Prologue
"Look Timmie, I'm sure you're a nice guy. But I can't do this right now. I'm trying to finish high school so I can go to college next year, and I don't need any distractions." He began to open his mouth, but I continued through my explanation. "And really, I don't know you that well and you don't know me. I mean, I'm rude, blunt, I hate liars and hypocrites, despite what I used to believe, family does not come first, I won't hesitate to choose me instead of someone else, and you know Harry Potter?" He was still frowning, but nodded. "Well let me just say if I went to Howarts, I would most definitely be in Slytherin." I felt bad. And a little peeved. The first guy to show interest in me in years and I was too cowardly to deal with it. Besides, let's face it. He didn't quite make it up to my standards. Whatever excuses I made, it still didn't help with the complete anxiousness gripping my insides. I hated confrontations. Hated them. At the moment he was going on and on about he understood, but couldn't we just be friends? Right. Like I wanted to be friends with a guy who asked me out in front of my little sister, and literally just broke up with his girlfriend. And then finally, my savior came in the form of a horrid yellow bus.
"Sorry Timmie, gotta go. I need to get my education." So I don't end up jobless and mooch off my significant other like you. The bus pulled up in front of my sister and I, and we clambered on, leaving said moocher gaping like a fish.
"Hey Ms. Cecilia!"
"Good morning Ms. Theresa. You have no idea how glad I am you're here." The bus driver laughed boisterously and looked out one of the windows to where Timmie was standing, still resembling a fish.
"Oh honey, I'm sure I do." I just gave a small smile and sat in the first available seat. My sister slid in beside me and I gave her a questioning glance. Normally she sat by herself as well.
"Why did you say no?" Oh.
"Because. I really don't want to deal with guys right now. I want to finish high school, go to college, and then start my social life. I don't want any outside distractions. Besides, the guy is crazy. You know he tried to super glue whiskers on his face?" She gave a small giggle, and I returned it. I loved when she laughed. It was just so damn contagious.
I turned my head to look at the bright blue sky. Hm, no clouds today. I tended to look up or ahead when in a moving vehicle. It made me sick to watch everything flash by. But wouldn't that be something? Going to Hogwarts that is. It's not like I hadn't thought about it. Just like I hadn't not thought about taking Sarah's place in Labyrinth, or being a SHIELD member. It all came with the vivid imagination I had. With situations that is. I could hear an ambulance siren, and come up with an elaborate visual of my mother walking to the store and getting run over and the car running into the building and people screaming and so and so on. But at least I had the same perception with Hogwarts. I turned to observe my little sister. She was looking gawing across the seats to a very handsome guy about my age. Huh. Her choice I guess. I glanced around, and for once, decided to look out the window to the streets around us. And there. I could see it. My ears began to ring and I couldn't help but watch as an eighteen-wheeler raced in slow motion towards the fading yellow light and we moved forwards to the green one ahead of us. And then everything was black.
Intro Author Note: Short, I know. Cliché, I know. This fic IS probably going to have a strange sense of writing xD Just because it is told in my OC's pov, and I'm going to try and capture her attitude about everything. So sorry if the story drags on sometimes, that's just how her mind goes. I'm actually just taking this for a trial run. I figured if I went ahead and posted, maybe get some positive feedback, I would actually go through with it. xD Remember, this is just a prologue, and there should be more coming. Hopefully. So be sure to leave a review, and hopefully I'll post a new chapter soon:D
