The Ring in the Coffin
Chapter One
Annie's POV
I welcomed the crisp autumn D.C. air. I let it surround me, breathing it all in as if it was mine to own forever. It was great to be back. I wonder if anyone still remembered me. I turned around, grabbed my bag, said goodbye to my mom, and shut the car door. My brother Matt was already inside the huge building as if we were never gone. I watched as teenagers slowly trudge in through the mighty, imitating doors. As I took a long awaited step forward, I heard someone call my name. "Adrianne? Annie?" An all too familiar voice called out. Magdalen. Briskly, I turned around to face my once best friend. Unfortunately, over the year I was gone we just lost touch. She quickly grabbed me in a tight hug. "Oh my goodness, Annie! I haven't seen you in forever!" She babled.
"I know, I'm sorry we lost touch, Maggie." I replied. She was truly my only friend for the ten year I had lived here. I moved to Washington D.C. when I was five and we had been friends every since then. Besides that brief inturlude, where I moved away for a year. I looked behind her and there stood a face I remembered so well. "Jasper! How are you?" I yelled running over to him to give him a hug.
"Good and you?" He asked returning the hug. Jasper and I went way back. I was the reason Maggie and him were friends, well sort of friends. I stepped out of the hug. It was good to see them both again. It was just like old times. I started laughing as I reminisced all the fun we had together. Jasper and Maggie stare at me strangly. I was about to tell them why when a tall, handsome, muscular, blonde boy came over to us.
"Who is that?" I whispered into Maggie's ear.
"Oh, him? That's Henry." She replied.
"Newbie? Introduce, introduce!" I yelped.
"Yeah, okay sure."
"Hey, Jasper!" Henry yelled. Oh, good so he knows Jasper! Henry was now in front of us. I suppressed an awkward giggle that always seemed to find me when I liked a boy. I brushed my auburn hair out of my eyes. And studied him with my sea-green eyes.
"Henry, this is my friend Adrianne." Maggie finally said.
"Hi, please call me Annie!" I said, holding out my hand. He grasped it and shook it firmly, smiling. His smile made me melt. "You're new here, I take it."
"Yeah, just moved here."
"From where?"
"No where." He stated firmly. Just before I was going to say, 'What,' Jasper explained.
"Henry traveled around the world with his parents."
"Oh, that sounds exciting!"
"Yeah, Henry tell her about your time in Brazil." Maggie suggested. I mouthed 'thank you' to her. She nodded her head as if saying your welcome. I am so glad to be back!
