My Future Awaits
Hi there! My name is Krystal Ball. I’m from Queens, which is a part of New York City. Some people call this place the Big Apple. But I live in a tiny, two-bedroom apartment with my mom and dad, so it seems pretty small to me.
Don’t get me wrong...I love, LOVE my parents. My mom works as a hair stylist on the first floor of our building. My dad’s a high school history teacher. He’s always saying things like, History repeats itself, sweetie.
Whatever that means.
I’m not that interested in the past, though. I’m much more excited about...the future.
I like astrology, palm reading, and stargazing. Why? Well, let me tell you a little secret. I’m not exactly normal. I may look small, you see, but I’m really a medium. That means I have a special ability, kind of like a sixth sense. My grandma calls this my gift.
It helps me see what the future holds, but it’s never quite clear. I can learn things about a person or an object by touching them and, sometimes, my dreams show little glimpses of events that haven’t happened yet.
I usually have trouble understanding these visions, or premonitions, but I’m working on improving my skills. I also go to Nikola Tesla Elementary School, and being a fourth-grade fortune-teller while juggling science projects, math tests, and homework isn’t easy.
What else can I tell you about me? Ah! My best friend, Billy, lives in the apartment above ours. I’ve known him my whole life, and that’s a really long time. Almost ten years…Whoa! My other best friend, Claire, is the new girl at school. Both Billy and Claire know about my amazing gift, but they have pinky-sworn to secrecy.
Together, we zip around the neighborhood on our scooters, seeking out adventure. But with my abilities, adventure usually finds us first!
Okay, so you got all that? Good.
Now take a deep breath, relax your eyes, and clear your mind. My future awaits…
Chapter 1
Bad Monday
Oh my stars!
I cried as the school bell rang. I dashed to my seat just as our teacher, Miss Callisto, looked up from her desk.
Good morning, and happy Monday!
she said, gliding across the floor from her desk to the whiteboard. With a marker, she wrote the day’s lesson on the board: DEFINING GRAVITY.
My best friend, Billy, looked at me with a raised eyebrow. What’s up, Krystal?
he asked.
I would’ve been here sooner, but I couldn’t find my lucky scarf,
I said, pointing to the green scarf wrapped around my hair.
Nice!
said Billy.
Yeah, SUPER cute, Krystal,
joked a voice nearby. It was Emily Heart, the mean girl that sits behind me. Are you trying to take the attention away from that outfit?
Okay, so here’s the deal...
Normally, I really like school, but recently things have changed. The main reason I wear a scarf on my head is because Emily started to
