Hello again. This is Rydina Black speaking. This is my story that I took down to rewrite, so here's the new version, enjoy.
Define Normal
Prologue: The Crash
By: Rydina Black
Normal is not something to aspire to; it's something to get away from.
-Jodie Foster.

Ring. Ring. Ring.
"What?" I asked groggily, having just been woken up from a nice nap.
"Roxas, it's Nami. My brother and I are going to the movies and I want you to be there," My best friend, Naminé, responded. Normally, she was quiet and reserved, but she was always, well, different around me.
"Fine, fine, what are we seeing and when does it start?"
"We're seeing Iron Man 2, and it starts in about fifteen minutes,"
"Wait, fifteen minutes! I can't make it to the theater that fast!"
"Well, speed, do anything to get here as soon as possible."
"Well, I'll be there as soon as possible. See you soon."
"See ya," With that, I hopped off the couch, grabbed my cell phone and keys, and raced out to the garage, starting up my classic, turquoise '65 Ford Mustang that I got for my seventeenth birthday. Anyway, I sped out of the driveway, down the street, and off to the highway. Little did I know at the time, but I would never see my house ever again.
It was a short drive to the theater downtown, but as soon as I set out, it began to pour down rain, making the road slick and slippery as ice. The rain reduced visibility to almost zero. All I could see was the head and taillights of the other cars. The air was full of the sound of horns blaring and honking, tires screeching, plus thunder and lightning. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a strange pair of lights speeding towards me. A single semi-truck horn stood out from the rest of the noise. Everything slowed down. A semi truck was speeding towards me. The car refused to stop, skidding on the slippery ice. The semi slammed right into the side of my Mustang, sending it flipping over and over and over, off the edge of the bridge. I was thrown from the car. Before it could even register in my mind what had happened, I was in the water of the rushing Hearts River, sinking. The water rushed into my lungs as I involuntarily gasped for air. A burning pain filled my chest I struggled for air. But it was like I was wearing iron boots. I couldn't get out. I just kept on sinking. Then as the pain in my chest subsided, my vision went black.
Ohh. It's a cliffy. Yes, I know it is short, but it IS just the prologue. The actual first chapter will be much longer. Review and you get a brownie, because cookies are so overrated and cake is too much work. Remember, authors run on reviews and the three rules of my reviews; Long reviews equal long responses, I will respond to ALL reviews, and don't be scared to offer advice (But don't be blatantly mean). Thank you for reading and I will update very soon.
