How it began

It happened to me that thursday, which is no surprise seems Thursdays are unlucky for me well I mean have been ever since ...ever since it happened.Perhaps I should rewind a bit,maybe to the beginning of the Thursday.It was like any ordinary day at Bishop Deoth or as I like to call it Bishop Death.I arrived 1 minute late but it wasn't really late seems they hadn't taken registration.After packing my stuff in my half of my locker,see Joe (my best friend) and I share just about everything so I guess it's so good that we are best friends but back to the subject .I scanned the class for my seat as soon as I found my English text book I noticed it had been moved and I don't mean swichted my place around someone had tampered with my book.After sorting out my text book I sat down next to Joe and if you didn't guess we choose our seats,I mean come on with all the talking we do we would be either end of the class if it was up to the tutors.Now me and Joe are always having random conversations,the subject today was the Harry Potter film the night before Harry Potter #6 (the half blood prince)it was epic and so was our conversation we talk and write so we weren't even on the tutors miout.we were on the part when Harry gets the old text book in potions class and finds out that he has the half blood prince' (Snape) and it has all the answers to the lessons because at that moment the bell for recess went.On our way out we heard stupid remarks like 'your mama's ugly even hello kitty said goodbye' me and Joe just continued to mutter about Harry Potter until we heard "hey you two" we spun around to find Jeff and Bob the school bullies chanting chanting our names,we got confused and asked why they were doing it;they both pulled faces and then burst out laughing "dropped your gay card Darren," called Jeff."dropped ya gay card Joe," called Bob seconds after Jeff."don't you mean you two dropped your gay cards," me and Joe called back in unison then burst out laughing as they both turned to look;we couldn't believe they fell for their own joke.Such a success called for a celebration,fist bump and high five. After recess we both had mathematics with Mr. Power.We were a minute and a half late for class so Mr. Power decided it was a good idea to make a joke "should I maybe get my wife to make you some new clothes one of you shall wear a jumper of maps and the other of watches then maybe you won't be late for class". When we found our books well let's just say things started to get a bit creepy.Guess what?You guessed it our books had been tampered with.Only this time something even stranger happened. Joe told me to go to the back of my book,so was quick as sound I flicked to my last page.I had a cocktail of emotions mainly made up of confusion and feeling intrigued.I had a threat that someone ,one of my acquaintances,is gonna get hurt if they have to give me one more warning." Do you know what it means?"questioned joe."no," I answered "wait what does your say?" I questioned,I looked over to his page it read:¥¶∆@£-&+)-( "oh yours is different from mine?" I said. "Why what does yours say?" Asked Joe."well I've been threatened that if I get one more warning they are going to kill everyone I know starting with my friends;basically watch your back,"I said.Joe literally dropped his jaw,he was speechless.I didn't know what I was doing wrong so I continued the day as normal well almost normal me and Joe were extra careful,we kept our eyes peeled.It was only after school I saw Arielle come around the corner as soon as we saw each other we ran towards each other then she slowed I stopped by how puzzling it was then she began to stagger there was steps between us when sh-she fell to her knees and eventually dropped at my feet.She had been shot.I found an arrow.it was attached to letter.it read 'I warned you!!'I rang Joe. When he got there I told him she had been shot.I told him to stay with her as I had seen someone go into an alley.I ran into the alley.I saw a black hoodie flash around the corner.Even though I could of caught him/her I was distracted by writing on a wall although this was different i-it was written in blood.I read it it aloud "Darren Shannara we warned you, this is only the beginning," the words slipped from my mouth.
