Chapter 1: Dead
'The mysterious disappearance of Tatsu Yamashiro remains unsolved. Less than a year ago, the 15 year old girl was reported missing from her Gotham City home. Her whereabouts are unknown. If you have any information,…..'
A black and white photo of the teen appeared on screen. Even in black and white, a certain mischievous glimmer could be seen in her dark, expressive orbs. Orbs that Jason was helpless under when forced with their gaze. He remembered staring at her and quickly glancing away once she showed awareness of his focused stare.
Tatsu heard a soft snicker come from the library aisle behind her. She walked towards the source of the sound. A young, redheaded boy, with a hardcover edition of Great Expectations sat cross legged.
'What are you laughing at?'
'The names. They sound like something you would name a stuffed toy'.
She strode over and plopped herself beside him, flipping her waist length hair out of the way and over her shoulder.
'I can`t believe you seriously believe you finished reading that book.'
'Want me to tell you what happens.'
She nodded.
'Pip gets Estella in the end. Can I read you a bit?'
She shook her head .
'I loved her against reason, against promise... against peace, against hope, against happiness... against all discouragement that could be.'
Jason snapped out of the trance that the rainy day had placed him under. He always hated rainy days, as they always forced him to be alone with his thoughts. His smartphone rang and he groaned. Did he seriously need to deal with humanity at this time. Fortunately, it was just Kirk.
'What`s up?'
'Did you hear?'
'Hear what?'
'Magaret`s moving back.'
'Why would she come back to this hell hole? Where was she before?'
'Some people say France. Others say Germany. The point is she`s back.'
Jason ended the call. As if one girl wasn`t enough to deal with, he had to deal with this crazy chick too.
He didn`t need to be able to predict the future. He could already tell that this school year was going to suck, and suck majorly.
Yeah, not much of a first chapter. I haven`t written for a while, so forgive me if it`s depressing.
