The day broke with a load sound and a flash of light. It was something that Lacey had never seen before. "Mom, I'm heading out to check something," she shouted. Lacey quickly got up and dressed so as not to miss this phenomenon of water falling from the sky. Lacey seemed to fly down the stairs and barrel out the front door. Lacey ran to the same spot where she saw the sunrise.
There she laid in the grass letting the droplets of water collect and run off her face. It was a feeling that she had never experienced before, somehow it was calming and soothing. Suddenly, there was a flash of light and then a load boom. Lacey might not have been in the human world for long but, she knew that a load sound coming all of a sudden meant trouble. She rushed back to her house to eat some breakfast and to get her things for school.
Lacey ate breakfast quickly and grabbed her things, "Wait, before you go I need to remind you that I'll be taking care of some arenas today so take your keys," her mother said. "Ok, thanks for the reminder. I need to get going or I'll be late and trust me you don't want to make my teacher mad," Lacey replied.
Lacey ran down the street towards the school to meet up with the group. Suddenly, someone stepped out in front of her. Lacey barrels into him knocking both of them down to the ground. "Hey, why don't you watch where your going" the boy exclaimed. "Sorry I'm in a hurry I didn't mean to, My name's Lacey." "Nice to meet you I guess I'm Jose," the boy replied. "Where were you headed in such a hurry," Jose inquired. "Oh, I was heading to my school, see if I'm late my teacher will be really mad," she replied. "What a stroke of luck I'm heading there too, Who's your teacher?" "Mrs. Nah," Lacey said with a chill down her spine. "Oh, I completely understand I had her last year, I made her mad a couple times," said Jose. Suddenly out in the distance they heard the sound of a bell. "Oh no, I'm gonna get it now, it was nice to meet you Jose," said Lacey as she started to run. "Wait, would you like to meet me here tomorrow and we can walk together," asked Jose. "I'd like that I'll be seeing you then," replied Lacey.
Lacey finally made it to school, but she was dreading going into class because she knew what she was going to get. Lacey got to the door and knocked, "Come in" she heard from the other side. She opened the door and saw that the lesson was on a time period known as the Dark Ages. "Nice of you to join us," said Mrs. Nah. I'll deal with you after class, for now take your seat and take the notes for the day. Lacey did as she was instructed and couldn't wait to tell her friends what had happened this morning.
After class Lacey explained to Mrs. Nah what happened and she seemed to understand, but she still gained a day cleaning the room because of her tardiness. Lacey didn't mind because it was her fault she was late and she took responsibility for her actions. Lunch rolled around and she told her friends everything from seeing the water fall out of the sky, which she found out was called rain, to meeting Jose. When they heard everything it gave way to a multitude of questions. After answering all of them the day was finally over and Lacey headed home.
Lacey got home after walking slowly and pulled out her keys. She opened the door and went up to her room to drop off her stuff. She couldn't wait for her mom to come home to tell her all that happened, minus getting in trouble. Lacey was walking to the kitchen when she realized that her mind was constantly on Jose. She found herself looking forward to tomorrow morning more so then usual. Why am I thinking about him? Is it possible that I like him after meeting him only once? She thought to herself.
