           Chapter 1
          The Wound

On a dark rainy day, the innocent deprived of their freedom, the indescribable, the unexpected, the only thing that seeks the knowledge from us; Mr. Quade's history test.

"Time's up." Quade's voice said overpowering my whispers to the boy next to me who unfortunately wasn't about to give me any answers.

I was the last to pass in my test when Quade stopped me.

"No need for that Ms.Summers, I assumed you'd try to cheat" He said while walking to sit in his chair. I was his worst student and his way of putting "assumed" was that making an ass out of u and me was simply telling me that he's aware of my attempts to make him go insane every time I enter his classroom.

"You've got detention after school today and I want a 2000 word essay on the 'Third republic' at my desk before 8:00 A.M tomorrow." He said.

"But there's no school tomorrow," I muttered, "and I didn't-" before I could finish Quade interrupted me.

"Well I guess you have school tomorrow." He said, and laid back in his chair waving his hand as I was dismissed.

I was walking into the cafeteria cursing at myself for getting myself into this when Sam called me to our table. "What took you so long? Was Quade spazzing out at you again?" 

"Yeah, this time I got blamed for cheating when I was just asking a question from a boy sitting next to me."  I said. 

Just then an arm came around my neck as I realized it was Josh who was pretending to choke me jokingly. He laughed as he pecked my cheek and squeezed in to sit between Sam and I. I forgot about Quade's cruel punishment when Josh said." Look who finally showed up." 

I had just met Josh at the start of the year, we've been dating for almost two and a half months. In most eyes we were known as the "perfect couple," even some teachers wouldn't fail to comment.

"There's a party at my house tonight, parents out of town and no supervision," Sam said excited, "everyone's coming." Everyone except me, I thought. "Your coming, right?" Sam asked.

"I can't, I have to finish a report and hand it in  tomorrow," I said, "and I'm probably grounded since Quade called my Mom, but I'll try to sneak out." I looked at her with bored eyes.

"OK, as long as your coming." Just then bell rang for class.

I Jumped on top of my bed totally soaked from the rain, and lay on my back closing my eyes shut, today....was a slow day.

I suddenly sat up remembering if mom came home mad I'd be screwed. I quickly changed into my comfortable sweats and headed down stairs.

"Mom, are you home?" I asked searching the house.

"I just received a call from your history teacher, Danielle Summers what have you done this time to the poor man?" She scolded.
