It was morning and as the sunrays entered Rosa's room the alarm rang. She woke up, yawned and stretched in her bed. 

The robotic voice said "Good morning Rosa, right now it's 7:00 am and you need to be in your school exactly at 8:00 am. So you quickly need to brush, take a bath, have breakfast and get ready. Have a nice day." 

Rosa jumped off her bed and went to take a shower. Actually she doesn't even need to do anything. The atomatic shower and bath tub will take care of everything from scrubbing, cleaning, moisturizing and dressing her up. She just needs to select her clothes. After getting ready she was transported to the dining room. Mom and dad were already at the table having breakfast. Mom was having a cup of black coffee and some toast and dad was having eggs and bacon. Rosa seated herself at the table and said good morning to her mom and dad. 

Mom said "Did you sleep well sweetheart?" 

Rosa nodded and said "Oh yeah even though I am very excited for the trip but still I was out like a log"

Zipper the AI robot cook of their house was preparing Rosa's breakfast. He served her toast and eggs just how she likes them. He is a great chef and keeps himself updated on new recipes and even experiments with dishes and does a fabulous job. 

Zipper said "Mrs Hudson I need to be upgraded today as a new upgrade is available. It's going to take an hour so I suggest starting it right now so I will be able to prepare dinner on time." 

Rosa's mom commanded for the upgrade to begin. Rosa really loved Zipper as he was a very friendly robot. Maybe because he was programmed to have the dominant trait as 'friendly' as he was a household helper AI robot and mainly did household chores. He needed to be nice to kids and pets and all family members in general. He made healthy but delicious recipes and always tried to include those foods which she loved. They had a bonding. It might have sounded weird in 2019 but in the 3019 it is perfectly normal. Now it was time for Rosa to head to school. She said bye to her mom and dad and got into her aircar. 

The aircar's security system flashed a screen and a computerized voice said "Pls bring your face close to the screen for scanning. Face detection is running." After the face detection the engine started. In 3019 the engine starts only after the face of the owner of the car is detected. Rosa selected her destination to Silverspring High School and switched to autopilot mode. 

The aircar took off but there was a lot of traffic in the air. Rosa comfortably laid back and decided to scroll through her socials a bit till she reaches school. After a few minutes she reached her school and saw Sofia coming towards her while waving her hands. She had wavy sandy blonde hair which reached till her upper back and beautiful greenish hazel eyes. There was still some time to get to their class so they went towards their lockers which used finger prints to open and started taking out the equipments they will need for their first class. 

Schools in 3019 generally don't use traditional paper books but rather students are givens storage chips that store books and notes and a scanner device which when inserted with the desired chip scans the desired book and presents it to the student in a mini screen in class while the teacher teaches them. Each chip can contain upto 30 books. The capacity is made low on purpose because a student won't need more than that and they are given upto 6 chips for books and additional 4 chips for notes specifically which has a much higher storage capacity as each student has a different style to take down notes. The libraries although have traditional paper books which students can check out as they desire. 

Rosa and Sofia had their first period together which was English Literature.

Sofia said "I have already decided which accessories and outfits am packing because I am so excited for our trip. We are going to have a blast!" by clasping her hands together and smiling brightly.

Rosa said "That reminds me that I need your help to select my outfits. I am so confused between some of them"

Rosa was beaming but suddenly her smile faded and her lips formed a tight line. Sofia immediately understood what was wrong. She turned and saw Kaylee coming together with her group of friends towards Alex Silvius and Tyler Cosmos. Alex had jet black hair always gelled to perfection, deep blue eyes with a heavy stubble looking way mature than his age. He also had a few tattoos on his arms with a muscular body. He looked like he hit the gym everyday whereas Tyler had dirty blonde hair which remained a bit messy with brown eyes, athletic well built body and a light scruffy beard. Kaylee's natural hair colour was ginger but she bleached it to platinum blonde. 

Sofia joked "How many times does she even bleach her hair. It should be completely damaged, dry and frizzy by now"

Rosa said nonchalantly "It appears shiny so I guess she takes care of it who knows."

They both headed towards their class. Kaylee obviously didn't hear them but she saw them and royally ignored them. She and Alex were rumored to be dating. Carol on the other hand was Katherine's friend. Carol had a huge crush on Tyler but Tyler just saw her as a friend. Carol was mostly sweet but boy did she love attention. Alex gazed up and his eyes met straight with Rosa's but then he went back to talking to Kaylee. Tyler waved at them. Rosa waved back to Tyler as she really liked him as a person and found him mostly sweet. 

Sofia gave him a big fake smile and both of them passed the group and went in the direction of their class. Sofia did not really trust people easily and generally would be suspicious if somebody was 'too kind' in her books. 

Tyler said chuckling "I think Sofia just gave me a big fake smile."

Alex said "I didn't know you know them."

Tyler said "I mean they are in many of our classes. So it's natural I would know them. They are sort of acquaintances." 

