Anyways, maybe you’ll like it.My Day-2-Day pg.3The Massacre GameTaylor and John had always been enemies, but neither knew why. Taylor couldn’t stand the family that John was from, the Elands, and John couldn’t stand the Michaels. This often resulted in fights between the two because of their differences. Taylor’s family was rich and powerful, towering over their city. The Michaels, however, were a very poor family. John, being the only one left, was determined to reform and shape his family so that they could one day cone into power. Taylor had many servants and cousins close around his estate to keep him company, so he had no reason to resent John and his solitude. Why did he resent the blonde so much then? All Taylor ever wanted was quiet, but because he was prince he never got it. He was bombarded by people every hour of the day. He was often sleep-deprived and baggy-eyed.

25. “The Next Days” – September 27th, 2030.Dear Sarah, How long has it been? I can’t imagine that it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Ha-ha. I miss those days. You wish we could go back to them, huh? Well, I’m a veterinarian now with my own practice. I hope you stay out of the military like I told you to. I hope you listened to me all those years back in high school. Gosh, pre-vet school was such a drag!!!!! I hated the long classes, but it paid off in the long run.How have you been? Any kids, a husband? Ah, speaking of those things, I’m married. Yeah, not to who you think though. I met him in vet school. And, surprise, surprise, I have a child. He’s an adorable four-year-old, and his name is Hunter. He’s a little devil too. You’d love him, but he’s kind of like Patty. Yeah, I know, intense. Well, let me tell you about my car. You’d love it, it’s a 2031 Mustang convertible. Yeah I know, you probably have a hover-car, but I’d like to keep my feet, and wheels, on the ground. Didn’t the military invent the hover-car?Well, I have to go. Hunter is crying and he wants some food. He hates spinach, ha, I wonder where he got it. Ha-ha. Talk to you soon I hope. Sincerely, Arianna S.
