New Life
Lila's POV
I sighed and looked at the clock. 5 More minutes till the bell rings. I really hate introductions so but I might as well try my best to explains a little about myself. My name is Lila Jennings. I'm 13 years old. I have no parents so I live in an orphanage. I don't remember them at all. I ain't being sarcastic. There isn't too much about me. I'm just a girl who doesn't really get along with others.
" Ms Jennings? Is something the matter", asked Ms Tanner. I looked up startled. I didn't noticed her standing before me.
"No why?", I asked. 'Well the bell ringed about 3 minutes ago and your still here." I looked around and sure everyone was gone. I sighed and grabbed my stuff.
I wasn't very enthusiastic about going home ( not much of a home). The rain was pouring down and it was starting to annoy me. The sound of it was mocking me. The clouds looked gray and lightning shook. You might ask why didn't I just take the bus? Well I really didn't feel like being in a bus full of smelly kids screaming at each other.
I searched for my keys and opened the door to the orphanage. "Lila!", screamed my best friend Jessica. "What took you so long? I was waiting to walk with you but I couldn't wait in the rain for so long." I blushed. This was going to be embarrassing. "Um you see, I didn't notice the bell and stayed in class."
Jess snickered and walked off. I sighed. Why couldn't I be more like her? Always so cheerful and enthusiastic about everything?
After I ate dinner I was pretty much really bored. I decided to take a walk outside to let myself forget the thoughts of today. I kept on walking but suddenly I stopped dead in my tracks. My eyes widened at what I saw. The biggest dog almost the size of a tank was standing before me. It ran towards me and I screamed. I turned around and started running. I ran as fast I could which wasn't much. I heard huge paws behind me and I tried to run faster. I turned around - big mistake- the dog thing grabbed me and pinned me to the ground. I struggled trying to break free but I couldn't move. I could barley breath so I closed my eyes waiting for the beast to eat me alive. When I opened them the thing was gone but I found myself face to face with a boy around my age.
"Who are you and what was that thing?", I asked. He looked at me and his black eyes seemed to pierce right through me.
"I'm Nico. And I don't have to answer the other question." He started to walk away but as the pushy girl I was I followed him. "Nico! You have to tell me what was that. Please. When I was younger I some things like that as well. Its been a while but you have to explain to me what it was!"
" I have things to do so will you please leave me alone", he screamed at me. I bit my lip. I hated when people yelled at me. I looked down and whispered a sorry. " You said you saw things like that before? Is it true?" I sighed. " yeah its true."
He looked around like he was thinking hard. A few minutes later he looked at me and said " meet me at the park at midnight. Bring your stuff with you". I was confused. Why should I bring my belongings? Before I had time to ask he was a few feet away. I sighed and looked at the mysterious boy walking away.
