"Atlantis....?" Leona mumbled to herself before quickly closing her journal and stepping out of the car.Leona and her mom walked into the electronics store, but all the excitement for a phone wasn't there as much as before. Leona was too worried and confused about what she had just experienced, like how she heard music when the radio wasn't on, and how she was writing sheet music without even knowing.Did I hear that song from somewhere before? Leona thought as she looked at all the phones behind the glass cases. She suddenly recognized a certain phone- the Samsung Galaxy A20."That's the one Khloe has, right?" Leona mumbled to herself, smiling as she stared at the phone."Ah, the Samsung Galaxy A20, huh?" The store clerk asked, walking over to her and taking the phone out of its case so that Leona and her mom could get a closer look."See, this phone in particular saves a lot of battery, and you can even go on night mode for a lot of apps by going to your notification bar. The camer

Leona ended up going to the library with Donovan, and they began to look through books for any information about "Atlantis.""I'm surprised you would ask me about a myth like that," Donovan said, flipping through the pages of a book. "I'm not really strong in the subject of myths and urban legends.""Atlantis is a myth?" Leona asked, and Donovan nodded."The myth of Atlantis--an existence of an underwater kingdom that just vanished out of nowhere."Leona sat on a squishy chair in the back of the library with Donovan, waiting for him to start the story."Almost everyone has heard about the myth of Atlantis, especially in our town since we're basically surrounded by water and nature. Of course, many people couldn't prove if Atlantis was really real, so it lead to many stories of people saying they've seen it."Donovan continued to look at the book, continuing with the story."Here's the generic version: Atlantis was an underwater kingdom filled with mythical underwater beings such as me

"Wanna skip the first class?" Jaiden asked as he started to walk towards the door."W-what?"Leona began wiping her tears as Jaiden opened the door and started to walk out."That whole commotion this morning is probably delaying classes anyways, might as well right?" Jaiden held the door open, waiting for Leona to walk through."But.....my name was on there.....they might call me to the principal's office..." Leona started to tremble in fear.The principal's office.....what will they ask me?"Calm down....I'm sure that everyone already knows it's fake," Jaiden replied, walking back towards her."What do you mean?" Leona asked in confusion."Well, even if you were doing those...things...I'm pretty sure you wouldn't reveal yourself like that. Even then, it's none of their business what you do after school."There was a long silence between them right after, and the atmosphere become more awkward than before.Leona sniffled, as she could feel her frustration get even worse. Her face star

Tara sat on top of the red, circular lunch table, her arms and legs crossed as the group of boys stood in front of her."So, did you do it?" Tara asked with harshness in her voice, and all the boys simply nodded."Well of course you did, and I found out it crushed our little new girl's feelings." Tara laughed as she talked in a little baby voice at the end of her sentence."Now, the real question is, no one suspected it was me right?" The boys yet again nodded, and Tara smiled in satisfaction."No one has called us to the office, and your name hasn't popped up either," one of the boys said, presumably the 'leader' as he stepped forward."Good, good. Make sure it stays that way," Tara said as she jumped off the table and looked at them with an evil grin."Don't forget who's paying you, because we're not done yet."Leona sighed as she opened up her notebook and prepared her materials before Chemistry officially started. She still didn't know why the principal changed his mind, and on to

Leona and her mother sat in the car in silence, both of them dreading to step into the house. Leona would occasionally sneak quick glances at her mom only to get the same enraged glare back at her."We better pray that your dad doesn't find out about this," her mother finally said in a strict tone before her soft brown eyes and clenched jaw softened a bit."Leona....why didn't you tell me about this? You've been so distant ever since the accident at Greenville, and I just knew that with your personality, something like bullying was bound to happened...."Mrs.Denver took a deep sigh before finally facing her daughter. "I want to be more involved in your life now more than ever since you're growing up. I know I'm always really busy or at work, but I still want you to open up to me."Leona looked down as her mother placed her hands on both sides of Leona's face, carrying a faint smile."You know, I always wanted a daughter of my own, but it was still a miracle for me when I adopted you.
