10 years ago
It was pouring rain and it was extremely windy. Thunder was crashing, and lightning was lighting up the town every few minutes. Suddenly a car sped across the town line, and headed straight into the middle of the town. Out of no where lightning struck and hit the car, and it sped out of control and crashed. The two passengers inside were rushed to the hospital, but only one survived. A little under 1 year old girl who was in the back seat. That girl is me, and ten years ago I first came to this town. Sadly my mom didn't make it, but I was fortunate and survived
Present
Today was the 10 year anniversary of the day I first came to this weird town. How do I celebrate? I think to myself. Oh yeah by sitting at home like every other day.
Ring! The bell goes, and I grab my backpack and head out the door.
"Claire, wait!" A voice calls from behind me.
"What do you want?" I ask the group of people behind me annoyed.
"What's this?" One of the girls asks me grabbing a piece of paper full of my doodles from my hand. "Something stupid right?"
"Just leave me alone," I say reaching for my paper. I grab it out of their hands and storm off.
I walk over to my locker and put in the combo: 15,23,8. It clicks and I reach in and grab my books from inside. Then I go outside and walk over to the bushes and grab my skateboard from its hiding place. Then I throw it on the ground and head home.
I'm just leaving the middle school when I almost run into this kid. I look up from where I fell and see that it's the mayor's kid. I think we are in the same grade.
"Sorry," I apologize. "I didn't see you are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine." He says then pauses. "My name's Henry, what's your name?"
"Claire." I inform him.
"Hi Claire," Henry says back. "Can I tell you something?"
"Sure why not." I reply, then I glance down at my watch and see I'm not in a rush.
"Can you keep a secret?" He asks me and I nod. "I think everyone here is from a fairytale."
"Really, who are you?" I ask him, I sigh people can have such big imaginations.
"Oh I'm not one of them, because I was adopted," he informs me. "But my mom is the Evil Queen and my teacher is Snow White. I'm still working on my classmates and a few other people though."
"Who am I?" I ask him curiously.
"Umm I'm not sure yet." He informs me, "but as soon as I know I'll tell you." He hands me a piece of paper. "Your the first person I've told, here's the list of who is who so far."
"Thanks..." I say and then shove the paper into my pocket. "I should probably be getting home, it'll get dark soon."
"Thanks for listening!" He thanks me, then waves goodbye running towards his house.
"No problem..." I reply even though he can't hear me. "That was weird." I look at the list. It's really detailed. I shove it back into my pocket and skate home, deciding that it's just his imagination overreacting.
