Hey guys,

I couldn't think of what to right next for Explosions and this came into my head so I decided to give it a try.

For those who have read Explosions and like it I am not stopping, I just need to regain inspiration for it. Please PM with any suggestions!

Amway the ages of some people are a bit changed so it would fit in with my plans, sorry if it's a little confusing!

Sadly I do not own the characters, unless you count my dreams!

~PROLOGUE~

The sound of roaring engines filled the night sky of Idris, causing all residents minds to be clouded with fear. It was only yesterday that life was as usual. My brother and I went to school along with my best friend Maia who lived next door to us.

We all went to Idris High, which consisted of both primary and secondary school. One of the only two schools in the town, the other of course was Idris prep. The school where all the rich families send their children to be educated.

I would like to say I didn't envy them, but I'm not much of a liar. Their school grounds were over double the size ours was and they only educated at a secondary level. They also had longer holidays then us, and had trips to the beach during the term. The best place we went to was the park down the street. They also had all the cute guys! Like how is that fair?

All in all they had complete bragging rights, and trust me they didn't waste them.

Maia and I sometimes hid and watched the students that go there before school, well we watched one particular student.

Jace Lightwood.

He was the 'it' guy at Idris prep, with is golden hair, sharp angular jaw line and gold eyes that sparkled when he smiled. He also had the honour of having Kailie as his girlfriend. Let's just say she took bitch to a new level.

I had had a crush on him for what seemed like forever but he left Idris High as soon as he could. Now in year 10 I still wished that I had talked to him before he left, there's no way I can now.

Maia and I weren't what you would call popular. We were on the school soccer team so all our friends were guys. But they were like brothers to us and heaps of fun to hang out with.

All the girls at our school thought we were freaks playing sport like the guys though we didn't care. It's amazing how even in our school you could find snobs that thought they were better than the rest of us, the ones you could see wished they could hang out with the rich kids. They never would though.

We did well at school but were always getting in trouble for my lack of being able to whisper, that was until we realised passing notes was a safer option. From then on we only rarely got caught.

My mom and dad both worked at the animal shelter. They took it over when they realised the previous owner was killing the animals after just 1 week of being there, they didn't have the heart to let that continue so they left their jobs and took it over. Now the animals stay until they are given back to their owners or given away.

I helped out after school and on the weekend, joined by Maia most days. Jon, my brother, was too young to really help so he just played with the animals while we fed and cleaned up after them, it seemed to all work well.

It's amazing how in just 1 day, everything can change.
