A high school student named Lux and her closest friends as well as other students lives changes drastically on one faithful night.
What they all thought was a very imaginative dream was in fact nothing but reality as they were chosen by the First...
I was heading home, it was the same path I always take. It's so dull, dark,dirty and depressing walking through here as I remember all the fights I got into, all the stealing I've done but also all my attempts to run away from home.... It's not my home, It'll never be my home!

I slowly make way to my place as I shuffle the keys in the pocket of my jeans. I pulled them out and used the main key to unlock the busted door as I aggressively push it open letting out a grunt. That door will never be fixed. It'll be remain broken like this home.
I take a deep breath and I immediately feel nauseated by the heavy smell of alcohol as I look at all the empty glass bottles on the floor in the living room.
"Jinx, I got a call from school." My ugh, mother told me. Wait, what? I hope it's not about what I did. Syndra said she'd take care of it so this doesn't happen! "What about?" I said raising an eyebrow acting innocent. "You know exactly what you did, you little brat!" She yelled at me in so close to my face as I could feel her alcoholic breath. She disgusts me. I hate it when she calls me that.
"Jinx, you've been expelled from almost every school in the city! I can't afford just to move to another city just because you can't behave for once in your damn life!"
"Life? My life? Wanna know, what's my life waking up in this place I hate, feeling out of place, not cared for, neglected, unappreciated and unloved by such a horrible mother! Actually, you don't even deserve that title!" I snapped at her letting out all the thoughts I kept in mind for so long.
"I'm a horrible mother? Says the child who always misbehave and never listens to any of her authorities! What am I going to do with you?" She says back angrily at me making me feel enraged as I bit my lip and clench my fist.
"We're going to the school tomorrow to talk to the principal and we're gonna find a way for you to stay at the school no matter what! And maybe even actually attend your classes!" She said in an overbearing voice. I'm getting fed up with this. Try to be in my place in those boring classes, you'll see what that's like!
As I was about to defend myself, she interrupted me with more yelling.
"Why did I have to get stuck with you? No wonder, your dad left us! It's all your fault! You're just a mistake and I wish you were never born!"
Words flew from her mouth that I never thought she'd even think, let alone say out loud. She knew instantly from the look in my eyes that it hit me as it left emotional pain behind those words. I've never felt this way, before. In that instant our relationship shattered into glassy shards. Nothing would ever be the same again.
I wanted to cry as rage filled my belly. I felt my ears getting hot. I glare at her then spat out "HOW DARE YOU?" She sneers at me then laughs only adding fuel to my wrath. "You think this is funny?" I snap. My mom glares at me with hatred in her cruel dull eyes. "You are an extremely stupid girl. Aren't you?" Our heated quarrel continues. It was definitely a war of words and who can hurt the other one worse. Both of us at each other throats like savage hungry dogs fighting over dominance. I can't believe she would mention my dad like that! I can't believe she would say such things!
"I HATE YOU!" I shouted. My shouting was a violence in the air, a way to take the anger and tension I had onto her. I didn't just raise his voice, my muscles tensed and she got right in close for maximum impact.
"GO TO YOUR ROOM, NOW!" A chill ran through my spine as she yelled back at me with just as much force. I couldn't take it anymore. My emotions turn jagged and my insides tight.
"Don't just stand there and cry in front of me. I don't care, now go! You're grounded, you little freak!" She yelled some more at me. Without, realizing water was streaming down my eyes. I quickly run my arm through my eyes to dry them as I rushed upstairs quickly to my room as more tears were streaming down my face like a waterfall.
I slammed the door loudly. I had never felt so alone, so lost... So incapable of even doing anything. And this was only the beginning, the beginning of the pain, the suffering and the endless line of emotions that were in store for me.
I cried even harder as I felt all my anger boiling up inside of me as a knot formed in my throat. How I hated this feeling. These feelings I've never felt before. I held onto my burning face as I let out more screams as I knocked over most of my possessions breaking things in my room, I'm sure I'll regret later but at that moment I didn't care. I threw myself face first into my pillow crying harder and louder than before into it. I then punched the pillow with force. "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!" I kept yelling every time I landed a strong punch into my dirty pillow soaked in tears. Why do I care? I don't want to care! I thought to myself as I couldn't yell anymore as my throat felt empty.
~The next morning
I couldn't sleep at all last night as nightmares haunted me keeping me awake as I couldn't help but think about yesterday's event. I feel so hungry as I wasn't allowed to have any food. I was very angry but also displease to walk into the school with this woman claiming I'm her mistake.
I kept my head down not wanting to look at anyone but I felt all eyes were on me as I was walking through the hallway with my .. mom.
"Isn't that the girl who caused all that damage, yesterday?" I heard a girl whisper. "Yeah, she said her name was Jinx." I heard another one whisper back. "She's insane! I wouldn't want to be her friend." I heard which I got to admit did sting a little. I bet Syndra doesn't even think I'm cool enough to be her friend. What am I saying? Friends? Who needs them? They're all jerks, screw 'em! I wish deep down I didn't care but I do, at least I can play the part. They don't know me, no one knows me.
I entered the principal's office as my teacher was also standing besides him. I am in so much trouble.
