Somewhere In The Between
Prologue: Cast no Shadow
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, it's a wonderful day in the park…but not really, and I'm not even in the park either. I'm just staring at it through my window because it's raining. And I lied. The sun isn't actually out, it's supposed to make people feel good or something when you say that, but really…they know it's corny. Like the beginning of any Disney movie corny. But not Pixar; Pixar rules.
So it's the last day of summer before school starts tomorrow, and I seriously could no be happier. If I had my way, summer wouldn't even exist, it would just be in the minds of every horny jock or cheerleader and it would only be in their imagination. Because everyone knows what they do when their parents go away for a second honeymoon in the middle of school vacation, right? But that's just it. I'm not a cheerleader, and I most certainly am not horny. I've never even had a crush on someone, let alone perverted thoughts about them.
It's fucking Forks, for crying out loud! It's gotta be one of the smallest towns in the history of forever. And the second that a teenager gets pregnant or even does it, BAM! Everyone knows. But I never know these things. All I hear is people chatting in the lunch line. And when I do hear, I get nasty glares, or blink stares from the shy kids. You know the one, right? Where they stare at you but blink every two seconds, wondering why you're in their presence in the first place? But it's not always the case, and I'm not a complete loner freak-a-zette. I have two friends. Angela Webber; shy slash only Goth-girl in Forks High, she always sits with me at the only empty table in the cafeteria, along with Mikey Newton, my best friend who's about the only gay guy in Forks. I mean, we have gay people. Take for instance Tray Peck. Gay as a two dollar bill who stopped me at my locker once to tell me that he had a puppy-dog crush on Mikey last year when everyone was cleaning out their lockers. I just smiled and nodded, and then I walked away.
And finally…me. I'm a nobody, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Its how life goes. Who am I to question it, right?
So…here I am. Sitting on the sill, wishing for something to come my way, but it's hopeless of course. But it doesn't hurt as bad as it would if I weren't listening to Oasis…it kinda just drowns things out with the words, and the music.
"As he faced the sun he cast no shadow…"
So whatcha think?? Huh?? Huh?? Too short? Should I re-write it and stretch it out?? It's all up to you, so of course I'll need your reviews!!
One or two's okay, but I'd really like five or more. And if my wish is granted, I'll update sooner and longer. Also, if anyone has any ideas that they'd like to see in the future, PLEASE SHARE!
Cheerios and milk and all that…
