====It was the last day before summer of 2020, everyone was celebrating, screaming, shouting in the halls as the bells rang for the end of the day. People excited about summer where there’s no more school, no more homework, no more teachers to tell you what to do. Everyone ran outside, throwing their books in the air. All the papers flying in the air as if a dozen doves just came and swapped the sky. It was the end of school. Now collage or university for most people, but for me I’m just staying here. What’s the point on going there if I have already done it you have a whole life time to live?====

====I look out in the distance of all the people, jumping in their cars with all their friends heading out of town or out their beach parties. Then I heard “CHARLE!” I look behind me and there she was, the love of my life and my best friend marissa. She was also the only person who knows about my secret. I have never told anyone about my age but if they ever did ask I would say 18, which is a lie. I’m really 140 years old but am in a body of an 18 year old.====

====When I was four years old I got sick with this virus that was killing millions of people, they called it the second black plague. My grandfather always told me about this fountain called the fountain of youth. It will make and old person young again, any sick person healthy again. It fixed you up and that’s that he did for me. All the stories he would tell me were true. He was the founder of it. When I only had a couple days left he passed it down to me, gave me the water and then he decided he didn’t want it anymore. Once you stop drinking the water after you have been drinking it for years you grow old right away. After he stopped drinking it he grew old too fast and died instantly. Now I am becoming like that. I have been drinking that water for years.====

====marissa saw me in the distance. Ran up to me, scream about summer. But unfortunately I wasn’t that thrilled. “What’s wrong?” she asked me while I was staring at the ground. But I couldn’t tell her the surprise I guess you could call it. The surprise I do every 3 years, leave. “Aren’t you excited about summer?” she was jumping up and down almost like a bouncing ball that would never stop bouncing. “ Uhm no not really...” I replied still staring at the ground. “ What is there to be excited about anyways? Its not like I haven’t had a summer before?” “But were done school!” “Yeah I guess that’s a plus for you isn’t it?” I said in a sighing tone. “ What’s your problem Charle? Why are you not excited at all about spending two months not doing anything?” Alex looked down. I felt horrible seeing her like this but for me this isn’t anything exciting. I’ve been through this many times before too many to count. Its just do special for her I just couldn’t get myself to be as happy as she is. I then looked up, while she was looking down. “Well I guess ill call you later?” I asked in a sweet tone. “Yeah sure…” she replied. Then I walked away knowing she was still standing there. Watching me leave.====

1 month later...
====It was noon on July 23, 2020 when it hit. Over 3.3million people have been killed in the last week, a virus that has been sweeping the nation. Taking out the human population. I was watching the news when the phone rang. I was guessing it was marissa since I haven’t talked to her since the last day of school. “Hello?” I said in a guessing voice wondering who it was. “Is this Charlie?” a man with a very deep voice asked. “Yes I believe this is. Can I help you?” The man hung up instantly. A little creped I ignored every phone call. I was starting to wonder if people are noticing that I haven’t aged a day in years.====

====It was in midday, I went for a walk to clear my head. No one was out side. Everything was couritiened. Houses were locked up, children not being able to go to school. Then I walked by the old supper market. Picking up some food for the week. I stepped into the store. It was only I in there. The whole place was empty. Every movement I made a loud sound. I didn’t want any swat team being watching me and wonder how I could walk these streets and still be alive. But lucky me there was one.====

====“Get down on the ground” a bunch of men dressed in full black bullet proof outfits came running in with their heavy duty weapons. And then there was something that caught my eye. There she was marissa, the swat team was grabbing her. “Is that him?” they asked. “Yes that him” Tears in her eyes. I was so confused. Why was she there and asking for me? What did I have to offer that she doesn’t have? The next thing I know I was sitting in a dark room. There were three men dressed in black with oxygen masks on them. They asked me some basic questions first like what’s my name and where I lived before I came here? Then they pulled out my file. My birth certificate, my family photo from the 1900’s. “ So your 18, or is that what you call yourself?” “ No I am 18…” I didn’t know if I should lie or if I should of just told them the truth, not knowing if they knew about the water or not. “ How long have u been hiding your secret? Where do you keep the water?” then I knew why marrisa was there, why she was crying in the crowd of police officers. She told them about me, how I could walk in the day and not catch the virus. I just wanted to know why. Then they brought her in. she came in, sat and stared at the ground. She looked the same since the last time I had scene her. She looked upset to be here. “How could you?” I asked “its not my fault Charlie you have to believe me! They have had you on record ever since you got here. They know about your age and==== ====everything and their thinking there’s a way on fixing whatever’s happening to the us right now.” “what do you mean help? You mean giving up the water?” “Yes Charlie, it makes you young, happy, healthy, why can’t we all be like that. Live if total freedom like you?” she was making a good point. “You don’t understand Alex if I give up the water then I wont be here anymore. It’s the only thing that keeps me alive. I’m 140 years old and have been drinking the water since I was four years old. I have been drinking it for too long that once I stop ill be done like I never existed” that’s not true!” she shouted in anger. You will be a hero Charlie you just have to do something for someone else for a change.” I didn’t know what to do or say. Then they pulled out a form. “What’s this?” I asked. “ It’s a letter of consent saying that you have giving us the water for the people who need it.” “Do you not get it I can’t or ill die.” Then there was a moment of silence. she was looking quite pail and wasn’t wearing an oxygen mask. “Do you have the virus…?” I asked scared for her reply. “yes..” I was in so much shock. I didn't know what to do or say. all i did know was that a loved one of mine is about to die if she doesn't get treated, the only way she could get better is from me, from my water. I looked down for a good hole 5min. thinking. then i picked up the pen and signed the papers.====
