Alyssa's Army
“Wow, I’ve never seen you eat before. I didn’t think you did.” Alyssa and her ‘cult’ (they honestly might as well be) had stopped by the empty table I was sitting at in our high school’s cafeteria. Alyssa reveled in her cliche mean girl speeches; like, at least have some originality. This part had been redone countless times in all of the movies and television shows. Alyssa was absolutely breathtaking; her shiny blonde hair always cascaded perfectly over her shoulders. But she was vindictive and, to me, all of that beauty had faded away due to that fact. It’s unfortunate how a lot of pretty peoples’ insides don’t match their outsides. It’s also unfortunate how quick people are to not only make snap judgments but to voice them. It’s insane how many people there are out there who say whatever is on their mind—they really go out and choose to bring people down. I never understood why people like Alyssa would put so much emphasis on appearance. I’ve realized that high school is a breeding ground for those kinds of people. And I genuinely hate those kinds of people.

The Answers
Introduction When I was little, I was vibrant. Energetic. Charismatic. And naturally, extremely imaginative. I would curate things that I never could now. I wouldn’t say I was naive at all. A lot of kids aren’t, but regardless, adults continue to underestimate them. Have they never seen the movie Orphan? Poltergeist? The Exorcist? They should fear us and be more cautious of us. We’re smarter and stronger than adults like to presume. I’ve never liked any of the adults in my life. Even now, I don’t feel like an adult or relate to them whatsoever. Thankfully, though, I’ve still maintained a lot of my curiosity and I really don’t think I’ll ever be rid of the childlike aura within me.

Sky Spy
I remember feeling a sense of dread as I looked up at the multiple shades of grey above me before quickly removing the heart-shaped locket from in front of my eye. The locket had been customized exactly to my liking, as any of us could do if we wanted to pay a little extra. It was a glittery, almost ethereal rose gold with pearls etched along the outline of the small, delicate heart-shaped diamond. These were our lifelines--we could not lose them (we’ll get into what happened if we did lose them later). The lockets kept us connected with each other and with what was happening around us. The weather seemed to be getting worse, and it was probably a good idea to head inside. The last thing I had wanted was to be carried away in a large gust of wind right before my high school senior prom. Before I have to go...up there. It was my only chance to experience something normal; something that people in the past used to be able to enjoy--something we haven’t enjoyed here on Earth in a long time. Priorities were different in 2410 and the community of Edenview definitely was eventful, but not in a good way. For a while, things had been normal. Chaotic, but structured. Safe, but boring. I remember sitting at my desk in my room with a pen, doing my daily journal entry. I felt so stuck and I didn’t understand the point of life. I still do and I still don’t. We’ve had a routine, but we’ve never relaxed or took the time to have fun. It was all about working. We all had our own roles to play. Once you turned eighteen, you were instructed to be a fly-er, meaning you had to partake in daily tasks 15,000 at the minimum in the air (more experienced fly-ers go as high as 45,000 feet--we’ll get to how later). You would think that in the future, the population would be less--however, it had actually increased overtime and it was majorly overpopulated. Life was more...intense.
