Chapter One: I Found Treasure?

Donna's POV

"Why can't you be successful for once in your life?" my mom yelled at me.

"I am successful. I've got good clothes, good friends, I make half the girls in my class jealous and all the guys want me." I retorted while counting off the reasons on my fingers.

"Well you seem to have good clothes and no good grades, you don't know how much your friends hate you, and the other half of girls can always beat your sissy ass up! Why can't you be my successful daughter I can brag about to others than a whore?"

"You're the whore here!" I yelled. "All you do is nag, nag, nag. You don't even try anymore. Ever since dad-"

"Get out of my house! Just get out!" my "mom" screamed at me. I didn't even hesitate to march out of that hellhole.

Ever since dad- what is that in the grass? It looks like it's glowing pink, almost like it's a spinel crystal. As I took a closer look I realized it was a spinel crystal. I wonder how that got there? I should keep it in my pocket where my mom can't see it. If my mom finds this crystal she'll put it on Ebay faster than you can say Ebay. This is really rare.

Kim's POV

"Kim, wasn't I amazing or what?" asked my five year old sister Rebecca. Her black curls bounced happily onto her shoulders.

"Becca, you were more than amazing. You were spectacular; especially with that cute French accent. Everyone loved it especially when they heard that voice." I said. It actually was true; I don't want to be mean but Rebecca was one of the best and she had one of the most lines to memorize.

"Yeah you were great. Almost as good as me." Kim's vain fourteen year old brother Derek boasted.

"Derek don't even try." said their mother warningly.

They had just come back from a mini play held at Rebecca kindergarten yard. Rebecca's teacher Ms. Walfred had written the play herself and she had given Rebecca the role of a confused French woman stranded in America for a day.

When we got inside I started to take off my yellow flats(yes I wear flats aren't I a girl?) when I realized something. I couldn't hear the usual ding sound from my anklet while taking off any pair of shoes. I looked down to find my silver chain missing from my leg. I ran outside imediately and found it in the grass. As I bent down to pick it up I notice that there is some kind of yellow glowing rocknext to my anklet. We had to study crystals in class today and this rock looked just like one of the crystals we saw in class. What was it called... a citrine crystal! Wow. I never thought I would find my own crystal and then actually keep it. Well should I keep it. I did find it fair a square so in my pocket you go.

" Kim, come set the table for dinner." my mom yelled.

" I'm coming!" I answered her and ran back into the house. As I ran I could feel the crystal inside my pocket.

Milton's POV

" Milton, that was such a nice study date. Same time next week?" asked my beautiful, smart girlfriend Julie.

" Sure thing, Julie." I answered. After we studied together(unlike most people we actually did study) we had headed to Falafel Phil's for some falafels to cool down our hardworking brains. Even nerds need breaks once in a while. So either way after that we began to walk home together. Now here we are at Julie's house. I decided I would give her a goodnight kiss.

" Bye Julie. I love you" I said.

" Love you too" She answered. Then she walked inside her house.

My house isn't that far luckily so I was there in about five minutes. When I was going inside I slipped on something in my yard and fell face first into the grass. Hmm. I never tasted grass and it was disgusting. I quickly spit out the turfs of grass in my mouth then I looked for what I had slipped on. It looked like a blue crystal. Our science teacher was obsesed with crystals so we learned about them today in class. If I was correct it should've been a sapphire. I should take a better look at it with my microscope. I went inside with so many questions in my head.

Jack's POV

" Jack!"

" Yeah, mom?"

" Could you please get some milk and sugar from the grocery store?"

" Sure. I'll be back in a few minutes."

I was walking out the door to go to the grocery store when something red caught my eye. It looked like a red stone. As I took a closer look it seemed to be a ruby. How I know that is Mr. Hansen's fault. He spent the whole lesson teaching us about crystals. I decided to put it in my jacket pocket where it should be kept safely until I come back. Then I'll find a place in my room for it.

Jerry's POV

"Hehehe. Mrs. Burnstemwhateverhernameis was so easy to trick today. All you need is some "major" acting skills and to her about one of the most classic lies ever. You parked your car on a cat. And before you know it she'll be running out to the parking lot screaming I squished a cat! I squished a cat! Trust me, with her it works almost every single time."

"Cool. I'll keep that in mind, Jerry." My eleven year old sister Annemarie assured me. I was telling her how I got out of detention today.

"Now hurry inside. Vamonos." I said. I gave her a little shove into the house.

As I was going inside I saw a glint of green hiding in the grass. I reached out for it. It looks like a special stone. I don't know what it is but I think it has something to do with something we learned in science today. I don't know what the subject was. I was too busy playing on my gameboy. I think that's how I got itno detention today. OMG I keep on saying today! I'm confused.

Nobody POV

As the five went to their various locations each(except Jerry) had many questions but one stood out. Where did these crystals come from?
