If I can't do it then I need to take PolSci and Speech and History 7b. bleh. I don't know when I can take some classes depending on if I pass Math.

I couldn't fit it all into two years so I added another Fall semester. I might spread it out a little bit more. The last spring has 3 different English classes that might be hard to handle. sigh. I added some classes that will get me up to Transfer requirements. These are the requirements for an A.A. with a major in English.

No school today! Yay! First day I've woken up early on my own in a long time. I was up at like 9am! I've been playing Halo 3: ODST all morning. I've already beaten it in coop on Heroic but not in solo. Doign solo normal. I started a Co-op Legendary game too. So I should get those done sometime soon.

I have homework to do. gay. homowork. I have to do a journal for counseling. I already started it last week but only a few sentences. I also have to do another Freewrite for English. They're stupid. I have to choose an article from a certain chapter in this book and they are all stupid articles. Urgh. AND I have to do a Rough Essay Outline #1. It sucks. I missed my writing lab last Friday and we go every other week and every week we don't go its online only. But we still have to do something online every week, it's pretty stupid. But if you miss two days or more you fail. So ugh. And it counts towards my regular English class grade, but I filled out my English 1A journal for the say anyway even though I didn't go, so maybe she won't notice. haha.

A Co-worker told me it was Brewfest in WoW! Ugh. I'm probably going to miss it. I don't think I have all the updates and even if I do get them all updated I have all my addons. sigh.. Oh well. I'm in Northrend anyway and my hearth is set to Dalaran where I LAG incredibly. sigh.

I read a lot the past week. I read the first four book sin the Vampire Diaries series. The original ones. the Vampire Diaries: The Awakening, The Struggle, The Fury, and Dark Reunion. There is a new book that is Called The Vampire Diaries: Return something or other. All four books were amazing! I was so sad at the end and so happy!

After finishing those I started to read Percy Jackson and The Olympians. I read The Lightning Thief and it was beyond amazing. I already love Greek Gods and Goddesses and this just makes my obsession worse. I'm reading The Sea Of Monsters right now! I'm sad it's shorter than the first, oh well. I might go purchase the rest of the books today so I an start reading them all right away.

I love Justin. Justin has work from 7am-1pm today. And he has a useless driving lesson from 1pm-3pm. His mom payed for it though but whatever. He can drive. So he has to try and get out of work early to go to that shit, like he needs to get out now. I think we are going to go to the movies tonight. There are so many I want to see. I still haven't seen District 9  or Inglorious Basterds. I never saw The Time Traveller's Wife, which saddens me. I wanted to see it, I guess I'll wait for Netflix though. Other movies I want to see: Pandorum, Jennifer's Body (Megan Fox FTW), FAME!, The Informant, Surrogates, 9, maybe Love Happens, All About Steve, basically every movie out. haha. But I really want to see Fame because of the dancing and stuff. And Jennifer's Body looks scary and awesome and Megan Fox FTW (And chicks making out! haha. I told Justin this and he was like, we're watching that.). Pandorum looks creepy as well. surrogates is cool looking and Bruce Willis!

Looks like Justin did get out early. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the next 3 hours. No one is online to play ODST with and I'm getting bored playing alone. I might read some Percy Jackson and play. Just jump back and forth. Or maybe some fanfiction which I've neglected the past week because I couldn't read anything right after finishing The Vampire Diaries. Alright. Goodbye.

Success! I had two classes yesterday. Hour and 15 min Counseling class, which is an Intro to College. And Theater Art 7b, which is Contemporary Film History, 50's and up.

Counseling was super easy, we got to know one person then introduced them to the class. She talked some, and it was pretty easy. Have to write a page long journal about my goals and expectations of college, for the class by Wednesday.

Thart7b was easy too. He just called role on the big class, then introduced himself and said he was a screenwriter, taught at LA community college as well as here. Then he talked about the fifties, and two big things that changed the movies right before the fifties. Then he dismissed class two hours early. It's from 6-9:10, but he said we will most likely always leave before 9, but we'll see how that goes. He will probably talk in the beginning of class, then we will watch a movie, and then discuss it and leave.
We are supposed to have reading assignments and the midterm will be on that, but the book isn't available to buy yet, so he's working on that. Then we have a term paper, most likely 4 pages, that is due after the midterm I believe, then finals. Plus an extra credit paper, worth 25 points, probably 4 pages as well. The term paper and the final is worth 100 points, attendance is worth 30 points, and the midterm is 50 points, for a total of 280. Also the tests will be open book, open notes. So that is awesome.

