Chapter 1
Introducing the one they call Reena
Reena was late. That's all she could think of when she left for school that day. She past her older brothers in the kitchen, who were yelling for her to slow down, she called behind her shoulder. "You don't understand! I'm late!" Reena shot out of her house and jumped on the side walk. When she got a good distance away from her house she slowed down to a walk. She tied her hair wrong this morning and she needed to fix it.
"Where in heavens name is my hair brush?" She exclaimed. Rummaging around in her backpack she spotted it. "There you are!"
As she was brushing her red curly hair she talked to herself.
"Now why do I have this curly mop? Is that really necessary? No! Everyone in my family has brown straight hair. But nooo! I just have to have this red curly… stuff!"
"I like it."
Reena jumped. A boy behind her had spoken. Seeing her jump made him smile.
"Sorry for scaring you. My name is Scott Summers. What's yours?"
Reena did a quick evaluation of him. He is tall with dark brownish hair and sun glasses on. Wait. It's cloudy today. Why is he wearing sunglasses? Reena's green eyes shown with her questions.
"My name is Reena, Reena Styks. Why are you wearing sunglasses?"
"Uhh… I'm just… I have headaches so I wear sunglasses."
"But it's cloudy." She countered.
"Your point?" Scott asked staring at her.
"Right… so… where are you going?" Reena looked at him skeptically.
"To school. You?"
"Oh just to that large building to be locked up into a room with a bunch of other kids for about eight hours."
Scott smiled, and walked right next to Reena. "Well, I've never seen it that way before."
As they walked to the school Reena kept looking at his glasses. Scott, looking in her eyes smile,
"Yes? Is there a problem?"
"no not at all. Everything is just dandy!" Scott smiled.
As they walked Reena heard the first bell. "OH! I need to go! Bye!"
Scott watched as she ran to the door, not knowing that she would change his life forever.
