∞CHAPTER 1 ∞
Hmmmm, where should I start my story. Obviously I’m going to start the day that I died (yep I died) but what moment in that day? The moment when I woke up? Too cliché. When I made my breakfast? Too boring. Alright, I guess I’ll just start when I stepped onto my bus. 8:00 am. 24th of august.
I winced as my bran new Colorado’s squished down a freshly chewed piece of gum. I let out a frustrated sigh. I could almost imagine the steam starting to burst out of my ears, but I let that thought slip away. Nothing could ruin this feeling of satisfaction I have had since yesterday afternoon. Two days would be a new record for me! I’m usually always heated up or frustrated – but not today, I’m enjoying being happy! I sat down on the closest seat because the bus driver had already started driving. Now something like that would usually mess with my temper, but I really didn’t care.
Oh, by the way, I should tell you a bit about myself, since you’ll be wanting to know who I am.
Hi, my name is Catharine. It’s a weird way to spell my name but who cares right? Most people call me cat anyway. By most people, I mean my mother, my older brother, and just about everyone at school. So everyone calls me cat. My mother actually named me Catharine because of her love for cats. And I know what you’re asking, but my mother is NOT mentally challenged. She is a bit loopy sometimes, but who can blame her?
When I was two years old, my father took me and my older brother, jay, out to the park to teach us “important survival skills”. He started off by attempting to teach us how to make a fire using friction built up from two sticks. Long story short, I was good (too good) and jay was not. We had to cut our trip short because I had burnt jay’s hand. When we got home, mum was angry and started yelling at dad. Jay took me up to his room and we played on his PlayStation. (That part was probably irrelevant) The next day, mum took jay to school and I stayed home and talked to dad. He said that he and mum have been arguing for the past couple of years and that their marriage wasn’t worth the effort. Well, you can guess how upset I got. I had one of the biggest temper tantrums anyone had ever seen.
I was only two, I couldn’t control myself.
Or my abilities.
The house went up in flames.

Fiksi RemajaMy story’s complicated. But it’s my story, so you can’t dis it. It’s a story of loss, gain, heartbreak, love, life and death. Not necessarily in that order. It may seem confusing at some times, I would know, but you’ll have to put up with it. Oh, a...
