Your eyes sparkle in the sunlight,
With all the love in God and War.
Your smile lightens up the universe.
With all the forgiveness that God gave you.
"All's fair in Love and War," they say,
That's cool, but forgive me if I disagree.
Will you meet me,
By the willow trees at midnight,
With the same smile and laughter,
All is forgiven.

That's so sweet, I wonder who would send me a poem? I opened the second envelope. It was a concealed letter.

Dear Ally Dawson,

I wish to meet you at the forest tonight. Will you meet me at 9? I need to talk to you.

Thanks,
A. Moon.

A. Moon? Who's A. Moon? I went about the day, wondering who was A. Moon. I went to the library to pick up the book that Trish wanted, as I crossed off the second thing on my list.

() Buy groceries.
() Make dinner.
() Wash laundry for the week.
() Buy dress for Tilly, size 9.
(X) Pick up book for Trish, The Man and The Fragments.
() Record TV show, The Man and The Fragments, ep 8.

Now I need to visit the store to pick up groceries. What can I make dinner with? Horseradish, kraft cheese, gouda cheese, vegetables. I'm gonna make soup with these ingredients. What can I make an actual dinner with?

Salad, I know! Lettuce, string cheese, ranch dressing, croutons, and some meatballs too. I know that's not vegan, but I can't let my mother and sisters starve, even though they're annoying.

I crossed off the first thing on the list as I went to the store to buy Tilly's dress.

(X) Buy groceries.
() Make dinner.
(X) Wash laundry for the week.
(X) Buy dress for Tilly, size 9.
(X) Pick up book for Trish, The Man and The Fragments.

I already washed the clothing so that's a check. Now to make dinner and record Trish and Tilly's favorite TV show.

I checked the time, it was 6 p.m. There's still time! Once I went home, I recorded the TV show and quickly made dinner, the soup and the salad. I got dressed, and left a note.

Cassidy, Trish, Tilly,

I made dinner, enjoy! Salad is in fridge. Heat the soup at 2 minutes, the soup is frothy so I hope you stir it first.

Love,
Ally...

I smiled as I checked off the last two things on my list. Free, I'm free! Yay! I went to the forest at 8:35 p.m., to be early for the meeting of A. Moon. When 9 rolled around, the same blonde boy came.

"Uh, hi. Are you A. Moon?" he nodded. He was wearing a black hoodie, with the hood on. "I am a moon, if that's what you're wondering." he laughed and I laughed along. "No, no. I'm Austin Moon." he said, revealing his soft brown eyes.

"I'm Ally Dawson, nice to meet you." I shook his hand.

"I got these for you." Austin revealed some flowers hidden behind his back. I was flattered, I blushed. "Thanks. What school do you go to?" he processed. "Well since I'm a 'special' child, my mom and dad have me in a private high school." he spoke.

"Were you in a public school before?" I asked. "Well it's hard to say, but I think so. My parents are strict so they want my education first before my first relationship, it's kind of sad."

I checked the time, 9:20. "I have to go, Austin. See you tomorrow." he waved goodbye as I ran home. "Shoot, shoot. They're home!" I ran home, panicked. I ran upstairs, straight to bed after they opened the front door.

I obviously showered, brushed and combed my hair and teeth, and changed before I went into bed. I put the two letters in my little box, of course. Good night, world.
