This is me. My name is Karla and I am in the 9th grade, so I am 15. I don't have many friends. Popular is not the word to describe me. More like a weirdo, a nerd who likes spending time alone. People often tell me that I am beautiful and shouldn't be so insecure but I have got another opinion about myself. I don't have a boyfriend and I'm not willing to... I may seem asexual, but I don't care. I was living with my mother and my 11 year old brother called Tom when everything changed..
I looked at the time on my phone and groaned rejecting the call. After only half a minute it started ringing again.
"Hello?"
"Hello. Are you Karla Keller?"
"Y-yes. Who is this?"
"My name is Dr. Mahone and I called to announce you that your mother, Michelle Keller had a car accident and she is in coma."
I laughed until the realization hit me. It was all my fault.
"I'm on my way to-"
"Hospital Saint Mary"
"OK. Thank you"
I carefully but in a hurry got to the bathroom and washed myself to not wake up Tommy.
After 2 years...
Karla's mother got well from the accident but died because of a strike a year ago. Now Karla and Tommy moved to their aunt and uncle , Ms. and Mr. Hudson in theirmansion in Miami, so they changed schools as well. Now it was a day before the first day of school.

4:10 pm
I spent all day in my bed listening to music and watching Netflix so I had to do something. Explore. I got up and headed downstairs to the backyard. When I got there, the sky suddenly darkened and the sun became red. When I unlocked my phone the last thing I saw before it went black was the time. It was 4:20 pm.
A boy who seemed my age got closer to me. He was charming. Too charming.

"Hello!" ,exclaimed the boy a bit too excited.
"Hi.. I don't want to sound rude but how did you manage coming here?"
"Oh, I come here every day... Where are my manners? My name is Jasper. How about you? , he stated, wrapping me into a tight hug. Surprised, I hugged him back.
Blushing, I broke the silence.
"My name is Karla, I'm 17 and I live here.. How old are you?"
"Um..." ,he blacked out.
"So?"
"Oh yeah.. I'm 17 as well"
"That's great. How come I've never seen you until now?"
"Not many people do.."
I suddenly felt cold wind and when I turned around the house has disappeared. A cold hand grabbed mine and I screamed loudly.
. . . .
I woke up in my bed. Everything was a dream. The boy. The horryfing creature. The dream seemed too realistic and my heart beating was too fast so I decided to get my phone.
It was 4:20 am. Something seemed odd so I got up from my bed when I heard a constant poking in my window. He was there. The boy. Jasper stood there smirking devilish in the rain looking at me through the window.
I didn't know what to think anymore. I couldn't sleep so I stood on my phone until 7 am when I got up from my bed and got ready for my first day at school.
When I got through the school doors I realised that this was literally the school of my childhood nightmares. The bathroom stalls. The lockers. Everything.
I got to my classroom and waited for the other students to show up while I got to my place. He sat next to me. Jasper was here.
The class began and we started talking when the teacher interrupted us, Jasper explaining me that he saw some kids ditching classes.
"Karla who are you talking to?"
"I'm sorry.. I won't interrupt the class again. Jasper, tell him."
Jasper stood there silent.
"W-who is Jasper?" ,the teacher answered shocked.
When I turned back to look at Jasper he wasn't there anymore. He was gone.
So this is the first chapter of my book. Hope you like it and I want to know if you want me to focus more on the life at the mansion or at her life at school. What do you think about Jasper? ;)
