I won't bore you. Trust me. This isn't a story about a girl who goes to school and has to deal with the school bullies, worry about grades and a troublesome boyfriend. No. Its about a world you would think never existed. It's about fairies, dragons, gnomes and unicorns. Pixies, mermaids, walking plants and talking animals. You will also discover new ways the sun and moon orbit the unknown earth. The way the people a creatures live out their normal lives. It's also about a thing that most people don't know. Trust. This is a story about me and my friend. We were close but we got closer. And as our journey goes on you will find we grow trust in one another. We also... fall in love.
I'm seventeen and have never believed in fairies. I know what your thinking. What about when I was young? The answer to that is... I didn't. Maybe it's the way my father use to treat me or just that I didn't want to be childish. I'm tall with long copper hair and bright green eyes. I have high cheek bones and full pail lips that go well with my white skin. I'm stubborn and don't like taking help from others. I also never cry. My name is Engine Kingston.
Ashton is eighteen and is a totally weirdo. I love him but... his head is always in a book. He's tall and very handsome with a strong set jaw and dark brown eyes. His body is well built with a broad chest and defined abs and biceps. He has black hair and a killer grin. We've been friends since we were little and I don't know if I could live without him.
Our journey starts on a Saturday February twenty-ninth on a leap year. "Hey Gin, whats up? Ready for something that will blow your mind?" Ashton asks excitedly as he slides in beside me in the Cafeteria. I swallow my mouth full and look at him. Ashton never shows at school anymore. Since he graduated he kind of doesn't have to but I miss him all the same. "Spill" I say and frown at him as he gives me a side grin and unzips his bag. Inside there are way to many things to count but on the top is and old photo album and an box we had carved as kids. Ashton is so hot in his black shirt and faded jeans. Okay yes I have a crush in him when I shouldn't and I tell myself I don't like him but the more I say that to myself I crush on him harder and harder. "I finished the invention thing you were working on last weekend and I hope you don't mind but I made into a travelers devise" He says and looks at my to see how I have reacted. "What do you mean?" I ask puzzled and also pissed at him for not asking first. " It can take us to another world, Engine. We could leave this fuckin' hell hole behind and go some where know one will ever know. See things we've never seen" he grabs my hands and forces me to look at him. "Lets do something we're going to remember". I shake my head no. I have to graduate and study my engineering. I look at Ashton and all the hope and excitement in his face and I crumple. He looks so happy I haven't seen him like this for years. "Okay" I say slowly still working this over in mt head. "But if this fails the blame falls on your shoulders" I worn. His face breaks into a huge smile and he pulls me into a massive bear hug. "You won't regret this" He says. "I promise".