Today I have my English class which I am excited for. Jordan said he is reading 5 books and writing 10 essays. Gay. But he has a different teacher than me. haha. Hopefully all goes well!

<3Tonks

My Class Schedule, plus the availability I sent in for work. Sent it in late, so hopefully I don't get scheduled during class. I'm filling out a seperate sheet for Arjie, in booth, so I most likely won't, for booth at least.


( Schedule )

I don't know exactly what I'm doing today. Going to the mall to hopefully watch a movie if its not too busy. Buying Justin anything he wants, then going to Islands, all for his birthday today. He's turning 19! Three more months for me! I want to wear my heels, but the soles? of my feet hurt from walking around in sandals yesterday. sigh. I don't want to wear socks and shoes, and I don't know where any socks are, so... yeah. It's hot. I hate sweating when I don't want to sweat. I'm finishing up getting ready right now. Well I'm technically not getting ready.. but whatever. i want to curl my hair but there is so damn much of it. I'll try a little. then I need to put my shoes on and go. Justin is showering now. I also need to finish the letter I just started writing him. So unprepared. Summer is going by so fast, it has gone by fast. There is only a week left until school. I feel like I missed summer. I need to go to the beach and party! Hopefully I can do that this week! Better get ready, gbye.

I've always wanted to do something like this. But I suck. Usually people do 100, but I found some 10, 30, 50, and 100 and have decided to try out a ten. Most likely Dramione since that is what I always read. We'll see how this goes. I haven't written in ages. Table under the cut since it won't work on my journal. And even though it works on the other page, it's ten lines down for some reason. Weird.

    Loving you has been like breathing. So easy, so simple. But lately, I’ve had trouble breathing. Everyday it seems to get worse and worse. I can’t take it anymore. It’s just so complicated, we’re too different. I’ve realized what I want is not to be like you and your family, but to have a family of my own. I know that won’t be possible with you. Maybe you should have stayed away when you left for my own good, you knew what was right for me. I hope you can forgive me Edward, and I hope you have a happy eternity. One day I’ll just be a blip in your immortal life. I’ll always love you, and I cherish all the emotions I discovered with you. Say goodbye to everyone for me, yes even Rosalie. I guess she’ll be glad I’m gone. Alice already knows this is happening I’m sure and I will miss you all terribly. Tell Carlisle and Esme ‘thank you for their hospitality‘. You will probably find out, so I want to tell you myself. I’ve decided to be with Jacob. I haven’t told him yet. I’m afraid he will imprint on someone else and I’ll be left alone. I won’t regret it though, just like I will never regret you. I hope we can all still be friends. If only things were different. If we didn’t have such a huge wedge of what you are in between us, but at least I know the truth. Live your life without me Edward, even after I die I will always be with you. Find someone you can love and be with completely. Goodbye Edward.

        Forever Yours,
            Bella

Okay so Justin left Sunday. I'm depressed and it's boiling hot. Well, it could be hotter, but eh. I've been sleeping during the day because its so hot and because I miss Justin. I've barely talked to him in two days which is unnatural and horrible. He has his phone off all the time apparently so it doesn't die, but apparently the last time he talked to me the battery went down. It doesn't feel like he misses me. Probably having too much fun with his friends. sigh.

     I'm supposed to be working on the next three chapters of my story. It's due tomorrow. I don't like it anymore though. ugh ugh ugh. I need to print it and my mom is going to sleep soon.

    Saturday I went dress shopping at Unique Vintage. I got a pretty, long white dress for Prom which is this upcoming Saturday. I need to get a corsage and bout tomorrow or Wednesday. I already payed for the limo and got the dance ticket.

     I started working out during spring break. I thought it was going really good, but it only lasted 4 days. April 5th-8th. Sigh... Oh well. I fail. At least I got that much in. It's too stuffy and hot in my room to work out now. It's hard to breathe in here sometimes, so it would be bad to work out. I hate my stuffy room.

