Life

Chapter 2

     I walk inside, scared to what I might find there. Luckily I manage to get inside without any problems. I am able to get down the hall and up the stairs to my room. Everything is quiet and for once I'm happy about that. Normally my Mom and Dad, as I should call them, aren't home. That's odd because they normally like to make sure I'm home before they can go back to work. Somehow, for once in my life, I was worried about them and what could go on.

   Now, no, I'm not heartless, it's just I have a hard time worrying about them when all they want me to do is stay home and be a good little girl. I'm even surprised that they let me walk home from school. Okay don't let me think of it if they did that I don't know what I would do. I am so lucky I have Kira, at least she somewhat understands. Now speaking of Kira, a ring, ring, is started to come from somewhere buried in my book bag. Luckily if I donn't pick up, it will just keep ringing. Thank goodness.

     At times like these I wish that I had less homework, not more. Banging my hand on the desk, I tried to relieve my anger to no avail. After reaching down deep in my bag, my hand shot out, triumphantly. There it is, a perfect cell phone. Most friends would've given up long ago, not Kira.

   The ring sounded around the room, as I finally was able to open the phone and answer her, "Hello."

     "Tori, Tori, Tori, what am I going to do with you, you lost your phone again. How do you always seem to do that?" she began.

   " Do you think I can not help but to lose it?"

   " Your right, but, is your parents listening?"

    "No, they aren't home. It scares me." I answered. And it truly did, although I may not like my adoptive parents, they were extremely protective. I don't understand what could be going on. I don't think I want  to know. What could be going on? 

     I must look like conflicting personalities, but they live such organised lives, to 'keep me out of trouble' that it has been thirty minutes since school was let out and nobody is telling me what to do, it's eerie. It's like if you do something you whole life, but then, when you forget it for a day it can seem odd and that something is wrong, but you don't know why.

    While contemplating this, it seemed that Kira had hung up, at some point, I wasn't paying much attention. I don't know why, but I had this funny feeling, that all was not right in the world, and, as well, that it had something to do with me and something big, something that I knew that I can't ignore, or run away from, forever. Now try thinking of that.

  I kept on contemplating that, for what  seemed like forever, but I knew it couldn't have been. The minutes went by, but I didn't realise the time. I couldn't stop thinking of what could be going on, and for what purpose it could be. Were my adoptive parents testing me? Or was something else going on that I don't understand about? I desperately hoped that it was the first option. If it was the second, oh no, trouble was coming. If only I knew then, what was going on.

        But soon, as I heard shuffling on the stairs and a door slamming in the doorway, that I would find out things that I probably should've known long ago, but not everything would be answered. But the adventure had begun, and there was no escaping it. This would be an adventure that can't be missed, even though I might not've wanted it to really happen. Like a song says, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" 

  As I was in my room, I had no idea, how my life was going to start, sooner than I thought.
