The Eleven – Chapter 1

"Look, Dad, maybe I don't want to go to college. Maybe I want to join the army."

"Don't be silly. Every man in the Manaka family has gone to college and you will be no different. You're going to finish up your last year of high school with good grades and you're going to college, and you're going to-"

"Whoa, Dad look out!"

*Bump Bump SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!*

I'm Nara Manaka. I'm Seventeen years old, and I'm a senior at John Adams high school. I have short blonde hair, blue eyes, 6'0''and I yea I would say I'm pretty good looking. My GPA is almost 2.0; my favorite food is potatoes, I like girls in skirts, etc. I honestly don't think I'm better than everyone else. I know that I am. In my mind people are only good for two things. One: Messing my life up. Two: Making babies who will eventually grow into adults and mess my life up.

*Boom!*

My dad was driving me to my mom's place, and he hit the warning bumps on the side of the road that are usually used to wake up sleeping drivers. And my dad was smart enough to hit them while he was awake.

"Way to go Dad! We've got a flat tire!" I looked out the window. "I think it's the front right tire on my side….Dad?" I turned to see why my dad wasn't talking, and he wasn't there. The two cars in front of us jerked to the left, hit the railing on the side of the road, and burst into flames. I grabbed the wheel of the car so we wouldn't do the same. My dad was still gone, and I was beginning to panic. He was gone, but the car door was still locked and the seat belt was still fastened, but nobody was there. I put my foot on the break, and began to slow down. BAM! I didn't see an SUV coming from behind me, and it hit my dad's car hard. The air bag deployed and smacked right into my head. I could hear glass breaking all around me as the cars skidded down the road.

I head countless crashes for what seemed like hours and I was scared to move. Then everything stopped. It was quiet. I stumbled out of the wreckage, and looked around. Every single car, as far as I could see, had crashed. Some ran off the road and hit trees, some crashed into each other, and some did both. I searched what remained of the car, but I couldn't find any trace of my dad. I didn't know exactly what to do at that moment. I was really confused so I just walked up the road to see if I could find anything out. I knew I was going to see dead bodies, but I just didn't care. I wanted to know what happened. What I saw, or didn't see, shocked me even more than the most mangled of bodies. What I knew, or thought I knew changed forever during that woozy little stroll down the road. What I saw, was nothing. There was nobody left alive…or dead. All the cars were empty. There were no bodies, no clothes, there wasn't even any blood. Everybody around me was gone.

And I was alone.
