Life in the future will be different from life today. Between then and now many changes will happen. But what will the changes be?
The population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than people live now.

Sara went to her room and called Gina, the leader of Purple Girls Club.

Gina just said, "Exams? Who cares about exams?"
One by one, she called all her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help her. Then Sara thought of Ada. She knew Ada would help her. She also knew Ada had been hurt by her, but Ada said, "If you need any help, just let me know. We can study together till your exams."
