        It's just a normal day, I thought as I hear my alarm go off. School, work, homework, sleep. I roll over, clicking the snooze button on top of my digital alarm clock. I peel the covers off of my body, pressing my feet upon the cold hardwood floor. I shiver quickly as I head towards my bathroom. As I turn on the bathroom light, I glance at my slender and plain figure. There's nothing special about the way I look. There's nothing eye-catching. Maybe high cheekbones or bright blue eyes will help create a better image, but I'm just me.

       Raine Walker.

       I glance up at the sky. Thick, dark clouds filled the sky with a depressing storm overhead. A loud rumble of thunder rolled across the air, sending chills down my spine. Today is one of those days. Steady paced raindrops fell from the sky, leaving me disappointed. 

        "Great. I guess I'm walking to school in the rain," I sigh under my breath, knowing that I can't ask my mom for a ride to school because she's already gone for work. I have no type of transportation. Just the sidewalk.

         I feel the rain soak my long strands of brunette hair. I pull the hood of my jacket over my head, to protect my hair from the rain. A bright bolt of lightning flared overhead, making me cringe. Of course, thunder followed. I could smell the scent of a newly fallen rain being casted over the city. Apart of me knew that it would be a gloomy and dark day. And by the steady pace of the rain, I knew it wasn't going to subside anytime soon.

       I want to disappear. I've been suck in crappy situations like this before. Too many times, actually. So I'm not completely disappointed. I'm more upset that it always has to be me. Why me? Why Raine Walker?
