hey guys! so the last time I was on fanfiction was probably like oh, I don't know...8 months ago, so I've decided to start a new story.
Hopefully you guys like it! Feedback and ideas are always appreciated too. :)
Do you ever feel like you're in a fishbowl, being stared at from all sides? Well that was how I felt now.
My name is Andrea Mae Cooper, fresh out of the city and lost in the small town I had just moved to, Castle Rock. My mom told me that everything would be fine, that we would be happy and that I would fit in right away. Well now sitting in my new seat in my new classroom at my new high school, this didn't seem to be the truth.
The teacher placed me in the back corner of the classroom and every few seconds or so someone would whip their head around to get a good look at me. All I could do was stare at the clock until the big and small hands hit 3 o'clock, so I could finally be in peace and out of this fishbowl of a high school.
3..2..1 BEEEEP
I jumped from my chair and ran out of the school faster than anyone else x10. I hauled ass back to my house, getting lost in the process. I ended up crossing the bridge that enters on to Main Street, and took a good look and a deep sigh at the small town of Castle Rock that I was now forced to live in.
I looked at all the cracks and markings and character the town had, and how all the people were friendly and waved as you passed by. In the city people are always in a hurry, so it's kind of a nice change.
I then started noticing that I was either surrounded by old people probably just coming from their Friday afternoon knitting clubs, or parents who just picked up their kids from the local elementary school. There was no one my age, not one cute guy or one girl that I could be friends with. I mean there were kids from school but they were mostly from neighboring cities, and summer was coming up so there wasn't much chance of me hanging out with anyone outside of Castle Rock, unless I had a car, which unfortunately I don't.
I sighed again. What was my mother thinking when she decided to accept the job offer she received out here?
I trudged down Main Street and decided to cut through an alley that I would hope would lead to my house. It was small, dark, and narrow and probably wouldn't be a safe place to be at night, but it was the daytime and I figured this town didn't have those kinds of problems anyways.
I thought wrong.
As I walked through the alley I heard yelling in the distance and footsteps pounding on the pavement. I was just about to exit the alley to see what all the commotion was about until I felt a cold hand and arm wrap around my body, hold me back and cover my mouth. I froze and could tell that a guy was holding me, but I couldn't make out his face in the dark alley.
I finally managed to loosen out of his grip a little, and then saw more dark figures coming down the alley. My heart was beating a thousand beats per minute.
What have I gotten myself into…
