Alice

Chapter One: Down the Rabbit Hole

Chapter 1:

"Alice!"my mother screeched from downstairs.

"Yes mother dearest?" I sarcastically yelled back.

"We are leaving in five minutes!" She screeched again. That woman was loud.

"Are we going to see Henry?" I ask , yelling of course.

"Yes. Now come on!" I groan and roll off of my bed.

My mom thinks that dating her boss's son will get her a promotion. Let's just say Henry isn't very attractive in any way. At all. That's putting it nicely in my opinion.

I stomp down the stairs dragging my feet.

"Can you wear something more presentable?" My mother groans in disgust at my outfit.

I am wearing ripped up jeans and a black tee shirt and my beat up converse.

"I am not changing." I say stomping my foot on the ground for emphasis.

"At least take off some of that eye makeup!" My mother says trying to wipe some of my eyeliner off. I move my head away.

I walk out to the car before she can take off any more of my makeup. I learned a long time ago not to argue these "dates".

It will end up with me being grounded. It always does.

I put in my earbuds and let the rest of the world fade out.

It's not a far drive so we get thee in about 20 minutes. I groan and roll my eyes as I see Henry standing there waiting for me in his perfectly trimmed front yard. He stands anxiously as if he's always ready to dart at the slightest sign of trouble.

He is short, has a long face and a pointy nose that looks like a witch's nose. He has braces and is really really ugly. There is no other way to put it. I don't want to be mean but its true.

I give my mom a 'I don't want to be here' look and she just says,

"Be nice." with that she gets out of the car and goes up to greet her boss. After exchanging greetings, they go inside and leave me with HIM.

"Hi Alice!" he says enthusiastically as I step out I the car.

"Hi Henry." I say through gritted teeth,faking a smile. The only reason I put up with this is because mother always buys me something afterwords. Last time I got a new longboard. She really wants that promotion. It's been months still but she still works in the same position.

"Any day now." She'll say to me evry so often. We have been waiting for 6 months and I have gone on eleven dates so far. I don't know how much longer I can deal with Henry.

"So what do you want to do?" he asked me.

"Listen to my music at home in my bed alone." I say. He looks kinda hurt at my comment. I feel bad. Ugh, why do I have to be so compassionate? Can't my emotions just die or something?

"But hanging here with you is fine too." I say through gritted teeth.

"Cool. I have and idea. I found this really cool rabbit hole. You wanna look?" He says. Now that's a weird request. Even for him.

"Umm ok I guess." I say cautiously. I'm not afraid of him hurting me, I'm afraid that he'll hurt himself if he attempts to hurt me. I may not be strong but I could break that 70 pound kid if I wanted to. He's 15 but he looks like he's twelve.

He leads me behind the house and into the woods behind his house. We walk for five minutes, and I'm about to turn back when he stops in his tracks. I nearly trip over him. There in front of him is a rabbit hole

"Wait, so you seriously took me out here to see a rabbit hole?" I ask.

"I said I would." He says confused.

I had assumed he wanted to try and kiss me or get TRY to second base. I don't know, he's a really weird kid.

He's the kid that you try to be nice to but he always just makes a fool of himself without any help. There is always at least one person like that in evry society.

"Well take a look if you want." He says gesturing the rabbit hole. I nod, still confused. What is it with this kid and rabbit holes?

I leaned down towards the rabbit hole. I can't see anything. Not even a trace of rabbits living there.

"What's so special about this?" I ask looking up at Henry. He smiles at me devilishly and before I can get up he pushes me down the rabbit hole. That small kid pushed me, and instead of hitting the ground I keep falling and falling.

"Red queen prevails!" Henry yelled from above. His voice was faint as I fell farther and farther down into the rabbit hole.

What the Hell just happened here?

Sorry this chapter was short, it was a filler to get to the next part of the story. Does this seem familiar, anything like a fairytale you might know? Well this is nothing like the animated cartoon I can assure you.
