Biorhythm

Chapter 1

        

      It was a foggy afternoon in Castle lakes. The car windshields were clouded, permitting drivers to only be able to see a few feet in front of them. This was very dangerous, especially for new drivers like Faith. Faith Carter is a sixteen year old girl that was afraid to start driving. She had always been a cautious girl, for no good reason really. Slow down, slow down. Stop. wait. It's green go again. Go slow but not too slow. No you're going too fast. Oh! Stop sign.

Faith was not like most girls her age. She kept herself in check. No parties, no drugs, no alcohol, and definitely no boys! Straight A's, ironed clothes, be on time, eat all the healthy foods. No meat obviously. She found it pretty hard to make friends, although she often got
stares because she was extremely attractive. Slender face, light skin, amber eyes, and silky brown locks of hair. She was fairly tall as well. Faith wishes she was unattractive though. Sometimes she feels people think she must be dense due to her looks. She despises that very much. She likes to prove her worth. Which is why on her second day being sixteen, Faith is driving on her lonesome.

First day of school. Junior...i'm a Junior now. I'm bound to make a friend right?

Maybe I could be a Cheerleader. No that's ridiculous. Is it? i' ll have to think about that later. Oh goodness I almost hit a dog. Poor thing. Oh look. I'm here. Castle High...home of the knights. I'm glad that i've gotten here early. Pretty much any parking space to choose from. I'll take the one farthest from the entrance. Yes, that will do just fine. A good walk will clear my mind.

Faith gets out of the car, dusting herself off. "A foggy day is perfect when you're not driving," she says to herself. She lifts her book bag over her shoulder and continues on to the school entrance. From where Faith was parked, an average student could take up to six minutes

walking to school. Faith did this in three minutes, which she took a small amount of pride in. After walking up the stairs, she stopped under the threshold, breathing in. You can do this. She walked down the hall and towards the library. When she arrived, a tall, thin kid looked up at her, blocking the library door. His face looked washed out. A gray beanie covered most of his messy reddish- brown hair. He covered himself in a large sweatshirt, which was perfectly normal for cold days like this one. But he smelled.

"Um , excuse me," she whispers heedfully.

The man-boy sticks his hand in his pocket.

"How much you want?"

Faith raises her eyebrow. Oh, he thinks I came here for drugs.

"Oh no thank you. I'm trying to enter the library. So if you could um..."

He scoots to the left, losing eye contact with Faith immediately.

As she walks past him, she looks up at him and then back down again.

The library made Faith comfortable. She could walk around in peace. No one trying to talk about weekend plans or about who got the newest phone or even whom was planning on fighting whom. They never fought anyhow. No, the library was just a place where you could think to yourself. Faith felt thinking out loud was pointless. No one cares about others thoughts, only their own. She thought about how everyone is supposed to be unique and different, but instead ends up the same. She thought about why someone would take the nearest parking spot instead of getting some exercise. She thought about why kids with possible bright futures put down their pencils and pick up a cigarette lighter. All of these thoughts, in her mind, all came to the same conclusion. Because it's easier. Oh the bell rang! Period one; advanced mathematics...My favorite.
