Chapter 2
Oh, I knew I wasn't alone. My imagination went wild. I smiled as I imagined of elves, witches and wizards, and even kings and queens. The whole meadow was my own fantasy land, and all of it was a beautiful place.
I imagined I was the princess of the kingdom, and that I had the power to make flowers float with one touch. I was a princess of the King and Queen of my imaginary land, Coderosa Kingdom.

I was dancing with myself in the meadow, singing and letting my imagination break loose. I was happy, and nobody could stop me from that. My dress flowed in the wind. I kept a smile on my face the whole time.
Suddenly, I heard a loud yell from the distance. It was my sister, looking for me.
"Celeste! Celesstte! I know you're there somewhere!" She continued to yell. I sighed and found a path leading straight ahead. I grabbed my backpack and headed that direction.
As soon as I got out from the meadow, I saw my sister still looking for me. Liza was her name, and she was very over-protective of me. Her golden locks of hair bounced and twirled with every step and turn she took.
Then, she looked my direction. There I was, standing there. Liza smiled and ran towards me, giving me a big hug.
"Celeste! Thank goodness you're here!" She lifted me off of the ground, still wrapping her arms around my tiny arms.
"Why were you so worried?" I asked, trying to get out from her grasp. She put me down.
"It was getting late, and I knew you weren't supposed to be at school for so long. Where were you?" She asked. Haruki walked up towards me and licked my hand.
*W-Wait! I shouldn't tell her where I really was...or else she may get mad at me..* I thought to myself, thinking something quick.
"I was at Jacob's house. He invited me over to play for a little bit." I said, lying straight through my teeth.
Liza giggled. "Isn't Jacob the boy who invited you over for his birthday party last year? He's so cute!"
"Y-Yeah..." I mumbled.
"Well, after for playing so long, you must be hungry! C'mon. Let's go get a snack."
Liza took my hand and lead me to the house. Haruki followed from behind, panting.
As I entered the house, I plopped my back-pack down on the kitchen chair. Letting go of Liza's hand, I reached into my back-pack to get out the envelope. My sister was too busy to pay attention. She was getting out chips and dip from the cupboard. Haruki walked into the kitchen and into the living room. He layed down on his soft, brown dog bed, falling asleep almost immediately.
"Hey Liza?" I mumbled, holding the envelope in my hand.
"Hmm?" She replied.
"I wanted to give you this."
I handed her the envelope. I haven't looked at the envelope, so I was super nervous about giving it to her.
Liza opened the envelope slowly and unfolded the paper inside. She took a minute to read the letter as I sat down at the kitchen table.
Her eyes widened and she immediately put down the letter infront of me.
"Why do you need to go to tutoring?" Her voice shakily said.
