The Beast

Prologue

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if you did the unexpected. Or how people would react if you did it. For example, going parachuting or reading a book without pictures. If you were a shy person and suddenly spoke out in front of a massive crowd, how would your friends react? 

Its 10 AM and almost time for 2nd period to end. Amelia waits patiently for the bell to ring whilst reading a book. Her work is on the side and ready for the teacher to collect. She looks at the clock and closes her book, setting it aside and packs her stuff. 

Then the bell rings and Amelia walks out of the classroom, reopening her book and miraculously avoiding the forming crowd. 

"Amelia!" She hears a familiar voice and turns around to find her friend Meghan. Amelia smiles at her and walks slower for Meghan to catch up. 

"You left without me, again!" Meghan exclaims. 

"You should move faster then." Amelia says. Meghan frowns and eyes the book. 

"Weren't you reading a different book yesterday?" Meghan questions. 

"Yeah but I finished that and I started reading this." Amelia tells her.

"But you're almost done with it!" Meghan says in astonishment. 

"Its a good book, you should try reading sometime." 

"The amount of sarcasm in you is shocking." 

Amelia grins but then bumps her arm into someone else causing her book to fall.

"Hey!" Meghan yells at the guy that bumped into Amelia. He looks back at the two girls and doesn't say anything. His eyes are wide open and he has a black hoodie on. The guy runs off, not even bothering to help Amelia pick her book up. 

Meghan glares at the guy who runs off and huffs. Amelia rolls her eyes and picks up the book, holding it close to her chest. 

"What a jerk." Meghan says, "you okay?" 

Amelia shrugs, "Yeah, I'm fine. Who was that? He looked like he was in trouble or something." 

"You don't want to know." 

Amelia gives her a look and Meghan sighs, "Its just some emo freak who you should avoid. He does drugs, smoke, and steals candy from babies." 

"What an explanation." Amelia says sarcastically. 

"You asked." Meghan shrugs, "Anyways, how is that story?" 

"Its almost done. I just need to find an artist." Amelia says, taking her journal out and flipping to the page with possible artists. 

"These people aren't motivated enough and have no artist expression. In all they just aren't good enough for what I have in mind." 

"You're so picky. And I'm sure the readers won't look too closely on it." Meghan says. 

"No this has to be perfect." Amelia tells her, "I gotta go, I have to meet up with some more possible illustrators, but who am I kidding?" 

She walks off in frustration, ignoring Meghan's bye.
