Proxy

Chapter One

"Now that the house is together do you like it? " Mom asked.

"I do! Especially the woods in the back yard." I said excitedly.

"We live in the country, that's not so unlikely." My older brother Ryan remarked.

"Don't be rude to Nathan." Mom defended me.

"Yeah!" I said, "Besides, the woods here are different. They look more like a meadow then all the other trees I've seen."

"I personally just want wifi." Ryan said bored already.

"I'll get it in around a week." Mom looked defeated at trying to get Ryan outdoors.

I went Ito my room and looked at the mirror. My hair was died black. Now I look almost as good as Will. Thank you Cassandra Clare for the amazing books you write!

My eyes are even dark blue like Wills. I go outside a lot, but my skin is still pale! I guess it's because the woods provide enough shade for me. I'm wearing a white hoodie with dark blue skinny jeans. I have black converse on.

I look good enough. Even though no one is going to see me in the woods, I like looking nice.

"Mom I'm going outside." I said.

"Ok. Be home by two. Lunch will be ready by then."

"Ok"

I checked my phone. Only twelve. That gives me two hours. I walked outside and into the back yard. The wind is blowing softly. It is march thirtieth right now, spring time.

A deer is eating right by the trees. I took a picture of it. It scurried off into the woods. The flash must have scared it.

"Wow, this is beautiful!" I said walking into the woods. I could hear a stream somewhere. I decided to look for it. It was in sight now, like only ten yards away.

"Somewhere you lead to a creak or a lake." I said to my self. I could see the prints of a deer following the stream, so I followed those.

I looked ahead of me the whole time. This is just amazing! I saw someone walking up ahead. maybe I could meet someone in the woods. It might be safer to keep distance though. Who knows, it could be a pedafile!

After thirty minutes of walking it finally lead me to a lake. I jumped off of a little cliff in the ground. There were frogs by the lake.

"Frogs!" I yelled. All the frogs jumped away from the water. I could see a dragonfly above the lake. I took a picture.

I looked at all the tadpoles in the water. I don't know what is so fascinating about these things! Even in my total concentration on the tadpoles, I felt like I was being watched. The woods only had a few trees to hide behind this far into them.

Turning around I saw the little cliff I jumped off of earlier had a little crevice under it. I checked it out and saw that it had a pencil.

"That was smart," I yelled out." You know, leaving behind your pencil."

"Fuck!" Someone muttered. A girl came out from behind a tree. She had pale skin and light brown hair. She is holding a sketch pad.

"At least I know you have common sense." She said. She is wearing all black.

"You look like your on yen-fen." I ignored her earlier remark.

"You look like your a fuck boy."

"That is not true. I do not and I assume since you didn't question me about yen-fen that you read Cassandra Clare."

"She's my favorite author."

"Mine too. Let me see your drawing."

She handed me her sketch pad. The drawing looked so realistic!

"This is really good!"

"Eh. Im Izzy. Whats your name?"

"Not eh it is really good. My name is Nathan."

"I've seen better."

Who Leonardo Divinci?"

"Him yes. Im sure your good at something though."

"I can't really do anything."

"That's a lie. You can do something."

"Nope!"

"I'm finding out what it is." Izzy said," Let me see your picture of the dragon fly."

I handed her my phone. The picture was blurry.

"So photography isn't your thing. Draw a picture."

I drew a picture in her sketch pad.

"Well that's an ugly rhino!"

"It's not a rhino! it's a unicorn!" I pouted.

Next I tried singing, then dancing in every way you can think of.

"Well you can twerk!" Izzy said grinning.

"Like that will ever come in handy!"

"You don't know that. Maybe you're gay."

"My mom would kill me if I even had a gay friend!"

"Why?"

"My dad left her for a man after I was born."

I checked the time. Well it is one forty exactly.

"Well I have to go home. Bye Izzy."

"Bye."
