‘I wonder if I'll make any friends here,’ Annelise thought to herself as she walked along the path. She was always the shy misunderstood middle sister while her younger and older sisters went out to parties and had tons of friends. Annelise took a deep breath and opened the door to her room 140.
‘Wow! I’ve always wanted room like this! It's my dream room!’ she thought very excitedly. With the canopy over her bed and the beautiful carved desk she finally felt at home, more than she did at her actual home.
Annelise sat on her new bed and opened her notebook and started to write a new song.
‘Okay, Annelise you have to try to make friends,’ She thought to herself. She decided to go to the library. Annelise hoped she could meet someone who loves reading as much as she did. She locked the door of her room, looking around making sure no one was around and she began singing a song she had just written earlier that day. She twirled her long hair as she walked and sang.
Finally at the doors to the library, she walked in. Annelise didn't see anyone worth talking to so she sat down at a table and began to read. She soon got bored and took out a notebook from her bag and began to write another sad love song. Annelise had her heart broken before and she always dwelled on it. Her best songs were based off it. Annelise was blocked at the moment, though, so she picked up her bag and books and walked out of the library. She was on her way to her room when she became suddenly interested in her surroundings. Annelise was walking and looking around when she tripped and dropped all her books.
"You're such a klutz," she scolded to herself.
Shocked that she said that aloud, she looked around to see if anyone heard or saw her talk to herself. There were people around but no one looking directly at her as far as she could see.
‘I really hope no one saw what a klutz I am, or how I talk to myself aloud,’ Annelise thought. She began to pick up her belongings that she dropped and looked around.
‘I guess no one is going to help me, but I guess it's better than being known as klutz,’ she thought. As soon as she picked up her belongings she ran.
‘I hope I don't run into anyone,’ Annelise thought. She made it safely to her room and lay on her bed. She grabbed a book from her nightstand and began to read. Annelise drifted into sleep with the book on top of her face.

She awoke to the bright sun in her face. She hadn't met anyone yet so she decided to walk around to meet new people and possibly make friends.
Wow, there's an ocean here? Well I guess I can go swimming,’ Annelise thought as she looked at the map. She threw on a pastel green and pink two piece bathing suit and a matching pastel pink and green tube dress. Annelise walked out the door. When she got there she decided not to seem so desperate for friends when she saw there were people there already. She walked in and swam around.
‘I wonder if anyone will come up to me to say hi,’ Anne thought to herself.
The boy turned around and yelled, "Hi! How are you? Care to join us?”
"Oh hi, I'm good, I'll join you." Anne said with an awkward smile. "I'm Annelise, you can call me Anne."
"Would you mind if I call you Ann instead? It’s nice to meet you, though."
"Oh, that's fine, It's nice to meet you too...um, sorry I didn't catch your name." Anne said.
"Nice to meet you, too," said the girl. She was a mermaid.
"Oh, hi, and you name is? I'm Annelise feel free to call me what you want,” she paused, “except Lise, it brings back sad memories."
"I’m Kuro Hono, the shape-shifter."
The girl smiled. "My name is Kida,” said Kida.
"And what are you?" asked Kuro.
"Oh, cool. I'm an angel" Annelise replied. "Hi Kida."
Kuro nodded. "An angle, I know that form." He jumped into the air and transformed into an angle. "Power of light, brightness, and beauty. Not my favorite, but hey to each there own," he said.
“Yeah, so what do you like to do around here?" Anne asked curiously. "Anything specific that you two like to do?"
Kida swished her tail," Well, I'm a mermaid so I like to swim in the ocean. I can also control water somewhat," said Kida.
"Wow, cool...you'll find me in the library reading a book, in my room writing songs or stories or just flying around." Anne responded.
"Very interesting. I like to swim most of the time," said Kida.
"You’ll find me in the library reading in my room writing songs around singing or well just helping people out," he changed back into his human form. "And, well, I control a lot of things with every form I have. I am able to use and control the powers of that form and, well, I can use them in any form I have." A fire ball appeared in his hand.
"Interesting," said Kida.
"Yeah. So what’s your favorite band, Kida?" he asked Kida.
"I don't...have a favorite," said Kida awkwardly.
"Okay, which ones do you like?" he asked her.
"What is a band?" asked Kida.
"Oh, yeah, I’m sorry, forgot you live in the ocean. Well tell me what you think of this." He pulled out a guitar and started to play and sing a song called ‘Welcome To The Black Parade’ by ‘My Chemical Romance’. "What do you think? Did you like it?" he asked.
Kida smiled as she clapped her hands. "I love it. It's wonderful. You are a really good singer," said Kida.
"Thanks," he replied.
"You really do have a great voice, probably better than me, though i wouldn't know no one but myself has ever heard me sing." Anne said.
He started to play another song, this time it was called ‘Nobody’s Listening’ by ‘Linkin Park’.
"I taught myself how to sing," said Kida.
"That’s cool. I really like to sing, and I have written a few songs. Would you like to hear one of them?" he asked them.
"Sure! And I taught myself how to sing too," Annelise said.
"Of course," said Kida.
"Okay, well, this one is I have bean working on its not done yet,” he said. He then began to sing a beautiful, yet depressing, song. “What did you think?" he asked.
"Wow, really good," Annelise said, she gulped, "Wanna hear a song I'm working on?"
"Sure. Do you need an instrument or will you just go ocapella?" "Ocapella is fine, the song is unfinished though," Anne said and began to sing.
“What do you think? It's called In My Heart(You'll Stay)."
Kuro looked to her, “It’s good! It kinda sounds like another one I’ve bean writing called Missing You."
"I like it. Songs are amazing. Very much so when you write your own," said Kida.
"That’s cool I’ve only been writing song for about two years but, hey, I like to do it," said Kuro.
"It's a very good thing to do," said Kida.
"Writing songs and stories are my life." Anne said.
"Wow. Swimming has been mine," said Kida.
"Well truthfully, my family didn't care for me so I wrote stories and songs when there was no one to talk to, and that was most of the time." Annelise said.
"Well now you have someone to talk to," said Kida.
"Really? Thanks Kida!" Annelise said with smile.
Kida smiled. "You’re welcome. We can be friends if you want," she said.
"I'd like that, thanks," Annelise said.
‘Wow, my first friend!’ Anne thought.
Kuro smiled, put his guitar away and pulled out a Japanese flute and started to play it. A few seconds later, Kuro stopped.
"So, I think it’s about time we got back. What do you two think?" he suggested.
"Think about what?" Anne said. "Sorry I can space out sometimes."
"I think so. But I very much so enjoyed this," said Kida
"Well I'm going to go to my room, I'll see you two later!" Anne said as she waved goodbye to Kuro Hono and Kida.

She decided to go to the library again and try to finish her song. Annelise was struck with writer's block for her song but she was able to begin writing a story. It was called "One Song."
Anne began to feel tired and left the library and walked to her dorm. She opened her door and walked inside. After closing the door, she went to the bathroom, washed up, put on some pajamas and laid down. She kept her night stand light on to read the book she was currently reading. Annelise drifted off into a deep sleep. She had the most unusual dream that night.
Annelise woke up the next day and decided to record her dream in her journal:
Dear Journal,
I had the most unusual dream last night... I was back home and my parents actually cared about me and my sisters understood me better. But then there was this guy who it appears in my dream I had a crush on but I never saw his face. So I don't know what this means but I have a feeling it means something big....
~*Annelise*~
After writing in her journal Anne decided to take a walk outside.