     I guess I'm going to sit in front of the screen with my Black Hole story on it and try to cram in three pages. Ugh Ugh Ugh.

<3Tonks

Chapter 1: 18 Years Later

    Twenty-three years ago the Earth was devoured by a black hole. Five years after that I was born. I've only hear stories of what the Earth was once like, glimpses from what has survived, and been rebuilt. I don't know the world my father and mother lived in, I only know this world, this one civilization. I heard they used to travel a lot back before the world went black. That's not possible now, not with those things out there.

    We simple call them warped. We believe they used to be humans and animals, but once the black hole hit they were changed, from the pressure or the radiation, no one knows. All we know is that they aren't friendly, and they are everywhere. If there is another civilization out there, we haven't been able to contact them, and I'm damn sure we would never reach them to group up, not with the warped around.

    My name is Hayden Forge. I have an older sister named Lana. We’re really close, but she hated me for a few years when I was first born; I killed mom. Dad is still around, but not really. He's raised us the best he could until we could care for ourselves or until he couldn't take it anymore. I'm not sure which. He did a good job despite being heartbroken and all. I don't think he has it in him to love another person, not when he has already loved two other women and they were both taken from him. I guess I would feel pretty lost too.

    I guess I'm a pretty average guy. Tall, tan, and strong. It's a given to be strong when you live out here, it's basically the wild. We have a lot of machines to help us farm and stuff. All stuff remade from before the black hole. We were lucky to have a few skilled farmers left to pass on their knowledge. We still have a lot of manual labor that needs to be done, despite any machinery we have.

    My sister and I are both a part of the defense unit. We are higher up in the unit than most of the people our age, which means we don't just sit around and guard the town all day. We go out and we explore trying to find more resources.  There is a big group of us that are specially trained to take out large and multiple groups of hostiles. We learn new things everyday. We learn from other's mistakes, which usually ends in their deaths. You mess up in a huge warped attack and there is no learning from your mistake.

    My sister and I are going on a scouting mission with four other people tonight. These missions usually consist of walking around for hours and finding absolutely nothing, but we don’t complain. We are out there for our community to find food, water, and any other resources. Perhaps even another civilization or another livable area with animals.

***

    We’ve been out for two and a half hours and nothing eventful has happened. We are about 11 miles out from our town. We usually go out about 12 miles in different directions on these trips before heading back. No one is comfortable sleeping out here, not yet anyway.

    After our short break we continue forward through a patch of a still living forest. We spot a few small animals but nothing to get our hopes up for.

    “It’s just a small little nook in the middle of nowhere,” Jacob, our field leader, states.

    “Better than finding the whole world dead,” I say in response. Looking around the small alcove I notice something similar to a navy fabric in the distance. I slowly make my way towards it and see what can only be described as legs. I rush over to find a woman in a dark navy halter dress with white trimming. It has grass and dirt stains in various places. An odd ensemble for being out in nowheresville. I bend down and see that she is alive and breathing with little cuts across her arms. The darkness under her eyes shows how exhausted she is.

    I call to my unit, “Guys I think I found something over here.” They jog up to where I am as I pick the woman up gently.

    “You think?” Lana says incredulously. “She looks about our age, but I’ve never seen her in town before… Is she alone out here?” As everyone scouts the area I bring her to a soft patch of grass and clean some of her wounds. Everyone returns with nothing found. A girl alone in the wilderness who isn’t from our town… Well at least we found something.

    We begin our hike back to town, eager to get her rested, cleaned up, and woken up. It takes us nearly 3 hours to get back each of us having to carry the girl. As we walk up many people are surprised and asking who the young girl is. We say nothing.

    “I’ll take her to my house. No one will go poking around in our business there,” I say.

    “Of course, Hayden,” Jacob agrees.

    I set her on my bed, and she stirs slightly but continues to sleep. The girl is just under my height, at five foot seven, it seems. She has the natural curves a woman should, which I suppose is only accentuated by her dress. What stands out the most though is her vibrant red hair, coupled with her untarnished fair skin. She intrigues me, past the point of just finding her in the wilderness, and I have no idea why.

