Undaunted

Chapter 2

The tram swings from side to side making it hard to hang on to the bright yellow handles that hang from the roof. I casually pop my hip out to the side as I have done this a million times before.

"What do you want to do?" My brother Tyler asks. "What? Oh umm.... I don't know yet?" I reply realising that I have only few hours before I make my decision. "You don't know? Well you better make your mind up... Fast?" He says sliding further into his seat "for gods sake sit down, and maybe think why your at it!" He says patting the seat next to him. "No thanks I'm fine" I reply looking out the window.

Tyler is 3 years older then me and looks nothing like me! He has dark brown hair that he usually wears longer but mum wouldn't allow him to come today with it covering his eyes. Let's just say his brown hair and green eyes looks very different to my dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. " ok but it's here if you want it." He says Looking out the window applying the conversation over.

I watch as the tram passes endless ruins of houses gone by. Many of these houses were once lived in but that was a long time ago. Our school is the tallest building in the capital it practically reaches past the sky! It's a.... Creepy place it kind of looks like someone put a maroon glass stick in the earth.

Once we reach our destination life takes its usual path, I go to class, start school work, finish school work and go home. That's how it usually goes all day , every day. But today will be different, today we choose our future. And then it hits me like a baseball bat. What will happen after today? After today we have nothing left to choose, our future is basically already chosen and there is nothing we can do about it! I can't belive why I haven't had this thought before.

The tram stops at the base of the school, the tram is mostly full of students so it takes a while to get of, I let go of the handle and make my way down the aisle. As I reach the steps I feel... Woosy.. I try to keep my Balance but I fall back, I don't know who on but I hope it's Tyler! Ehhh I have a painful headache. "Yvain, are you ok?" Thank god it was Tyler I fell on. I hold my head and try to gain my balance. "Yeah,I,,Im fine" i reply shrugging of his concern. I manage to get up and of the tram. But I still don't feel any relief. "Yvain, are you sure? you don't really look like you are." Tyler asks me rubbing my back. "No I am fine." I stand up and try to ignore it. Eventually it starts to fade and I am able to walk again.

Walking through the crowded halls of our school proves a challenge today as most of us are frazzled by the choosing. Ha, choosing why would they call it something as important as choosing, like whoooo the choosing. It should be something like job application day.

As I walk someone in a black jacket hiding his, or her face bumps into me hitting me in the side. "HEY WHAT WAS THAT FOR" I yell at the masked person by her or she doesn't seem to care and ignores my words. I look down where he or she hit me, hmm must of been a guy, this will surely leave a bruise. In the corner of my eye something catches my attention. He dropped something. I pick up the paper that looks like it was left in all the elements of weather for a 100 years.  I roll the paper open, it feels although it will fall apart as soon as I unroll it.  The handwriting is cursive, written in ink. It reads
Be careful Yvain. Bad things will happen
                        L.G
What? How did that person know my name? And who is L.G? What do they mean bad things will happen? I must have been looking pretty shocked because the teacher spots me and I must not have heard the order to go to class. "'Miss everior, if you do not get to class detention will follow!" I look around awoken by the sound of the teachers voice and find that the halls were empty. I quickly run down the hall to my classroom.
