How to Love

Chapter 1

Beep...beep...beep...I heard my Alarm clock scream. Half awake I hit the off button and sit up and swing my feet over the edge. I look at the time; 6:00 A.M/ I silently make my way down the stairs and go to the kitchen to make my coffee. After pressing start I go to my bathroom and start my shower. I find the right playlist, grab a clean towel and get in the shower. I softly sing with the songs that play. I get out and dry off. I get dressed, in an thick striped t -shirt, black skinny jeans and ballet flats that are also black, and dry my hair. That's when I notice it, feel it. Something was going to happen. but I'm not sure what it is yet.

              I shake the feeling away by sticking in my ear buds. I go back down stairs and pour myself a cup of coffee. I put some sugar in and take a slow sip. I lean against the counter and stare out the window as thunder crashes and a down pour starts. I sigh knowing I'll have to walk to school in the rain since my car in in the mechanic. I close my eyes and sip my coffee  and listen to the rain. I quickly open my eyes as I feel not alone. I look around to see I'm alone. I blame the weather. Every time the weather is like this I'm always on edge, feel funny, and worst of all, the nightmare.   I tense up when I think of them. I sigh and finish my coffee. I then throw on my jacket and pull the hood over my head as I walk in the direction of the school.

             By the time I get to school my jacket is soaked through and my t shirt is a little wet too. I put my jacket in my lock er and to my first hour class. I walk in silently and take my seat. No one says a word to me. This day is already weird and I have a feeling it won't get any better. I listen as the teacher starts the Math. No sooner does she sit down after handing out the worksheet does the door fly open. We all look up to see two men in white uniforms and one in all black with a mask. "That's the girl," the leader-like one in the black says as he points the light saber at me. The rest of my class is frozen in fear as I try to process what he just said. The teacher stands and says,"I can't just allow you to take my student." The rest of my class scream and runs to the back of the room as the teacher starts making choking noises. I was the only one still at my desk. After the rest of the class was in the back of the room huddled together I shot up from my seat. "That's enough!" He stopped immediately and looked at me. I stood there bravely, surprising my classmates. To them I was the quiet nerd and geek. The only thing most of them talked to me was the hours at my parents, booming gym, business hours.

        "That was easier than I anticipated," said the man in black as a ginger haired man walked up behind the leader. "Did you get what we came for Ren," he asks as my teacher sends me a thank you look. 'Ren' gave a nod and signaled for me to follow. I followed silently causing the ginger to look back and  make sure I was still there. One our way out I saw my two friends looking at me sadly from the class room they were in. I gave them a 'good-bye, sorry, take care' look. I followed onto them onto a ship and sat the silently not saying anything or moving.  Half the ride was silently I was silently until they explained my future to me. I sat there in shock at learning I was to learn the ways of the force, be a Sith, and help them take over the galaxy. "Why? Why me? I just a nobody. I don't have any useful talents. I'm not strong. I-" I was cut off. "You have more talents and gifts than you know. You can and will become strong, I'll see to it personally," Kylo said firmly with a tiny bit of annoyance in his voice that was barely detectable from the voice changer. He waved his hand and I was unconscious immediately.
