"Lost"

CHAPTER 1

Strange Girl

Numbuh 4 was walking down the hallway with his friends, when all of the sudden, he noticed a girl. A strange girl. No one liked her.

Her name was Kerri Hill. She was so dark and mysterious. Her long, straight, brown hair never flowed in the wind. She never smiled. There was always a small flame in her red eyes, that is, if you ever got close enough without dying. Her hair was parted on the side, instead of the middle. She wore a black long-sleeved shirt with a long, black skirt. She wore boots with dagger-like spikes on the bottom, so she always scraped the floors with them. She had her ears pierced once; the earrings were hoops. She had a bad reputation.

Numbuh 4 couldn't stop staring at her. She was so different. Then she noticed him staring at her. Kerri glared at him with her cold, red eyes. He shivered and looked away. Numbuh 3 noticed Numbuh 4 shiver.

"Numbuh 4?" asked Numbuh 3. "Are you okay? You're shivering."

"I'm fine," said Numbuh 4. "It's just Kerri. She so strange! Can't you help but wonder what she's like?"

"I don't wonder," said Numbuh 2. "But come on! Kerri Hill? More like Dairy Hill!"

Suddenly, the hall was silent and cold. They heard Kerri's boots scraping on the floor. She was coming over to Numbuh 2. They met face to face. She glared at him. There was no doubt about it; she had heard him. She glared at him again, but this time, her eyes were colder, and it looked like she was concentrating on something.

Suddenly, Numbuh 2 became frozen! His whole body turned to ice!

"NUMBUH 2!" yelled Numbuh 4. He ran over to Numbuh 2's frozen body. He was in tears. Then the sadness faded and turned into anger. He faced Kerri. "What is wrong with you, FREAK!"

Numbuh 4 expected to see a freezing glare, but he didn't. He saw sad eyes. Kerri's expression on her face had changed. She looked miserable and lost.

"Help me," she said, and walked away. Everyone stared at Numbuh 4. Numbuh 2 had eaten his way out of the ice.

"Dude!" said Numbuh 2. "How did you stand her freezing glare?"

"What are you talking about?" asked Numbuh 4. "Kerri wasn't glaring! She looked at me with sad eyes! She looked miserable and lost! She asked me to help her! Don't you remember?"

"Dude," said Numbuh 2. "She wasn't looking at you with sad eyes. She didn't look miserable and lost, and she didn't say anything. She was glaring at you." Numbuh 4 was confused.

"Didn't anyone see what I saw?" Numbuh 4 asked. Everyone shook their heads. "What's going on?" thought Numbuh 4…
