Unseen Love

Chapter 1

The sound of my baby sisters cry travels down the hall. I grab my pillow and cover my ears trying to block the sounds out but still I can hear muffled sounds of crying. 'Shut up!' I yell as I crawl further into my blanket. I hear foot steps coming up the hallway it's probably Mum she walk into my room, she looks frazzled and tired her brown hair all knotty at the roots, my conclusion: stress. 'Time for the school fate remember your holding the "dagger throw" stall' she claims with an emphasis on the dagger throw 'Oh right' this cheers me up a bit more, I get to hold my own stall today and it is just what I wanted it to be dagger throwing. I get changed into plain jeans and a blue top, basic but nice, I quickly tie my long black hair into a braid and run down the corridor. 'Whats for breakfast?' I queer I have a bit more enthusiasm than I usually do 'Well we are having it there so whatever you want' she said 'I'm still not happy about your stall decision, even though they are fake daggers' she sighed heavily.

We arrive at the fate at about 8am in the morning. I saw the classes all hurrying about to get there work done. I heard the worried mutters of students as they walked by, I reach my stall and almost everything is set up I only have to get the fake daggers out and ready to throw. I see my best friend Lilia trying to keep the targets up right. I run over and give her a hug 'Hey! Don't worry about those we have plenty of time to get them up, I don't know why everyone is so stressed' I exclaim 'Haha, yeah we are all just overwhelmed I think' Lilia muttered. I ended pinning up the targets to save Lilia the stress, I look over and see her sitting in the corner reading silently to herself. I run over and nudge her 'We are ready to go!' I yowl with enthusiasm she glares at me with her bright golden eyes 'What's up with you?' I ask 'nothing...' She says in a whiny voice. Something's wrong with her and I'm going to get it out of her sooner or later. I see the principal Ms. Nixon stop at our stall 'this is... Interesting' she mutters 'Yeah Lilia and I decided to do something different for a change" I say walking up to our stall entrance I see people starting to arrive. 'Just remember girls the raffle is on at 12 you don't want to miss it' Ms Nixon stated with an evilish grin, she walks off with her hands behind her back. 'Well she's in a joyous mood. Lil get up we have customers' I say.

After hours of people attempting to get the dagger on the target it was time for the raffle. 'I wonder what the prize is?' I say to Mum who is pushing the stroller back and forth 'I don't know but rumors are going around that it's going to be a trip' she replies. 'Hello, Hello how are you enjoying the fair?' Ms Nixon says as she walks on stage 'goooooood' the crowd replies Ms Nixon continues with a gleam in her eyes 'Well that's excellent, we will be drawing 2 winners from the bowl and they will win a trip to An unknown place!' Oos and aahs came from the audience. Ms Nixon shoved her hand into the bowl and grabbed out a ticket 'Black ticket 66, Kai' I've seen Kai before he has messy blond hair and eyes the colour of the ocean. He walks up to the stage with a small grin 'Kai can you please select another ticket' Ms Nixon said. Kai reached his hand into the bowl and grabbed out and handed it to Ms Nixon 'Excellent choice, Purple ticket 96 Athena' I looked at the ticket in my hand and sure enough it was mine, I walked up to the stage pushing past glum looking people. When I reached the stage Ms Nixon started blabbering about how lucky we were and how she appreciated all the contributions. I looked over at Kai and he looked back, I never have noticed the little green specs sitting in his glamorous blue eyes. I turned away and saw Ms Nixon coming to talk to us 'Here are your tickets and here is some money' she handed us 1 ticket and about $50 '1 ticket aren't our family's coming with us' Kai queried 'Dont be ridiculous you 2 are going together!' She snapped back. She stormed off the stage and left Kai and I staring after her. 'She has some serious issues' I muttered 'I agree, she is very weird. Look at this our ticket says our plane leaves tomorrow!' I glanced at the bottom of the ticket and sure enough it said Plane leaves on the 22nd of April.
