Chapter 1
"Congratulations! You survived another night Lily." says my best friend Cara, cheerfully. I just smile and concentrate on the menu for lunch. We were at the back of the line as usual chatting on about paranormal things; ghosts, ghouls, haunted houses and demons. Cara was just concentrating on me and watching my every move. She thinks that a ghost or a killer is haunting me and planning my death… I think that it's a crazy idea but Cara thinks otherwise. "Maybe they're thinking about how to kill you," Cara says in an eerie voice "Oh God… what about they're planning to torture you! Like, um… ripping of your limbs and pulling out all your teeth!" I just sigh… me and Cara have always been best friends since we were born, in fact we were born in the same hostpital on the same day at the same time. It's freaky, but many people think it's a lie. We are totally different in appearance, Cara is a little bit short and a tiny bit chubby with short blonde hair. I'm a tiny bit tall and a little bit too thin with long black hair with a fringe that goes over my eyebrows and almost to my eyes. You might think that it's cool to have a long fringe because it looks edgy and gothic. That may be the case for some but for me my fringe is thick and hurts my eyes. People think I'm a goth because I mostly wear dark colours, but I'm not… I just like dark colours. I don't understand why some people think that because me and Cara were born on the same day that we're twins! While Cara keeps on talking to me I realise that the queue has become incredibly short and I'm almost to the food, I decide what I want and grab a plate.
"Roast potatoes please." I ask "Just roasties?" says the dinner lady.
I nod.
"Okay love" she sighs, I get a bigger portion than the rest of the school. Mainly because everyone including Cara think I'm vegetarian, they'd be surprised if they 'accidentally' invited me to Nando's for tea. I grab a drink, and pay for the food like everyone else. I sit down beside some of the popular girls…
Their sophisticated chat about One Direction comes to a silence as I start to eat my lunch. Amy, the bossiest of all of them opens her mouth "Lily…" she says. I look up. "Go sit somewhere else…" she says bitterly. Usually, if someone told me to get out of my seat and sit somewhere else I'd do just that. But now it was different, Amy has bossed me about since the first day of school and to make things worse she has to sit beside me in art bossing me about how the shading is wrong or that I have drawn tonal instead of line. So all I did was stay where I was and keep on eating, pretending that she had said nothing. Amy begins to growl and says it again "Go…sit somewhere else…" I do exactly what I was doing before, ignoring her. "Go sit somewhere else!" shouts Amy this time pushing me out of my seat and onto the window. The force of the push ends up to have me pushed so hard onto the window that a chip appears. The chip soon starts getting bigger until my head is out of the window. My vision is starting to get blurry as I try to keep my eyes open. But I can't… the last thing I hear is a teacher shouting at Amy and screams coming from near tables. Until all I can hear is my own tired breath.
