Jager: The thought of someone needs to initiate that I am a human just as a normal person or whatever is normal nowadays. That's what Jager thought to himself as he stood on the sand at the beach looking into the water reflecting off the sky. Cool wind flies through his hair and he looks into the ominous sky at the lunar star (moon) above to see a shooting star fly past. Jager had never seen a shooting star in person, only on TV so he knew he had to make a wish. He closed his eyes listlessly and made a wish to find one singular person to see him for who he truly was, opening his eyes as if he just finished a prayer. He retreats back home to start another lonely week surrounded by people with no sense of ethics. Jager walks through the halls with his hoodie on and making sure not to jostle into anyone on the way to class. The popular kids came and pulled Jager's hoody down "ohh look who decided to come to school today, if I were you I would wear a mask just to hide that scar on your face. Your name should be Scarface''. They laughed as did the other nearby student. "Omg what a loser" is what you hear in the background. It was an embarrassing moment I dealt with here and there but this was especially painful when the girl I was crushing on was there laughing as well. I thought she was ingenious but it seems she's just like......them. The hallway seems to make way for me as I walk through as if they were avoiding the plague. Entering the classroom Jager sits in his seat and begins to put eye drops on his eye. He's almost blind from one eye from a chemistry experiment that went wrong. After he imported his drops, he looked up through the window of his classroom to see the most beautiful girl he had ever seen before in his short longevity. For a split second he was inert, felt his heart stop, time was just an illusion when he saw her face. "Whos that? What's her name? Is she even human?" As quickly as she appears is as quickly she disappears.

Eliza: Life's so much more than we can ever imagine. Sitting in a car with this one thought in mind Eliza gazed at the sun, hiding somewhere in the horizon slowly and steadily. Waves glistened in red.. looking like red hot magma. She wanted to touch the water, go with the flow, run on the beach but alas..her untoward lifestyle was like shackles holding her back. She just sat in her car staring at the empty beach- no wait there is someone...a guy! Standing on the wet sand, relishing the sunset. Eliza wants to be like him, free, not afraid of anything or anyone, no worries about society, just free like a mockingbird.
6 am- time to go to school. She has no motivation to go to school, she stayed up all night playing games because why not? She never wanted to leave her old house and go to this high fashioned school. But she has to go. She went to school..all new faces, every eye seemed to stare through her body and see her soul, different hallways, different chairs, different rooms.. everything felt like some kind of illusion. As she sat on her chair , she felt like a pair of eyes staring at her..but it felt different. It felt like a nebula in the never-ending universe, something pure. She paints her eyes and what she sees is this guy with a scary eye just.. looking at her. She couldn't help herself but scream at the top of her lungs. She realises her mistake the very next moment but it was too late by then. Everyone was laughing. Directly at Eliza, indirectly at..yk who he is right?
The fight has begun.

Jager: With a loud cacophonic scream Jager locks eyes with the new girl, transfixed not knowing how to react. A long silence soon followed the laughter and without another word the mystery girl ran out of the class. Of course she was abhorrent to my sight, I mean look at me, he thought to himself. Even though he sees a little blurry, he sees her perfectly clear. Lunch time rolls around and Jager is enjoying his meal but almost chokes on sight when he sees the mystery girl enter the cafeteria. She walked very elegantly and gracefully. Trying to look away with arduous effort he sees a book hanging from her back pack. He read that book and actually owned a copy. "why would she read a book like that"? She looks in his direction and he turns his head abruptly hoping she didn't catch him gazing at her, "she totally saw me." It's not like he could hide, Jager sat at a table by himself with a book and the freedom to spread his legs. Loud conversation roars through the room and upon sneaking a look back at the mystery girl he sees that the sharks are surrounding her, jocks/popular kids. As time goes by he constantly looks back, not able to concentrate on his book he begins to read her body language, it proves to be more difficult than he thought and didn't get much information. He did notice one thing, one little thing but that may be his imagination. The eyes doesn't lie, when he looked into her eyes he saw a glimmer of sadness. Jager felt the need to apologize to her for scaring her (even though it wasn't his fault) but he just felt the need to do it. A reason.......a reason to have a conversation, a reason to get her name. Yet getting her alone would be a different challenge. Looks like the popular kids try to get her in their group. "I can't handle this", with that said he grabs his bag and heads to the library with a kick in his step. Upon opening the door he takes another look in her direction, oddly enough she was looking at him. "Jager don't overthink", he exits in a hurry.

Eliza: Life.. Is strange, and super unpredictable. You always end up falling for the most contrasting things in your life. Sun loves the horizon, the North Pole attracts the South like nothing else and now, Eliza. The level of remorse for what she did to Jager was boundless but there was something glinting inside her. Something...
