Why am I one of the Five?
I often wonder to myself. Why am I one of the Five? Why couldn't I be just a simple school girl who would burn her ridiculous straw hat on the last day of the school year?
But, no. I had to be one of the Five!
How I miss my old life! I miss school, I miss Aidan, I miss Scarlett Adams. I miss myself more than I can even say.
I hate being one of the Five. Sometimes I wonder if there has been some mistake. But I know that I'd be stalling if I think that way. And I don't like stalling.
If I had not been a gatekeeper then my parents would have been with me, both my parents.
Why couldn't I just lead an ordinary life? Why do I have to be special? Sometimes I think that this is a nightmare but I am wrong. The Scarlett Adams going to school, playing hockey, having friends was a dream.
I soon saw a friend in Lohan. But I was wrong. He was protecting me because I am one of the Five, not because I am Scarlett Adams. I wanted Matt with me, to help me. But he was also never there.
I have to face this ordeal alone.
The boys have each other. Lohan doesn't care. And Richard, Richard is good. He is like a friend; such a rare thing! He's trying to help me because I am Scarlett Adams, not because I am one of the Five. I am grateful to have him by my side.
But I can't help wondering: Why am I one of the Five?