Alex said shrugging his shoulders "Yeah I know them too but you know Rosa and Kaylee have history."

Tyler admitted and said "I won't like to be involved in their personal problems and also there is always two sides of a coin."

Alex did not say anything after that and just fixed his steely gaze towards the disappearing silhouette of Rosa and Sofia.

They also had English as their first period so they too proceeded towards class. Two seats were empty just behind Rosa and Sofia and Alex and Tyler seated themselves there. Rosa was extremely displeased as she did not like any of the popular kids except Tyler and she also never really got any positive vibes from Alex . Sofia was not bothered as she did not care for the popular kids but she could practically sense Rosa's displeasure which affected her too. 

Rosa in no ways was defenceless or timid. She can be very sassy when the time comes and Sofia becomes a tigress if anyone disrespects her or tries to take advantage of her in any situation but Sofia can get intimidated too sometimes and does not exactly function the best under pressure. Tyler being the kind and sweet person he is could immediately sense the girls tensing up so he said nothing in order to avoid any further discomfort for the girls. 

Rosa and Kaylee were once best friends but with time they drifted apart due to misunderstandings they both never talk about. The teacher's AI robot assistant took the attendance by scanning the faces of all the students. Kaylee was seated in class too. Rosa sometimes wondered why did Kaylee stopped being friends with her, why did she do and say those stuff to her. Now there existed nothing but a void between them. There was no bitterness but an emptiness that settled in both of their hearts. Kaylee never stated what Rosa had done that suddenly made her hate Rosa. Everybody just moved on but yet somewhere these questions remained unanswered in all of their hearts. As the class began Rosa was completely absorbed in what the teacher was saying, taking notes and answering the questions.

  • Future Ahead   Faint Red Glow

    What Rosa saw next was out of her wildest imaginations. As she went closer to the faint red glow she saw Alex standing at the corner of the library. His body was emitting a faint red glow. It was as if flames were engulfing his body but he was least bothered. His skin was a shade of pale grey almost ashy complexion. His eyes were the same normal blue but it had a spark in it as if they were shinning. Rosa was scared out of her wits.She questioned to her own self "What is this thing? Is he even human?" But maybe luck was not really in her favour that day. As she was peeking from a corner she lost her balance and she accidentally tripped and twisted her ankle. She gasped in pain. Immediately the flames surrounding Alex's body vanished and he was back to normal, evidently he was alerted of somebody's presence. He was coming towards the corner where Rosa was hiding to inspect from where the noise came from. Rosa immediately picked the book that she had come to take and

    It was evening in Mars now and after taking their power naps and getting over the spacelag it was finally time for a hearty meal for the students and teachers. Everybody was quite hungry as they had not even snacked after landing on Mars as it was strictly prohibited by the protocols. They needed to let their bodies to adjust to the temperature and environment. Now every student came out of their hotel rooms went to the dining hall and seated themselves on the table. Rosa and Sofia came out together and sat beside each other. Alex was sitting opposite Rosa with Kaylee and Tyler, Dominic, Petricia and Carol were seated just beside Rosa's table. Rosa was looking at the dining hall with awe and gaping her mouth like a fish. Her eyes were wide with admiration. Her ocean blue eyes twinkled in the light with a child like innocence in it. She felt like a guileless child who has just been born and looking at the world with an ardent curiosity and amazement. Her eyes suddenly c

    Rosa was thinking in her mind "I have walked for what feels like a couple of hours now. My mobile seems to be not working and glitching. No wonder this area was prohibited for us. I am actually quite scared. I have an artificial atmosphere device attached with me which is supplying me with the required oxygen so I know I will at least not die due to suffocation or inefficient oxygen. At least not now, till the system is working and till there is oxygen left in the tank. It is connected with hotel Oxymar's main point of supply but there are a thousand different scenarios that might happen. Also I am far away from the safe zone so the supply is pretty weak and eventually it might just stop. I wish I could connect to the hotel with this device or at least send my location but my mobile is glitching, so there is absolutely no way to do so until somebody notices I am missing and send Martian robotic police troops for help." Numerous negative scenarios were roaming in Rosa's

  • Future Ahead   Prologue

    It is the year 3019. Let me give you a brief summary about how life is in this era. All the fossil fuels of Earth got depleted in the year 2100. Since then the human race has been largely dependant on solar, wind and hydro energies.A recent invention in the year 2700 led to the discovery of the machine 'Electro Master'. It's discovery made possible for the humans to tap the energy available from the thunderstorms. Electro Master basically attracts and stores the energy from the thunder when the monsoons visit the cities of the country and then converts it into the desired power of electrical energy for usage.Now you may ask a question 'What about the draught prone regions of a country?' Well then I will say that the energy stored by just one city of a country with the highest rainfall per annum is more than enough to satisfy the needs of the whole country for a whole year. This invention reduced the dependence of humans on the solar energy. The technology i