    She slowly opens her eyes, revealing a shade of green I have never seen before. She mumbles something incoherent as I drop down next to her to listen.

    “Who are you? Where am I?” She whispers.

    “My name is Hayden Forge. We found you out in the wild and brought you back to our town. You’ll be safe here, just relax. Can I-- Do you think-- Can I get your name?” I say with authority, stuttering at the end as she gazes at me.

    “Isolde. Isolde Flannery.”

    “Thank you,” I say. “Get some rest.”

    Her few spoken words revealed an unmistakable Irish accent, which only made her that much more beautiful. Her name helped that matter as well.

    “Isolde…” I murmur quietly.

     “Stop drooling little bro,” Lana laughs, startling me.

    “I wasn’t drooling,” I mutter. “I was merely admiring her.”

    Her laughter grew, “Sure, of course.”

    I scowl. “Shut up.”

    “She is rather pretty though; better keep her locked up before the other boys notice.”

    We continue to laugh as we leave Isolde sleeping peacefully in my room. There would be time later to bombard her with questions. I knew everyone was curious as to where she came from. Being our age she had to have been born after the black hole, but no one here knows her, which only means she had to be born somewhere else, or in another civilization.

     However, if there is another group out there, why would they leave her alone? Unless something happened to them all and, depending on the size of their group and the relentless warped contact, it is entirely possible. I don’t know how anyone could survive out there on their own. I just hope she isn’t too traumatized to answer any questions, and that she’s sane, of course.


A/N: Again, let me know what you think.

Prologue: The World Went Black

    Five years ago the earth was sucked into a black hole created by scientist; five years, and we have survived and rebuilt in this warped land. There were few of us left after the incident, but we have expanded. We have reproduced, found happiness, and more permanent areas to live. Two thirds of the planet is unlivable for human forms, from what we can tell. There are rumors that there might be something out there, something not human. It is only speculation, some people out here aren't in the right state of mind. Dead plants and corpses litter the ground in the unlivable zone.

    We have settled near a good water and food source. Animals are nearby, and we have been able to farm in larger quantities recently. The Earth is slowly rebuilding itself. Maybe in a thousand years it will be half the planet it was before, but for now we live as we must. We have the basics, we have our life, love, and happiness-- for now.

    Advanced technology is out the window. Everything has been lost; we don't have resources for luxuries. I was only 28 years old when the world went black. I am lucky to be alive. Everyone I once knew is dead: my parents, my friends, my girlfriend. I am 33 now and have a wife and a little baby girl. Lana is asleep in a small playpen in the next room. Being one year old she can easily get out of it when she wakes. I just hope I can provide her a good life, and that nothing traumatic happens to her like it did to us all. My wife, Sophia, is currently pregnant. Pregnancies are very hard without modern technology, and very painful.
    If only we could go back to the way things used to be. It won't happen though, not in my lifetime, maybe never. Sometimes I think that God, or whatever entity watches over us, forced this to happen because of all the harm we caused the Earth. It killed us off, so we wouldn't take anything for granted, so we can all relish in the simple things. Well it's worked so far, for me at least. I can only hope to pass on good behavior and treatment of the Earth to my children. We must start anew, and start better. If we mess up again, I have a feeling we won't get another chance.

    I heard Lana giggle and looked down at her crawling towards me. I must have been staring off blankly, she always thinks it's funny when I get that look on my face. She must have woken from her nap early. I picked her up and held her in my arms, and planted a kiss on her forehead. Suddenly, a familiar scream pierced the air. I jumped up and rushed outside to witness my wife on her knees. I broke through the small crowd.

    "What's wrong? Is it the baby? Are you okay, love?"

    She replied, "It is the baby, I think I'm going into labor." We made our way to the medical tent. I was overjoyed about bringing another child into the world.

    A few hours and a lot of pain later a beautiful boy was brought into the world. His life brings hope, but it also brings death. Sophia didn't make it, she barely had time to see our boy, unbathed, and bloody, before dying of complications. How am I to explain to our children about what happened to their mother, and about what the world once was? My poor sweet little boy won't know his own mother.

    "Hayden..."
