The Reasons

The Teacher

Annie's POV:
Such a rude but charming guy. He's nice for driving me to school. Maybe he'll be different tomorrow or later today. So where's my first class? Room 4-29, so the fourth floor 29th room. So many people go to this school compared to where I was before. I sit in my desk that I'm assigned to by the teacher since I'm the first here this morning. "My name's Annie by the way," I tell him. "Nice to meet you dear. I'm Mr. Pete." I take out my supplies and then guess who walks through the room? Alex, this is great. "Good morning Alex," Mr. Pete tells Alex. "Pete, what's up? Ohh hey Annie!" He's nicer now. I'm so confused. Why did he call him Pete? I thought it was Mr. Pete. "Alex did you just not call him Mr. Pete?" I ask. He tells me in a formal way, "Because he's my dad." Well that's surprising! "Well, my stepdad, but still. He's my dad."

Well wasn't that just interesting, I was waiting for someone to tell out "PLOT TWIST" but sadly I didn't hear anyone say it. So far this town is exactly what I was told it was, weird and creepy; I'm still not sure what these people keep asking me about. It was something along the lines of "How did you get in the city," or something. Whatever I guess, I'll figure that out later.

"So class, what's the difference between the three types of government? Umm, Annie!" Mr. Pete just called on me to answer this... great, "Honestly, I have no idea." I just majorly screwed up... Alex looks at me and shakes his head. Mr. Pete comments on my statement, "Annie, have you not been paying attention to the lecture this hour? Why in..." And that's the bell. Thank lord for that. I hurry and rush out the door, apparently not fast enough. "Annie, why didn't you answer? You really upset my stepdad," Alex asked me. I try to ignore him but fall in and tell him I'm sorry.

The rest of the day was extremely weird and didn't make much sense. More of those questions about me and my appearance, rumors about me already, and something about a sudden disappearance. I wonder what that's all about. I walked home because I felt like being alone for a while. I needed to gather my thoughts and figure something out.
