I pedal casually down the road, not bothering to make any gestures to the people around me. I live in Oak Park Michigan, a small town about 11 miles from Detroit. It's a small town, not many people in the area I live in, but that was a good thing.
Let me tell you some things about me. My name is Rachel Monroe, I'm 17, I have dark brown hair and light blue eyes. I've always been a loner, never willing to go by what society has told others to look like, that just wasn't me. My parents died when I was 14, so me and my sister thornly have had a lot of families. The Monroe's are the newest family, and frankly, not my favorite right now. Kathy, or Kathrine, has a major drinking problem, and Jack is simply Bi-polar, and always agrees with Kathy, no matter what.
My hands grip the front brakes lightly as I draw nearer to the junk-yard, slowly passing the sign that says: 'Welcome To Oak Park!' I stick out my tongue at the sign, grinding to a halt a few feet away from the front gate, smiling as I see the pale blond girl leaning up against the cold wired metal of the fence. She looks up from her phone and smiles at me, standing up straight once again.
I walk my bike up and lean it next to the gate, fixing my hair as I walk to her side.
Callie chuckles and rolls her eyes, walking towards a hole in the fence just big enough for us to crawl through. "aww, c'mon, I didn't wake you up THAT early!" She leans over and grips the corner of the tattered fence, pulling it up and motioning me to go under.
I gladly crawl through, standing on the other side and grabbing the corner, letting her go through as well. "you know i'm not a morning person!" I snicker, dusting off my knees with my hoodie sleeves. She does the same, standing up straight again and lightly shoving my shoulder. I stumble and smile, pushing her back just as gently.
She rolls her eyes and walks over to a large pile of scrap metal, looking it up and down for a moment before walking off again. I roll my eyes and follow her, still smiling at our child-like stupidity. I look at another large pile of metal, which looked to be piled at least 3 stories high. I sigh and shake my head, nothing useful that I could see.
I walk off to another pile, this one smaller then the last, and walk around it. Suddenly I'm blinded my something shining in the new morning sun, and I cover my eyes and move off to the side. Once I knew I was clear of the blinding light, I looked around for the cause.
A gasp rips from my lips at what I saw, my eyes widening in pure happiness as I call for Callie.
"Callie! you'll never believe what I found!!" I screamed, a large smile spread across my face. She quickly ran up to my side, her eyes wide with shock as she saw what I saw.
