Chapter 1: Characters
Many things in this world don't have an explanation. They might look normal, even common, but when you take a good look at them, you discover that they are the complete opposite. These things, don't have an explanation, or at least, not a direct one. It seems confusing, but once you know my story, you will understand what i mean; you will understand how such simple things in life can show up being you never thought could be possible.
Here is my story.
My own and terrifying story, that i once shared with my best friends.
My name is Samantha, but people prefer to call me Sam, because it’s much shorter. I'm 16, i have ginger hair, and vibrant blue eyes, I'm pale, and have light freckles. There is so much and so little at the same time that you can say from me. I seem like a normal teenager, one of those that listen to One Direction, and those groups, but in reality, I'm the complete opposite. I’m a punk, or at least that is what I feel. I may not dress all the time like one, but it’s not what you look like what matters, its what you truly are to yourself. Like any other teenage girl, I have my friends and enemies, but mostly friends, because I’m the social type of person, so I don’t have many enemies. I have my crushes and my secrets too, which I know I can share with my older twin brother, Ryan. Ryan is actually a player, so he is basically the complete opposite from me, but he understands me like no one else does, and he respects my things and space; although he can be really annoying sometimes, he is still my brother. He is just lie me, with ginger hair, and blue eyes, but he has even less freckles than I do. He is a bit taller than me, and he is the sports-player of our little group of friends. He is actually the basketball team’s captain.
Unlike my brother, my best friend Steven, or Steve, he doesn’t even go close to the courts unless it’s to go to P.E. class. But on the other hand, he is one of the best artists that I know from school, and I know a lot of people. Art is his passion; and he loves to draw in my arms as if he was doing henna tattoos. He has dark brown hair, and stunning green eyes. He is like my second brother, but he barely knows half of what I tell Ryan, but we do share most of our secrets and worries. Steven is a few heads taller than me, so he is normally then one who ends up under a pile of people that use him as a pillow, and of course I’m the first in line.
My second best friend is Brooke; she is an average-sized person, not too tall nor too short, not too fat nor too skinny. She has the darkest shade of black hair I have ever seen, and she has also green eyes, but tinted with a bit of brown. Brooke is my joking buddy, together we are considered the school clowns. Not in a bad way, actually, not at all, we are just really fun people to be with, and also, I must admit that we can be really annoying with our jokes, but I really don’t care, we have fun and that’s what matters. We spend most of the time together, so, with almost everything we see, we have the most uncalled jokes in mind.
Lindsey is a very shy person. She is the one that most understands my personality, because, as I said before, I’m not like the regular teenagers, but neither is she. She is completely blonde, almost looking fake, and she has some nice chocolate-brown eyes. She is really tall to be a girl, and she is extremely skinny, but not anorexic. I said that she is nothing like a normal teenager because of her looks. Even if in a bikini, you could mistake her for a prep, she is the opposite-. Yes, she is the ‘emo’ girl of the group, and that’s why she understands me so well, at first, I seem to be a really plain girl, just like those clones of one another, but in the inside, I’m just like her. Believe it or not, she has also got a twin brother, Andy, but no one ever believes them, because he is physically opposed to her. Yes, he is just as tall and skinny, and then you are wondering, ‘if they are completely opposite physically, wasn’t Andy supposed to be short and chubby?’, well, he has dark black hair, with blue eyes just as piercing as mine. The only proof that they are twins is that sweet smirk that they both have. Andy wants to start a band, a rock band, and I am sure that one day he will make it high, and he will reach his dream.
Alex is the shyest of the group. He has nice blondish hair, with clear brown eyes and slightly tanned skin. He was a really down two earth boy, up until a few grades now, when Dis came to the school. Dis, Dis, Disarray, you have taken our sweet Alex away, but you have brought him back at the same time. Dis is the prep of the group, but she is not a stuck-up b*tch like all the others around here. She is just as blonde as Lindsey, and mesmerizing blue eyes, with hints of brown. These were what captivated Alex, believe it or not, Alex was going down the same path as my brother, getting to be a player, but when she came, he went shy and blushing. For that I’m grateful, because I don’t think I would have been able two stand two jerk players, when I sometimes can even deal with one.
My group of friends is the most strange and unique group I have ever seen. We are: two pairs of twins, an emo girl, a player, a preppy girl, a shy guy, two clowns, and an artist, always without excluding the singer. We also managed to have between us the two most intelligent people at our grade, Alex and Steven, who have managed, somehow, to keep their grade record in straight A’s since freshmen year. We are all different from each other, and yet none of us are bullied, and none of us bully. We are the perfect proof to the students that you don’t have to bully or be bullied for how you are, and that everyone has to accept you the way you are, even embrace your personality.
As any other girl, I expected this year to be special, you know, like managing to get a boyfriend, or falling in love, maybe becoming a mere crush on someone. But what I least expected, was to find out that my life was about to become a living hell from that day on. The day we got trapped.
