Chapter 1
Showing Out
Bonnie's family would turn themselves in this exact day. Well, that's what they thought at least. Let's start from the exact beginning. It was the first day of tenth grade in Winderville High. The story begins and ends in a small town called Winderville which is located at the dead center of Missouri. Our character: Bonnie and her family. Another character in the story is: Max. Anyway, this town was small, and it's a city where practically nothing happens. Someone's birthday-well, it's like a huge parade. The town is only one main street and about forty five small streets intersecting each other. The town has a small shopping mall, a grocery store, a liquor store, some pubs and restaurants, two schools and a small library.
Bonnie is a girl of a certain age that we won't go into now. She looks like she's fifteen just like all the other tenth graders. Bonnie's skin is a pale white color. She has black and brown highlights. Most students that go to Winderville High don't pay attention to her except her siblings, as if they were going about their business. You see, Bonnie Cumberfield and her eight other siblings are all on their own, separate from the others. We will learn why later on through the story. Nobody notices her and she doesn't care. Anyway, she doesn't mind school, as long as it keeps her busy. She been to school hundreds of times, and it still keeps her busy.
The Cumberfield family consists of nine adopted kids, all through the age of thirteen to twenty. Well, that's what they pretend. The reader will understand why later, throughout the story. The mother and father are of a young-looking age, but the real ages are only known by the children of the family. We shall keep it secret for now. They live in a big pale lavender house called: "The Cumberfield House." This house is three or flours high-we don't know how many floors because nobody really talks about the huge looking house, with about ten to eleven bedrooms, a big kitchen, a dining room and a play room on each floor. It was built by the family with the help of some professional builders.
Anyway, it was the first day of tenth grade for Bonnie. Everybody now with backpacks, stepping out of cars to the school campus. Heading toward the theater for the freshman introduction, she saw a new boy the same age. He probably was the same height as her. He had brown hair, blue eyes, and looked kind of handsome.
"Stop it, Bonnie." She said to herself. "It's not the time." She continued.
She entered the school and went toward the theater. The halls were practically bare. It would be soon full of students opening and slamming lockers. She saw her brother, sister, brother, and sister as she was passing by. She entered the theater which was full by now. The principal of the school, Mr. Sockalini was talking about the rules about high school and the student life. She noticed that her part would be next.
