Megan's POV
I am in English studies and bored out of my mind. My thoughts wanders to the future. You see I recently downloaded an app that apparently can take you the past or future. I shouldn't get my hopes up as it is probably fake.
"Megan am I boring you?"
Ohh shit its my English teacher.
"Err no miss..."
"Then why do you look half a sleep?"
I think on what I should say.
"I was reciting a scene from Romeo and Juliet."
"Well we are doing that now so if you was paying attention you would have known that."
"Sorry miss"
I need to know if Lucy or Verity know anything about this app. I can't ask Verity as she doesn't come to this school so Lucy is my only option. Its near home time though so I decide to write a note.
'Hi Lucy, have u heard of this time travel app? I don't know what to make of it.'
I hand the note to Iman and tell her to pass it along to Lucy. 30 seconds later and Iman hands me the other note.
'Hi Megan, yeah I have heard of the app but apparently its a bit dodgy. Are u going 2 try it out?'
'I might try it tonight.'
English finishes and I head home with Lucy and Iman. Lucy starts talking about her plans for the weekend while my imagination starts to take over on what I might discover in the future or past. I could find the cure for cancer or meet my mother as a teen. The next thing I realize, I am home.
I have decided to go to the year of The Selection as I want to see the future and The Selection is my favorite thing in the world. If you haven't read it you haven't lived. Its about a 35 girls who get picked for the chance to compete for the heart of Prince Maxon Schreave. But for one of the girls, America Singer, getting picked is a nightmare as her heart belongs to her secret boyfriend, Aspen Leger. But as he is a caste below her it is not the thing that is common so she has no choice but to go. At first she finds the Prince as a rich, spoiled person but realizes that is not the case and gradually falls for him.
I pack some clothes, toiletries and money plus dollars and euros (as I going to go to America using the app). I then say bye to my Mom and Nan (as they think I am going to a sleepover) and I go to Lucy's house to try it out.
I load the app. I enter the date and where I want to go. I connect it to the box that I had to buy.
"Megan, the app is a rip off. Why are you even bothering?" Asked Lucy.
"Because I don't give up without trying."
"Well if this does work I will miss you."
"Thanks, I will visit often. Plus if I can't come back and my Mom finds me missing try to explain what happened."
"I will."
I grab my backpack and press start. A neon light makes a circle around me.
"My god Megan, your fading"
"Its working? Well I will see you soon Lucy."
"Bye Megan."
She gives me one last hug and then everything outside of the bubble goes dark.
