Chapter 1: Meeting new people
Len's POV
It was dark. I ran through an endless maze, not knowing how long I'd been going. A minute? An hour? Days? It didn't matter. I had to keep running. My life depends on it.
I hear the thumping of footsteps behind me, the only sound in this eerie chase. I could hear its heavy breathing down my neck, feel the sheer size of the thing. My throat was parched, and the stitch in my side was killing me. If only I could stop for a moment, if only the monster would give up the chase. But there was absolutely no chance of that happening.
I turned the corner and ran into a door. Finally, a way out of this godforsaken maze! I grabbed the door handle and flung myself beyond it, hoping that whatever awaits me on the other side would be better than this.
I slammed the door behind me and looked around. It seems like I'm inside of a bedroom… MY bedroom! It's nighttime, as I can tell through my open window, and the curtains billow slowly in the breeze. I sighed in relief, and headed over to my bed to sleep away this nightmare. I throw back the covers, but there is already someone in it.
A giant, living banana turns and smiles at me.
"Len, it's time!" it said.
I jerked awake, my yellow pajamas and bed sheets soaked with sweat. My older sister Neru jumped back from my bed in surprise. She was already dressed, and it looked like she had been awake for a while.
"Geez Len! What is wrong with you?" she asked. "I was yelling at you to get up! You don't want to be late for your first day at the new high school, remember?"
I rubbed my eyes groggily and sat up in my bed. "Just because you get up hours before school starts doesn't mean you have to get me up early too."
She bopped me in the head with her cell phone and waved it in front of my face. "It hasn't been hours, Len. School starts in fifteen minutes."
I stared blankly at her for a moment, my recently awakened brain still processing what she had said. Then I realized, and nearly hit the ceiling with my head as I jumped out of bed and onto my feet.
"Why didn't you wake me up earlier, Neru?" I cried, rushing to get my things ready. I pushed my older sister out the door before she could respond and slammed it shut behind her.
Seriously, that girl! She knows that I'm a heavy sleeper, why didn't she wake me up when she woke up? I threw on a white-and-yellow shirt and some shorts, then slipped into my shoes and ran out the door. I dashed downstairs and, passing through the kitchen, grabbed a banana smoothie as my snack for the bus. I snatched my backpack, already filled with the necessities the night before, and rushed out the door and down the street to catch my bus.
I managed to get on the bus just as the doors were closing. The bus driver glared at me.
"Heh heh," I laughed nervously at him while I looked around for an empty seat. I could see a couple seats open, but about half of them were clearly being saved for other people. I saw an especially energetic green-haired girl with goggles pushed up on her head sprawled across an entire seat with her arms splayed to cover the whole row. Since she was taking up the aisle area as well, I could only choose from the couple of rows in the front.
"Is this seat taken?" I asked a couple of boys that looked around my age.
They looked up at me, and one of them said, "Sure, man." I sat down next to him and took some time to study them.
The one that had offered the seat to me had blue hair and a scarf. He looked like he would have been tall, if we were standing up, and had a sort of mature look to him, except for the giant grin on his face. The next one had pink hair and a sly, flirty smile. He seemed interested in almost every girl on the bus. The third boy had turquoise hair and aquamarine eyes, and seemed very cautious of the other boy next to him, who had long purple hair tied back into a ponytail. The guys all grinned at me as I sat down.
"Welcome to the weirdos!" the pink-haired boy said, gesturing to the rest of the guys. The turquoise-haired one smacked him in the back of the head, but the pink dude elbowed him back. The creepy purple guy just watched them wrestle with each other, while the blue boy sighed.
"I'm Kaito," the blue boy said, "and this is Mikuo-" he gestured to the turquoise boy, "—Gakupo—" the creepy guy, "and Luki, who likes flirting with every girl he sees."
"Guilty as charged," said the pink-haired boy, Luki. He and Mikuo had stopped fighting and were both grinning again. "Welcome to the wacky wagon…"
"Len," I said, "and it's good to know that there are other weirdos out there."
"Well," Mikuo said, glancing at the others, "you could hang with us. It's the beginning of high school, why not have a group of friends before it even starts?"
I smiled, grateful for the support. My sister and I had just moved to this town a week ago, so I barely had time to get settled in before I was whisked off to a brand new school.
"I'd love to," I said.
That's it! How's that for a first chapter? Who DOESN'T want some new friends when they move into a new community? Len's having a great start.
I hope you guys will forgive me for the sort-of-short chapter. I'd like to see how this appeals to people as I go on, so don't forget to review!
