i need something better to do...

The sun rise over the lake looked more like a sun set from on top of the mountain. There was orange, pink, red, and yellow flickering constantly as the disk of light rose against the brightening blue sky. My friends and I always came up here, just to hang out or play around.
But I was always the more solemn one, usually kept to my self, and thought about the things I would be doing in future. Tomorrow, next week, a year. Ten years from now. There are so many things that could happen till then, trying to calculate it down to the most specific detail would be near improbable, but not impossible. And granted, only being fifteen doesn’t help but make it more overwhelming. like my mom is always saying nowadays, “The next three years ‘ll fly by like nothing.” Either my mind is in slow motion, or everything else is going to fast.
The crisp air blew across my face. I could feel the anger on my face. I’m not mad, I don’t feel it now anyways. But I could feel it in my face for some reason. Whatever…
I clenched my navy blue jacket and turned back to the trail leading to the RV. The wind blew my hair across my head. I looked down at the ground and watched each step, carefully placing my foot in precisely the right place, just as if there were puddles of mud every where. The trees at the bottom of the mountain swayed less than on the top. They seemed more rigid this way, stiff and lifeless, almost like stone.
It was early in the morning. I woke up at 5:30 just to come watch the sun rise. My dad was probably up already, getting our things packed and ready to leave. it was a nice stay while it lasted. mostly since my friends and their families usually come up around this time of year. and to think this would be the last time I get to go camping with them, I mean with the upcoming move and all. I’m going back to California in a couple of weeks. And yeah, I’m excited and all. Get to have a small little reunion with my former friends, whom I haven’t seen in almost three years. but leaving the new friends I’ve made here just kinda tears me in half.
Sure. I’ll get over it. And when I turn eighteen and move out of my parents home, I can move back here to Seattle and share a cell with my buddy, Trevor. Hypothetically speaking of course… I wonder what my sister would say about that. Hell, what about my mother? Well Trevor has the final race this season in two weeks. And of course, it’s “coincidently” the same day as the move. I really hope I can convince my dad to let me see him out the gate.
Trevor and I got into motor-cross when I first moved here. I didn’t pick up on it as well as he did, but I learned a couple tricks. I was in a couple races, nothing big. But Trevor always took the lead, and I always finished last… I eventually dropped out of the races all together, and then thought about police work. Like my dad, or formerly known as Detective Porter. But I’ll save that story for another time…
As I walked to the RV, I could see my mother in the window cooking breakfast. My dad was carrying the ice box to the front..........




oooooooooookaaaaaaaaaay... well then, this is the intro duction to the long awaited (by me) story; The Gem Chronicles... I finally figured out something i liked, and well here it is... now that i'm on summer break, i'll be adding to this every day... or when ever i get a chance.......

I haven't uploaded ANYTHING since i've had this DA account...
Zero, Zip, Zilch, Nada, Vacant, CHICKEN SCRATCH....


I need to get some shit done...

how's it goin...
i'm bored now, i guess

okay... here goes....

now that im FINALY telling you what im doing, i'll have better purpose for this acount...

Main Chracters:
Kyle Porter, Denise Porter, Jazzmine Gomez, Jason Gomez, Keith Merks, Haley Graham, Carrie "Canary" Johnson, Anthony Cole, Samuel Cox, Jason Eams...

Other Chracters:
Trevor, Theodore, Emily, Cheni, Nicole, James Trend, Marie Porter, Nathan Porter, Erin Gomez...

Setting(s):
Cities: Los Angeles, Manhattan, Carson city, Lake Tahoe, Seattle, Dallas...
Other: Porter residence (LA and Seattle), Gomez residence, Schools, Work offices, Parks, Trailers


TGC plot/summery(whatever you wanna call it...):

After Kyle and his family move back to LA he finds a meteorite that has landed in his back yard... along with eight strange gems. he shares them with his friends and soon enough they discover the gems give off strange radiation, giving the host powers. they all posess abilities alowing them to mend the laws of nature, i.e. Kyle's flesh will not burn and he has limited manipulation of energy. At first they just play around with their new abilities, they are not the only ones who have found these treasures. many people all over the united states have discovered these meteors and gained powers. most people use their abilities for their own benefit, some keep it to themselves, and others use them to help one another. After attaining few of these gems, government agencies discover how distructive they are and warns the public. other secret groups have figured out how to utilize the gems radition for use in weapons and machinery, thus sending out agents to retrieve the gems, with force when necessary...
Eventualy, James Trend, a highly respected drug dealer/buisnessman in New York and close friend of Nathan Porter, learns of the gems and that Nathans son possesses one of them. He has learned how they are used with weapons, and that they have certain healing properties, which he finds extremely useful because of his deformation from an old spelunking accident. He goes to "visit" his old friend with the intention of stealing the gem Kyle has. but before he has a chance to do so, kyle and his friends have already run away, closley being fallowed by the agencies after the gems, causing the wildest chase of all time.
Along the way they meet new friends, encounter many problems, and learn things about themselves they never new... and maybe a few romances

The way i wanted to set this in was kind of around everyday teenage drama/problems/expiriences/other stuff, while they're running away from enemies and such... for instance kyle is acused of stealng the gems and of possesing drugs, Anthony's other "friends" are getting into all sorts of trouble(i.e. drugs, theft, gangs), Haleys dad's a drunk and her mom left, Sam's an outcast at school and lives with abusive foster parents, Jazz and Keith take care of three other siblings while their parents are never around... you know, stuff happening to everyone...

I'll be posting sketches of characters and chapters from the story whenever I have the chance, so Stay tuned!
