UP FROM HERE – INTRO

"Ah, I can't believe it's the first day of school already!" Amber said to herself. Soon she would be going to Applegate High, by herself, since her parents disappeared. For years, Amber had taken care of herself, with occasional assistance from her neighbors Alan and Chloé. Once she was ready they had planned to walk together to the bus stop. But Mother Nature had other plans, as it started to rain.
Suddenly, as Amber was just getting her uniform on, she heard frantic knocking at her door. Rushing to the door with her uniform still not completely on, she opened the door to see Alan and Chloé soaking wet. Amber looked at them trying not to laugh. "I told you not to leave your umbrella's here" she smirked. "It was only supposed to be a 10% chance of rain!" Alan snapped back. Amber let them in while finishing buttoning up her shirt and made herself some cereal. "You want any?" she asked. "Nah, I already ate." Alan said, While Chloé sat down and Amber poured her a bowl.
After they finished eating their small breakfast, Alan looked at his watch. "Were going to be late..." he muttered. He grabbed his umbrella and stood by the door. Amber decided to put on her raincoat, and as she read through her agenda book, she noted to herself that since it is raining, the orientation was going to be inside. She then looked over at Chloé, who was just sitting in the chair staring into space. Amber looked at her, "Don't you have an umbrella or raincoat?" "Not really", she replied "But the rain doesn't bother me. So I usually don't get one, unless it rains hard." Amber then looked out the slightly ajar door and noticed it was raining harder. She then turned back and said, "Unless you want to be sick on the first day you should take one of mine." Alan nodded, seeming to focus on something outside.
