The Dangers of the Pen

Chapter 3

A week later, I got home, and told my parents yet again about Kimberly's wrath. Of course they cared for me and Ben, and of course they hated everything Kimberly did to me. They want to stand up for me, they have tried complaining to the school before, the school, like my parents, and everyone else's parents, are scared of whatever monsters could have produced the mini she-devil. So of course my parents didn't do anything.

The weekend, a band, but also the best time of the week, no school, no homework, no people. No people, that's the best thing, no kimberly wanting to mess up my face, no awkward run ins with luca, no more hour long gossip lectures from Helena. Just me, myself and I, (love that song!) I am in best company with no one other than me, my lucky pen and notebook.

I understand, every nook and cranny, no one knows me better than myself, in fact. No one in this universe knows, gets, understands me. Even though I learned to cope with this issue of mine, I can't help but feeling left out, and sometimes even like a waste of space, like... Kimberly told me.

Ok, no, stop thinking about Kimberly, it's the weekends, only 2 days a week, I need to enjoy myself and have at least a bit of fun.

I'll continue writing my book, ok where was I? Oh yeah, Annabeth is at Julian's house because she needs to get back to her world that she belongs to.

"Julian, are you sure your accelerator will work, I mean it looks... dangerous" I say.

"Annabeth, I hope that you understand that never in my life would I put you through so much trouble and danger if the accelerator didn't work" answers Julian.

I trust Julian with all my heart, but his invention just looks so horrifying! I do not wish to offend him by saying this, so I simply watch. In terror, at my ride back home. Suddenly, the walls start to shake, all the books on the shelves fall to the ground crashing around us, then water, gallons of water starts to pour in through the windows, as if we're trapped in a sinking car. Then, out of nowhere, he surges forward, He...

"Anna, hey you ready?" asks Ben. Ok, why does this always happen when i'm about to hit the climax??? Someone, or something (depends on where I am) always interrupts me in the middle of my writing! "Yeah, wait, why am I supposed to be ready, uh, for what?" I ask.

"Anna, you have to come to the game today, remember? You're in the school band, so get your flute, get dressed and let's go, the senior tchoukball team needs your support." replies Ben and leaves my room. Oh shoot, I forgot, today is the national tchoukball tournament, in MY school. Urgh, why at our school, why today, why on the weekends when I can finally have some time to myself???

Ah well, my band is gonna be there and that means so do I, and band isn't that bad, the music devours me and I really enjoy playing the flute and singing, music and silence, my 2 best friends of all time. Oh, just remembered, in the band I have a solo part so that means that I need to warm-up really well, to make the audience enjoy themselves. And my outfit is already picked-out too! Only, it's a dress, why? At least it's purple, right?

Whatever, just can't forget my flute, music, notebook and pen, and my phone.

^^^^^^^^^^

No, no, no! This is the national tchoukball tournament, and who's the best tchoukball player in the school, who's good at every sport? Luca! Argh! And I was happy that I wouldn't have anymore awkward run ins with Luca, well that backfired big time!

Well, at least i'll have someone to talk to, I guess. In band, I don't have many friends, to be honest, I don't have any friends in band, but we have a cheerleading group at school, and Helena is the team captain, so if she's not going to be to busy gossiping with the other cheerleaders, I guess i'll hang with her.
