The sun broke through the window curtains and fell upon the sleeping body of a young girl. She is about sixteen years old, but no one is really sure what her age is. She has bright red hair that is very long and in soft waves. She is small, but not delicate. She has the build of an athlete. She also has a beautiful face to look upon, many people think so. Her face has an elegance and grace that no make up could improve. Her eyes are a rich brown with flecks of gold in them. When she is angry, people have told her it appears that she is on fire. She felt the warm summer sun hit her face and she stirred from her sleep. She heard soft voices whispering not far away. The girl struggled to wake herself from sleep, only to catch the attention of the people uttering the quiet conversation. They stopped talking and the girl heard movement in her room.
"Good morning!" A chipper female voice greets her. The young girl groans inwardly before responding not nearly as lively,
"Good morning, Emma." The girl sits up in her bed, stretches widely and reaches for her clothes for the day. She dresses in jeans and a plain white tee shirt. She pulls her hair back to into a ponytail. The girl looks at Emma. She is short, like the girl, but she has greying hair pulled back in a bun and wrinkles on her friendly, round face. The girl says to Emma,
"What are the plans for today?"
"Well, I have some exciting news for you. You're going to have some company for your lessons from now on. There's a boy who is at the same level as you and seems to be in the same situation. Scott thought it would be a good idea for you two to learn together." Emma replied. The girl looks excited.
"How old is he?" She asks.
"He's about your age. Supposedly he's very good looking." Emma says with a smile.
"Really? Oh this is going to be awesome!" The young girl runs to hug Emma and she says,
"Oh, don't thank me, thank Scott, it was his idea. I just approved it that's all." Emma smiles and lets the girl go as she runs downstairs to the cafeteria on the first floor.

During this time in another building not far away, the same bright, morning sun is waking up a young boy. He is about seventeen years old, though no one really knows how old he is. The boy has straight, blonde hair, which is almost too long. His hair covers over the tips of his ears and they have been telling him to get it cut. He prefers it this way though, covering up part of eyes as well. His eyes are a smoky grey, one of his best features. He is tall, but not bulky. He is lithe and wiry. He jumps off his bed and opens his blinds fully, letting in the sunshine. He dresses for the day wearing a polo shirt and some khaki pants. Just before he is about to leave his room, someone blocks his path and joins him in he room. He is another young man, about twenty-five, who is tall and has a weather worn face. The boy smiles at the man and says,
"Hey Tom. What's going on today?" Tom looks at the boy and smiling widely he replies,
"Today you get to meet that girl I was telling you about. And you'll be doing your lessons with her from now on with Scott teaching."
"She's the hot one with red hair, right?" The boy questions. Tom laughs.
"Yeah, she's the pretty one. After breakfast go to Scott's office and you'll get to meet her." Tom replied.
"Awesome, thanks so much Tom!" The boy exclaims.
"Don't thank me, thank Scott, I just approved it that's all." Tom watches the young boy run out of his room to go downstairs and eat breakfast in the cafeteria.

The girl eats her breakfast as fast as she can. She avoids people that might want to talk to her. She gulps down her orange juice and runs out the front door across the courtyard to another building. No one lives in the building, only people working, teaching, and learning here. The building is named the Meadowvale Rehabilitation Centre. She keeps running all the way up the stairs to the fourth floor of six. She turns right at the top of the stairs and enters a large hallway that is full of activity. She passes many room and offices. Some have just adults, and some are filled with young children playing. She turns to her left and knocks on a door labelled Dr. Scott Grumman.
"Come in," a deep male voice says permitting the girl to enter.
"Hey Scott. I hear I'm to have a classmate." She says with a smile. Scott smiles at her. He is of a medium build, has dark brown hair with streaks of grey and dark blue eyes. He has a moustache and although he was once fit, age has changed that a bit and he now is a little larger, particularly around the middle.
"Yes it's true, now you can have some company of your own age."
"How come we are going to be studying together now?" She questions.
"Well it's rather interesting really. Your situations are strikingly similar and perhaps were caused by the
same thing, we do not know. But we feel that it would be advantageous for you two to work together, especially because
your knowledge is at the same level." Scott responded.
"So us working together might help our progress along too won't it? And maybe we'll give you more answers then. Am I right?" She wonders to Scott and he laughs.
"You really are too smart for your own good. Of course that's exactly what we are hoping. But don't get your hopes up too much for some answers. This move might be beneficial for the both of you, or it might hinder you."
"Oh I'm sure it will work," she says confidently. "With me in the mix with my intelligence? Of course it will."

The young boy is eating breakfast at a fast pace. He doesn't even notice anyone or anything around him in the cafeteria. As soon as he is finished, he jumps up and runs out the doors leaving his mess behind on the table. He runs across the courtyard dodging trees and bushes that he leaps over. People stare at him but he takes no notice. He runs into the Meadowvale Rehabilitation Center, up to the fourth floor, down the hallway and opens the door to Dr. Scott Grumman's office without knocking. He hears a young female voice say,
"…me in the mix with my intelligence? Of course it will." Without looking at the girl he says,
"Now you can't forget about me and my rather sharp brain." The girl looks up and stares at this boy who is tall with blonde hair. He is so handsome that she stops thinking and just takes in all of his features. Scott smiles at the girl who he noticed has gone temporarily dumb.
"Welcome," Scott says to the boy. "Ah yes, introductions!" Now the boy looks at the girl and it is his turn to come over speechless. She has red hair and a face that could only belong to someone who is angelic. Scott notices the how the two are staring at each other as if they'd never seen a member of the opposite sex before.
"Ahem." Scott clears his throat, which barely deters either of them. He begins a little more loudly. "Jules, I'd like you to meet Penny. Penny, this is Jules. You two will be working and learning together from now on."
