Ok here’s a part of the first chapter….
1.Moving
“There was a boy…not someone I really recognize. But I was-I guess you can say-racing to save him.”
“Save him from what?” The counselor, Mr. Burns, asked, bored, as if he’s seen too many weeks of my crazy nightmares. Which he had. I’d been going to his office for three weeks now, telling him about my strange nightmares about this boy who I knew only in the dream, but outside of it, in reality, I didn’t know him from Adam.
“I’m not sure…” I answered pathetically.
“Well,” he said, trying his hardest to look like he actually wanted to help. “Do you have any friends who remind you of this boy?”
“No,” I answered. “I don’t have any friends at all.” He knew this. Who would want to be friends with a freak like me?
“What about any family members? Cousins, perhaps?”
“The only family member I know is my older sister,” I started to wonder why I was sitting here. We’d had this exact same conversation yesterday, and the day before yesterday. It was like we were both actors who had memorized a script, and neither one of us wanted to be here. “And he looks nothing like me.” I said, pointing to my brown skin.
“What does he look like?” Mr. Burns asked, a faint hint of interest in his voice. Well this was new. I’d never really described him before.
“Um…,” I hesitated, struggling for the right words. He’d always been inside my head. It felt strange to let him free into reality. “He had brown hair…with white skin…um brown eyes.” I felt proud of myself. I didn’t expect to get that much out. But the weak interest left Mr. Burn’s eyes and I could tell he was disappointed. He was probably expecting some kind of alien creature instead of some boring teenager.
“Oh well,” he said, bored again. And then he yawned. “Maybe you’re just nervous about your move. Afton, New York I hear?” I wanted to groan. The last thing I needed to be reminded about was moving to a small town. Not that I would miss Los Angeles, a smaller town just meant everyone would know who I was. I would be the freak of the school. The center of all of the points and laughter. And Afton had a horrifying population of 800 people….
“Yeah,” I said. “Maybe I’m just nervous.” The bell rang, and before Mr. Burns made his escape out of the door, he managed a really fake smile. Well, at least he put effort into it. All of the students at that school just glared.
“Jefferson High is really going to miss you, Court.” As he left, I tried as hard as I could not to roll my eyes, but I failed, knowing they couldn’t wait to get rid of me. Eventually, after sitting in about thirty seconds of misery, I got out of the chair and headed to my quire class, the only class I was actually good at, and also my last class of the day.
