Note: This is a story that I wrote over a year ago and never finished, however I will consider continuing it if it is well received.
Chapter 1- The Last Day of Life as I Knew It
It was the last day of life as I knew it, and I was sitting at my desk awaiting a terrifying math test. Had I known that it was the last day of life as I knew it, I probably would have stayed home or gone out and done something memorable, but no, I was sitting at my desk, twiddling my thumbs.
My scrawny old math teacher started handing out tests. When he passed me, a strong icy breeze blew past, scattering the papers across the room. Kids hopped out of their seats, grabbing at papers and talking frantically. I got up and closed the door, trying to avert attention away from myself. It was unlikely that anyone suspected that I had anything to do with it, but I wanted to take precautions.
It was fall, and icy breezes weren't all that common where I lived. Things like that, things like random snowflakes and cold breezes, just seemed to follow me. I didn't know why, and I didn't question it, some things are just better left alone.
The rest of the day proceeded in an excruciatingly ordinary manner: I took the math test, I ate lunch alone, I suffered through biology and history, and I walked home, a cool breeze following me the whole time. When I opened the door to my house, I was greeted by unbearably fake smiles and the smell of pot roast. My foster mother asked me how school was today, and I replied with my usual grunt.
My foster parents were good people, but they didn't understand me and I didn't understand them. Sometimes I wished with all my might that I could be like them, normal, pleasant, happy, but sometimes I wished that I could just run away from it all. Above all, I just wished that someone, anyone, understood me. Suffice to say, I'd never really fit in, anywhere.
So I got in my pajamas that night, and hopped into bed, drifting off to sleep so that I could face yet another ordinary day. Although, whether I liked it or not, someone, somewhere out there in the universe, had other plans.
