I suck at intros, so just read it :)

I heard a faint sound as I was walking along the sidewalk, as me and my friend, LeeAnn were walking back to her house. It was after school. I'd met her there, because I don't go anymore. I quit. Normally I wouldn't have looked. I wouldn't have noticed. I would have carried on my way, not thinking about it, not knowing.

But today I stopped.

"What's wrong, Laine?" My friend, LeeAnn asked.
"I heard something down there." I replied, crouched down to the drain. "You're crazy." She said.
"No, I'm serious!" I laid down and put my ear to the drain. "LAINE! People are looking at you!" LeeAnn was covering her face with her hand. She embaressed easily. In any case, I ignored her. I heard faint crying.
"Oh my god, Lee, I think there's a kid down there." I stood up. "In the drain? Nah, you're being weird." LeeAnn replied. "Am I the ONLY realist here??" I shot back at her.
"I think you're being paranoid!"
"Am NOT. I'm serious."
"Well, what do you expect ME to do?" LeeAnn defensively said. Sometimes LeeAnn gets on my nerves. She's even more self absorbed than me. I handed her my cell phone. "Call someone who cares!" I snapped at her.
"'scuse me? And What are YOU going to do?" She replied.
"What do you think?" I grabbed my keyring which had a small torch on it.
"What the hell are you doing, Laine? You're crazy! You're only 17!! You're too young to die!"
"Who said anything about dying??" She has no faith in me. Just like everyone else. Maybe today I'll prove myself.
