Kidnapped

Kidnapped-Chapter 1

Chapter 1

It was the last day of school. Last period, to be exact. My teacher, Mrs Davis, was rambling on and on about how to make good use of summer break and all that jazz while students all turned a deaf ear. Everyone was  staring at the clock, their eyes following the second-hand.

Tick.Tock.Tick.Tock.

I tapped my feet every time the second-hand moved, sighing impatiently while waiting for school to end. I was about to doze off and wait for the time that I thought will never come when-

"Ring!" the school bell rang incessantly,signaling the end of hell, *cough* I mean school. At that moment, it felt as if everything was happening in slow motion. All hell had broken loose. Everyone shoved their books and worksheets in their bags and rushed out of the classroom, some even throwing books on the floor. Some students even stood on tables and chairs and started singing "What time is it?" from High School Musical. "Yippee!"I yelled as I raised both my hands in the air. Goodbye school, hello summer. That means more time for me  to practice for gymnastics...

woah woah woah, hold on. I haven't even introduced myself to you. Geez, silly me. xD Well, here we go.

My name is Nicole Rose Johnson and I am currently 15 years old. Let's just say that after watching all those gymnasts do amazing tricks and stunts on the television during the London 2012 Olympics,I got really motivated  and even wanted to learn gymnastics. Since my parents didn't really have much education, the salary they were earning now were barely enough to pay for the taxes and bills. Thus, they could not afford for me to go to gymnastics classes ,but instead, I decided to watch Youtube videos and tried teaching myself Gymnastics.After learning for a few weeks, all I could do was a forward roll,a backward roll and a cartwheel.

I was thinking about the tricks I could learn over the summer break when an oh-too-familiar voice interrupted my train of thoughts.

"Oi! Can u please stay away ,you are blocking our damn way! GAWD."  I was so deep into my train of thoughts that I didn't realize I stopped walking. As I turned around to face the witch, my heart missed a beat. Even though I've encountered her so many times, I was still scared with what she could do. With her long blonde wavy hair, her sparkly green eyes and other perfect face features, she was your high school queen bee. Alison. Guys wanted to date her, and girls wanted to be her. To everyone in school, she was defined as perfect and flawless. But truth is, her personality was beyond horrendous. She always hangs out with her little posse, which consists of Taylor and Kella.

Before I could do or say anything to Alison,she shoved me roughly, making me unable to balance myself. And then I fell. Since I had dance class in school earlier, I was wearing a skirt. And yes,when I fell ,everyone saw my underwear. And by everyone, I mean the flood of students trying to get out of the school. They all averted their attention to me, and they started laughing. Wolf whistles were heard as I quickly got up and pushed past the students. Their laughter echoed in my ears as I ran as fast my legs could carry me .Tears were threatening to fall down my face. Words can't describe how much I hated Alison.

I was known as a 'nerd' in school just because of my good grades.I mean, that's like the most stupidest thing that I have heard. Does that mean that the popular kids always have bad grades?

Before I could even escape this hellhole, someone pulled me back. It was Beth, my one and only best friend in this school. "Are u okay?" She asked me worriedly. Beth has been my best friend for 5 years. I told her everything that happened earlier with Alison and she comforted and hugged me, rubbing my back as I sobbed into her shoulder, tears staining her clothes as a result. Soon, I had already calmed down as we both talked on the way home, I felt so much better, as if the whole incident didn't happen at all.

When we reached Beth's house,
Beth asked me, "Nic,wanna hang out tomorrow?"

"Sure,"I grinned, replying without hesitation.

"Library at 1?" Beth asked, and I nodded my head in approval.

Afterwards, we bid farewell to each other as we headed to our separate ways.

The next day came by as quick as a flash.

It was 10.00am and I was at home practicing gymnastics. The clock ticked as seconds passed by. My heart pounded in excitement as I thought about the fun things Beth and I could do later in the day.

After what felt like an eternity, it was finally 12.30pm. I packed my bag and was ready to leave the house.

"Mum,I'm leaving!", I informed my mum as I opened the door.

"Sure,sweetheart,have a fun day!"my mom told me with a bright smile on her face.

"Sure thing,mom!"I replied,before closing the door and headed towards the direction of the bus stop.

There were two ways to reach the bus stop. Since I left the house a little late, I would be late if I walked the normal route. Hence, I  decided to walk the shortcut as I did not want Beth to wait a long time for me to arrive.

I then took a left and walked through the narrow pathway which will lead me to the bus stop. Even though it was daytime, the pathway was somewhat dim and quite a little eerie, to being honest. But on the other hand, it wasn't my first time walking this route."It will totally be fine," I assured myself as I plugged in my earphones to my MP3, listening to "Summer Forever" by Megan Nicole .

As I was walking halfway through the path, the hairs on my neck suddenly stood up. Something was wrong. Something bad. I halted in my tracks and my heard felt like it had stopped beating. I had no idea why but I could sense someone...watching me?

I took off my earphones and looked around me. No one. I shrugged my shoulders. I was probably just paranoid. I shook my head and put my earphones back on and hummed to the tune of the song.

I walked another two more steps and before I could take another step,someone grabbed me vigorously by the shoulders and placed a cloth on my nose and mouth. I tried struggling but I breathed in the chemicals. I felt my eyelids dropping. The vision around me blurred and I passed out.
