Chapter 1
I really want to say "Once upon a time", or "It's just a normal day here in...", but sadly it's never going to happen. Here in Wright County there will never be a normal day.
My name is Amy Booth, I'm 16 years old and my parents are private investigators. They were out on a job for our neighbor's cousin Mrs. Brennan about 5 hours away from here. Naturally, they weren't home, so I decided to walk to school with my best friend Hannah Tempe.
~~~~~~~~~~
I stepped outside my house to start my walk to school, and Penguin (Hannah's favorite nickname) came trotting up the driveway. "O.MY.GERSH DID YOU SEE LAST NIGHTS EPISODE OF GLEE?!?!", she asked very excitedly. I replied feigning annoyance, "You know I don't watch those kind of television shows. They sing too much." The look on her face was one I'm used to.
As I listened to her monologue about the ENTIRE episode we had just walked past Alaska Addy's house (One of my many best friends) just as she was leaving to walk to school with us. Penguin asked the same exact question she asked me, Alaska replied enthusiastically, "OMG YES! IT WAS AMAZING!" Some days I don't know how I can be friends with these people.
I was fixing to explode on these monologuers until we came walked up Elana Cloud's house (Another one of my many best friends) as she was walking down her drive way towards us. I practically squealed with delight. "FINALLY SOMEBODY I CAN TALK TO! You don't know how much I fluffing love you right now." "Well good morning to you too.", she replied while giggling like a schoolgirl.
Just when we thought it was just going to be us four best friends walking to school we forgot about one thing; Kyle Johnson.
Hannah was MADLY in love with this dude. Honestly, Alaska, Elana and I find it adorable. When Hannah saw him she blushed, looked down quickly and stopped talking all together. When she did that we all started to tease her just for fun. We don't hurt her feelings though, or so we think.
"Hey Amy; girls.", he said as he smiled sweetly at me. I just rolled my eyes and continued to talk to Elana. He fluffing loves me man, but I wouldn't do that to my Penguin. Never. Plus, he gives me that creepy vibe, and to me he has Crazy Eyes. That just don't roll with me. I'll talk to him but nothing further than that.
The rest of the way to school Elana and I talked mono-a-mono and Alaska tried to get Hannah to talk, but she just wouldn't with Kyle within earshot. So, Alaska just gave up and joined Elana and my conversation until we reached the schoolyard.
