This is the story of a girl who has a lot to worry about

This is the story of a girl who has a lot to worry about. You know? Grades, Sports, Boys….The normal stuff. Then there's the fact that she will be one of the few people left on the planet in 5 years. She is one of the uh…how many was it? I think 8 hopes of earth…In 5 years something will happen and everybody will die but her and about 7 other people. Yet still this girl continues to pretend like she has a normal life. But wait a second…I'm getting way too ahead of myself….Let's go back to when things got really interesting.

On one cold day in April, Mackenzie found out her friend had been lying to her for 3 months. She couldn't believe that she had been so stupid to think that someone would actually believe she was an acolyte. All those nights Mackenzie was up late worrying…They were all for nothing. She should've listened to Bret. The next day Mackenzie was told about the 4 hopes of Earth and that she was one. Just as any kid would, she freaked.

Mackenzie stopped trying to sleep and focused on what she would ask Bret the next day. The she realized what his reaction would be. It's always the same. He says he doesn't know anything even though Mackenzie knows he does. Then, with thoughts of Bret and the future clogging up her mind, Mackenzie finally fell asleep only to have to deal with the problems again in the dream world.

In her dream Mackenzie was walking down a red carpet. She looked up and saw an altar. Standing there, ring in hand, was Eli. One of the other hopes. She cooperated and said the vows. Instead of saying "I do" she said "Pinch me." The priest obeyed and Mackenzie woke up. She didn't get anymore sleep that night. The following day, Mackenzie was told some very important information. Her friend Anthony….
