Christina Johnson was an average person. She was the sort of girl who got average grades, and hung out with average people. Her house was in a very average part of town, and her family had average jobs. All in all, Christina had a very average life.
She walked home from school every day at the same time, and met her best friend in the park at 4:00 to go to the shops. They never had anything new, but Christina went anyway, just to get a chance to talk to Hannah. Hannah was a good friend, and always knew what to say in times of crisis. She was a shoulder to lean on, and, sometimes Christina would comfort her too. At 5:30, when the shops started to close and the owners started to shoo them from the premises, both girls would trudge home, going their separate ways once they got back to the park.
Christina liked having a schedule for things; it meant that she always knew what was happening; it made her feel in control. Hannah didn't share this view, but as any good friend should, she kept her thoughts to herself and accepted that Christina liked order. Order had become a comfort for her in a world that was constantly changing and warping around her. Some people put labels on her with narrow-minded views on them: OCD, Autistic, Control Freak. Over her years at school, Christina learnt that people said spiteful things, sometimes for no reason. She had coped with insults about being nerdy, being ginger, and even just for being a girl. She didn't care, what did they know?
One average day, Christina left her school at the average time and arrived at the park at 4:00 on the dot, as usual, only to find that Hannah wasn't there. She sighed, impatient. This would set her entire day back by at least ten minutes; she would have to sort that out somehow. As the time ticked away, Christina grew ever more impatient. She scowled; frustrated that Hannah could be so irresponsible. Doesn't she know that we're meant to be at the shops by now?! She started to pace up and down the path, annoyed. Up and down, up and down. Up and down, up and down. Past the bench, around the corner. Before she knew it, she was at the gates of the park, looking out at the traffic going by.
What was she doing?! Hannah is expecting me to be here! she thought, panicked. But she isn't here though, is she? A small voice in the back of her head, If she was coming, she would be here by now. Besides, the shops will be closed by the time you get to them now. She frowned. Where did that come from? She shook it off and continued on towards the street that led to her house, passing the local greengrocers, and the corner shop. The owner was carrying a bag of rubbish to the bins in the alleyway next to the store. She smiled at him, waving. He grinned at her and waved back with his free hand, turning back. Then a startled yelp cut through her newly found calm. She sprinted back to the alley to find the owner staring open mouthed at a shape in the dark.
"Do you know her?"
"Know who?" she asked, confused. Then she took a step forward, her eyes adjusting to the dark. The man just stared blankly at the brick wall ahead of him. Christina gasped as she realised just what had made the man react that way. A body lay in the gutter, a gash across the throat and blank eyes wide with shock. The man started and started rummaging around in his pocket.
"I'll call the police, they'll know what to do" He shakily pulled out a mobile and dialled, but Christina wasn't listening. She was still looking at the face, horrified, the face of Hannah Richardson.

Okay guys, there it is. Please review and suggest ideas for future plots and cool stuff :) I'd like to know what you think. Hopefully this will be 10k+ ( note the "hopefully" ) as I have a few ideas that I want to get going which might take a lot of setting up :p Also a shout out to theeighthhorcrux who has kindly agreed to post the link to my story on tumblr! Thank you T! If you want to check out her tumblr, its chock full of Sherlock, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Hunger Games and Avengers ships (amongst others) I would post a link to her blog but it doesn't appear to be working so sorry about that :p
