Ch. 1- The First Meeting

"Don't stop believing!" Hayley finished singing while doing her chore for the day, laundry. A boy walked into the room, while she was singing and sat down. Hayley didn't recognize him so he must be new.

"You have a nice voice." The boy said and walked off.

Next time Hayley saw the boy, she was sitting in the living room and writing her story. He sat down next to her and asked "What are you writing?"

"None of your business." Hayley said to him.

"Is it your homework?" The boy asked.

"No, I am writing a novel." Hayley informed the boy.

"So you're a girl of many talents?" He asked.

"I guess so." Hayley said as she looked down blushing.

"Awesome." The boy said in monotone. He got up and started to walk off.

"Hey!" Hayley called after him.

The boy turned around and asked, "What?"

"What is your name?" Hayley asked.

"Eli." He said. He turned and walked off.

"He is the strangest kid I've ever met." Hayley thought.
