This is a fluffy story that is filled with multiple oneshots and mini stories. My friend and I came up with the idea of making this. Each chapter is going to be from the perspective of one of two girls:

- Annalice (Anna) Kyler

- Sadibelle (Sadie) Augreen

This story is just for fun, and it helps me get over my writers block by writing something off the top of my head, instead of having precise requirements to follow.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: That Branch Was Jinxed!

My name is Annalice.

This is the story of when I started living…the way my heart wanted me to.

It was a beautiful day. I felt the warm spring breeze blowing thought my short black hair, causing it to blow in my face. My sight was periodically blocked, restricting my view of the park down below me. From the tree branch I sat upon, I watched as children frolicked about in the cool grass, their laughter ringing in my ears. I watched as my own brother played field hockey with his young friends. I love hockey. I was so happy that Jordan, my brother, loved hockey too.

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't hear the branch breaking beneath me. Though I am skinny, my weight was too much for this small branch. I felt the branch snap, and I was falling before I had time to register what had just happened.

I closed my eyes, shutting out the sight of the fast approaching ground. I felt stupid for sitting on one of the top branches of the tree. I didn't even have time to scream before I felt myself land. But instead of the cold, hard ground I had been expecting, I felt the warmth of secure arms around me, saving me from falling any further.

I opened my eyes, yearning to see my savior. My green eyes met concerned blue eyes. The blue pools were unfamiliar, but I felt instantly safe. My savior was a boy around 16, with messy blonde hair and those dazzling blue eyes. His look of concern melted away and then became a soft look. He smiled at me softly, his eyes showing an underlying emotion.

"Hi."

Oh gosh! I absolutely loved his voice. It was soft and kind, but manly and strong at the same time. I found myself looking away from him to reply.

"H-hello," I stuttered out. What was wrong with me? Maybe it was that stupid branch. That thing was jinxed. I hoped no one really saw that…

I looked around us, startled by the crowd of young hockey players gathering around us. Apparently, the mystery boy noticed them too. I suddenly became very aware that he was still holding me. I started blushing profusely.

I felt myself being lowered onto my feet. I looked up and saw the boy blushing, his hand scratching the back of his neck out of nervousness. I looked down shyly.

My brother took that as his cue to leave.

"Come on, guys. Let's go somewhere less…awkward."

Jordan and his friends left, leaving me and the mystery boy alone. I looked up at him fully, noticing how he looked familiar. I saw him look at me and smile. His smile was contagious; I smiled back.

"Hi. I'm Nathan Hale. I'm glad to see you're ok," he said with a slight trace of a blush on his face. I smiled wider at his blush.

"My name is Anna Kyler. And, yes, I am ok," I replied shyly. His next question caught me off guard.

"You're real name is Annalice, right?"

"Um…" I muttered hesitantly. How did he known that?

Apparently, my hesitance shown clearly upon my face, for his eyes widened.

"No, it's ok! We go to the same school! I have English class with you," Nathan replied quickly. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"You still haven't answered my question." I looked up at him with a perplexed look, taking note of the soft smile on his face. I suddenly remembered his question.

"Yes. My real name is Annalice, but no one uses it. People say it's too…uncommon," I explained. Nathan looked at me with unsure eyes.

"May I call you that?" he asked nervously. I half-smiled at him. Why would anyone want to use that name?

"Yes, but I think it's a weird name," I stated as I had many times before to my family.

"No, it's not a weird name. It's a lovely name. It suits you perfectly," he replied softly. I looked away from him, my cheeks extremely hot. We were silent for a few moments, both of us nervously looking at anything but the other person. I thought about what he had said. Me? Lovely? Hardly.

"Ya, lovely for a girl that just fell out of a tree." I muttered. Nathan looked at me, clearly amused.

"No, lovely for a girl that was on the wrong size branch," he replied, laughing. I laughed too.

"I swear, that tree branch was jinxed!" I exclaimed. He slowly stopped laughing, a soft smile on his lips. My heart melted inside at the sight.

"But, if it weren't for that tree branch, I wouldn't have been able to talk to you. And I know that no one would ever want to miss that chance," Nathan said. I looked away, blushing lightly. I then looked back at him, and smiled when I saw his enchanting blue eyes.

I thought that this is going to be the beginning of a great friendship, but little did I know what the future had in store for me.

Ok, that was very sappy. My friend and I have been working on this (well, I wrote it, but she made sure that I was following the criteria that we had made), and we really hope that people will enjoy it!
