I picture you in the sun
wondering what went wrong May gods love be with you I know I would apologize if I could see your
eyes
And falling down on your knees asking
for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all
you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can
believe in
Always
May gods
love be with you
cause when you showed me myself I became someone else
But
I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I
picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You cant keep awake
In The Sun
Joseph Arthur
Once upon a time there lived a girl named Cadence. Although she was young and came from a good family she was not exactly what one would think of as a lady. She was as wild and free as the wind itself. Unfortunately she was not the brightest in school but always worked hard. She lived in a small town that looked as though it came from a fairy tale but was often over looked. With not much recognition from very many people the people of the town acted the same way. Not many people noticed the outside world or each other for that matter. Cadence was only truly known by a few and to the rest of the town as just a girl who disappoints a good family. Her peers at school treated her as much of the same way if they even noticed her at all. The students of the school too lived life with out noticing much of anything. But there was something about Cadence that made her different. It could be that she had a secret but what fun is it telling the secret at the beginning of the story anyway. Now let's begin.
"Cadence I don't think this is the best idea." said Rose.
"No trust me this is a great idea. All we have to do is just sneak into the school and I'll put the note in the locker for you. He'll never know it is you until he figures it out. Trust me on this." said Cadence.
Rose let out a sigh. This was the seventh time Cadence had asked her to put a note in the locker of her crush at there high school and each time she had said it was too risky. Only or the seventh time had Cadence talked her into. Sneaking into the school would get them in so much trouble if they were to get caught. Not to mention the added complications if Theodore read the note and figured out it was Rose and didn't feel the same way. The plan sound ridiculous but to Cadence, the worst in the class, it sounded brilliant.
"Quit your whining and just lift me up so I can get into the window." said Cadence and Rose did as she was told. Rose lifted the way Cadence taught her in dance class for Cadence and Rose took it together. Cadence barely made it to the window sill. She rattled the window a bit and it loosely swung on its hinges after a few good shakes.
"Okay toss up the letter." said Cadence.
"Cadence...are you sure?" said Rose.
"Yes. Now quick before some one comes." she said and Rose did as she was told and tossed up the letter.
Cadence slid into the school and landed on the cold white floor. She ran quickly up the flight of stairs to the locker rooms. She held her breath at the door, hoping it wasn't locked and to her surprise it wasn't. She quickly found locker number 7, Theodore's locker. Dropped to note into the locker and said a quick prayer that no one would find her in the locker room and that Theodore would feel the same way. She nearly jumped ten feet in the air when she heard the door open. She ran over to the jacket closet and stuffed herself into it.
"Now what was it you wanted to tell me." said a boy with dark blue eyes and a gray shirt. Cadence opened the door very slowly to just a crack to see him. She had to hold her hand over her mouth to not gasp at the boy who she thought was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She looked around to see who she was talking to but could find no one in the room.
"Oh I see. Well I'll do it and don't worry it will be done with in the month." Said the boy. He was standing near the window and Cadence could see a large raven that was about the size of an eagle in the window. She gasped again and thought maybe he was crazy. At that the boy turned to look at the closet. Oh no I've lost my cover!! thought Cadence. The boy walked calmly over to the door and jerked it open. Cadence fell out on to the floor. She was too shocked to say anything so instead ran out of the room as fast as she could and found the window she had came out of.
"Rose catch me!" said Cadence. But Rose had little time to prepare and instead just broke her fall. "OWWW! What's wrong Cadence?" asked Rose. Cadence stood up and pulled her friend to her feet. Then she ran down off of the school yard and into the street with Rose not far behind her. She finally slowed down in one of the narrow alleyways close to her home.
"Cadence, what's wrong?" asked Rose.
"Nothing. I just thought I heard some body coming." She said.
And they left it at that. Although Cadence wanted to forget about the boy she knew she would be seeing him very soon.
And who knew, she was right. At the beginning of class the next day the boy in gray was there as a new student. Everyone acted as they always. The class gave him a imperceptible hello and that was it. Only Cadence stared at him. Quickly Cadence grabbed some paper and wrote, "He's up to something, I know it", and slid it over to Rose. Rose wrote back "What are you talking about? He seems normal." Cadence couldn't agree more. He acted normal. He didn't say hi to any of the other class mates, he didn't try to make friends, he went on with life going without noticing anything.
At the end of the day Cadence was at her locker. She had kept a close eye on the boy all day only to find nothing. He was completely normal by the town's standards.
"Hey what's your name?"
Cadence nearly jumped out of her skin. She looked to her side to see the boy staring at her with inquisitive eyes.
"Excuse me?", she asked.
"What's you name?", he asked again.
"Cadence and you?" she asked
"Anthony." He said then walked away.
So maybe the new boy, Anthony, wasn't so normal after all.
