[ZERO] Is This The Beginning ?

      I am Amber Swinchie , not a common last name, right? Well, it's a family name and it's been passed down for generations. The weird thing is ; its not even written down in history. I checked a few years back and I asked my mom why our last name wasn't heard of. She looked at me , stunned, and asked, "What do you mean 'not heard of'? Everyone knows us, they would  obviously know our last name ". After our "conversation" , she gave me a look to shut me up that had that " I am hiding something " face. She seem very suspicious, like what she hiding was extremely serious. So, after that day, I let that name thing go. 


     So, let me tell you about myself. I'm Amber Swinchie, as you all ready know. I'm fourteen (turning fifteen in one week). I have four  best friends Alex, Maya , Emma , and Geo. We have been best friends since diapers , well , thanks to our moms of course. Our moms have been friends since diapers too. And so did their moms and so on. It's like we were all meant to be friends since the beginning of time , well because it sounds like it of course. And so on with my life. I live in Philadelphia and go to school at Anni Aberum High School. But me and all my friends are starting a new school year in a different school, to make things extremely worse it's a boarding sadly. My older siblings use to go  there , they are graduated this year. I barely see them. Plus every time I ask about their school they always avoid answering them. All of our parents went to that school as well. But I haven't see any evidence of them going there.  There's no pictures ,no yearbook , there's nothing at all I even ask them about the school and they all so avoid answering. So, we are basically leaving home for the next three years knowing nothing we are getting into. I ask one last time. "Why are going to a new school." All I got was "it for a good reason." So, It's not because we did something bad or anything. And we aren't moving and it's not "for our own good." It's just because we are. No answer, no questions. That's what my mom said. In other news, I'm the youngest out of our little "gang."


     And now my inside life. I got three brothers and four sisters , one cat and a dog , two gold fish , one hamster and one turtle. I know , it's like a fucking zoo where I live. Literally. A day never goes by without someone yelling or something breaking , I wouldn't be surprised if this house exploded. 


     So, let me talk to you about my social area circle of my life. You know about my friends and all so let me tell you more. So, first, I will tell you about Alex, he's my main best friend. Don't get wrong I do care for the others but Alex is like number one on my list. He's the most amazing person you will ever meet. He always has my back. He's funny, smart, and has these gorgeous eyes. One can just talk to him just for a second and it's like you knew him for years. Talking like this is making it seem like I like him or something. But I DON'T, why would I like someone who I knew for years? Who says that I'm like their sister? It's really hard to break that " your like family to me " seal. More like family zoned if you asked me. 


     Well, the next person out of our group is Emma. I should have put her first on the list but I feel she belongs here , not as a bad thing but. I feel she goes and fits here just right. Emma is my best friend. She's my number one. (Even though I said Alex was ). She's like my sister. My big sister, but I can't exactly say that because I already two big sisters who are exactly the same. There are twins. But Emma is not any person you can just call best friend. When she's she your best friend , she will make sure she deserved that title on her name. She's a real keeper. And love I her. One of the best people I know. 


     Another friend there is , is Maya the legally blonde type. She has a extreme mean girl vibe and yet a bit of a air head. You can look at her once a just think she will run you over. I think it's more of her natural standing bitch face. But in reality she's as nice as they come. From her golden blonde hair to her pale skin and vivid freckles. To that fucked up brain she has. You got to love her.


      Last but not least, there's Geo. He's that quiet , don't fuck with me type. And that's the biggest personality. Not very much to talk about him, remember he's the silent but deadly type. This is some information on my inner life. 


   Life was doing me good. Until school started. When school started , my life was a living hell. And that whole entire day was just plain weird. I woke up that morning and it's like everything changed more ; like I felt different. Like some new vibe to me. More like I'm reborn. But it doesn't stop there that morning when I was watering my plant,  I simply touched to see and feel how much it's grown since I purchased it and it immediately died. If you would have saw me it would have seemed that I saw a ghost. But even though I didn't see a ghost , I did felt this strange energy around me. Nothing I have felt before. I was so convinced that I was seeing things or having first day of school anxiety so I didn't even mention it to my parents. In the morning , I just sat down at the table and acted as if nothing had happened. As if I wasn't a plant murderer. And that day I knew my life was going to change, for the better or the worse. Mostly , for the worst.
