Flickering Lights

Chapter 1

"Guys you're father has got a promotion!"
My mom exclaimed happily as I was stuffing my face with pancakes not wanting to be late for school 3rd time in a row. Not getting the desired reaction from my brother or me she added," The house is big enough for both of you'll to get your own room." At this my 10 year brother Cole let out a whoop and screamed,"I'm finally free of my mons- I mean I finally get my own room!" Cole quickly changed his sentence at Moms glare.

My mom then pointedly looked at me obviously expecting a similar reaction. Heavily disappointing her I just rolled my eyes muttered a "great" grabbed my bag and left leaving those delicious chocolate pancakes with chocolate chips and chocolate syrup uneaten on the table.

Looks like we're moving, how nice I thought to myself. I wouldn't mind if we moved to an old house in the middle of nowhere which no one has inhabited for many years. That would be interesting. But knowing my family it will be a newly built house on a busy street with freshly painted walls and no secret buried inside. I just can't wait.

I quickly entered the my school, St.Xaviers Academy and ran to my locker. Grabbing my books I entered my home room just as my homeroom teacher called out my name. "Here" I screamed breathlessly and slid into the seat next to my best friend Melanie. I was always jealous of how she looked. She had long honey blonde hair and crystal blue eyes and extremely tall with a figure like a Victoria secret  model."Cutting it close aren't we " she smirked. "Oh shush"I replied then excitedly said" The Boy is coming out soon I can't wait. It's gonna be the best horror movie yet. We just have to watch it-" Rudely cutting me off my dear friend Melanie shrieked " Madison Hayes your horror movies obsession has to stop. We're going to watch a romcom movie not some stupid horror movie. I don't know how you like those things." She even added a fake shiver in the end. All in all an Oscars winning speech but not going to convince me. I loved my horror movies and books. But I'm not obsessed. I just love the thrill it gives me when you read the part when you know somethings going to happen but you can't stop it and when something unexpected happens and your heart jumps also the way there is a spooky atmosphere created windows shaking dark night plates breaking and.. okay maybe I'm a little obsessed.

Since I was kid I wanted to experience the horror movies I had read. Whenever I saw movie I always thought what would I have done if I was in the main characters place. If you ask me if I believe in spirits I wouldn't be able to answer. I don't think ghosts exists as I've never seen one yet I always hope they exist and there's a tiny voice in my head always saying what if...

The bell rang and everyone went in different directions to get to their classes on time. I too waved Melanie bye and headed for English. Now English was an interesting class. It was my favourite class as the teacher Ms Wille actually had an interest in the subject and didn't make it life's sole purpose to burden her students with projects, essays and assignments. She cared for her students and I loved her teaching style. Melanie thought I liked this class for another reason. The guy who sat next to me was really cute or as she put it so fucking hot that she would totally do him if she was in my place. His name was Will Hastings and he was the most sought after guy in our school. Like all schools even mine had a queen bee Sophia Tanner and it seemed as if her only life goal was to be his girlfriend. Oh and she also spread her legs for any male of any age who had the misfortune to come in her line of sight.

Let's hope English was a good lesson and didn't make my day worse.
