A Quaffle, My Butt and Other Big Round Things.
CHAPTER 1: An Abandoned Book
Jill sighed as she flipped through the channels, with a glum expression upon her face. For you see, today was the last day of Winter Break, tomorrow was her return to the boring world of high school. She brushed the crumbs from her pajamas as she put the bag of chips away. Jill knew she needed to stop eating when she was bored, but old habits are hard to break.
Jill is a freshman, standing at only five foot one, with dark brown hair and plain brown eyes. She did have pretty facial features, and a nice tan complexion. Although she was no beauty, she did have a few extra pounds. Even though she wasn't obese, she was bigger than most girls. Jill was proud of her latina bottom and her C cup bust; but with those curvaceous assets, came more weight.
She wasn't always like that, when she was little she was in cheer leading, dance, and was very thin for her age. Around fifth grade, when her parents separated, and she dropped out of cheer leading, she started putting on some pounds. Jill learned to live with the weight as she wore more black and got used to the snide remarks.
School wasn't bad, she had an outgoing spirit to go with her robust body. Jill had many friends from church and school; there wasn't a class where she didn't have at least one friend. She was content with it, but did long to be like her friends.
She never did turn heads, and the only boys who where interested in her were the ones who spent weekends at planetariums. Her dream man was tall dark and handsome with an athletic body; but as reality settled in with maturity, she soon lowered her standards. Although she wasn't allowed to date until she was sixteen but with her fifteenth birthday already past, it slowly inched towards her.
A ringing brought her out of her revere.
" Hello?" She asked, picking up the phone.
" Did you organize your binder?" A familiar voice asked.
" I'm starting on it right now mom." Jill answered tiredly.
" Alright, well I won't be home until ten so please make dinner for your brother."
" O.K. Bye."
Jill turned on the stove as she pulled out a box of Macaroni-and-Cheese, then poured in the noodles; letting them boil. She then dumped out her back pack as her messy binder fell to the ground. She looked through her average grades of C's A's and a few D's. Her life was boring, all she did was hear the nag of her mom and babysit her little brother, even though he was only eleven months younger than her.
The day ended as Jill started her morning back to school.
" Hey, Jill!" Courtney greeted, flashing a dazzling smile while flipping back her golden hair.
Jill only grunted in response, she was not a morning person. She watched as the group of her popular and beautiful friends flirt with the normal crowd of admirers. Jill watched longing for a moment, before pulling out a book.
" Will you stop reading? That's all you ever do!" Courtney's sister Kiley asked.
" So what?" Jill asked annoyed.
She secretly knew what they were talking about though. She would get lost in the story, picturing herself flying over mountains or swimming in the deepest oceans. These stories would take her away from the boring everyday; even though she would have to return to cruel reality.
Then the bell rang, signaling the start of droning classes. Soon the bell for lunch rang, as Jill hurridley made her way to lunch, finding her regular table. She sat down with next to Kiley as she then suggested they wait in the lunch line together. Jill agreed as hunger started growing in her abdomen, as they swiveled around the lunch room.
" Well, well, look who we have here." A voice mocked, once the pair arrived at their destination.
" Shove off Paige." Kiley started.
There stood Paige Sterling, one of the popular girls at school. She has envied Kiley ever since she found out that her boyfriend had a crush on her; in the second grade! Since then it has been a battle between the two, and Paige's little sidekicks.
" Oh, do I sense jealousy?" She asked observing her manicured nails.
Kiley was the bigger person, and just turned back around. Although Jill was a fierce friend, and did not appreciate someone talking to her like that.
" The only one jealous is you!" Jill spoke up.
" Look who decided to speak up." Paige mocked, twirling her red hair.
" Why don't you be a good fat girl, and go eat your feelings."
Jill's retort died in her throat, as she felt the affects of the remark.
" Stop trying to make fun of those who don't throw up their food!" Kiley shrieked, as she heard what was said to her friend.
This silenced Paige as she stomped off with her clones following her.
" Jill, are you alright?" She asked turning towards her deathly quiet friend.
" I'm fine." Jill whispered.
" Look don't listen to her, this is between me and her." She added, knowing how touchy Jill was about this.
" L-Look I'm not so hungry, I'm just going to go to the library." Jill said hurriedly, leaving before Kiley could protest.
Jill fled out of the lunchroom and into her the library. She led out a breath of relief as she entered her sanctuary, and instantly started browsing in between the walls of books. Jill replayed the insult over and over in her head, as a painful lump in her throat started to develop.
She tried to blink the tears away, but soon felt them burning down her cheek. She instantly moved towards the back of the shelves, surrounding herself with old, dusty, abandoned volumes. She knew the insult was week and petty but it still hurt.
Jill quietly wiped the tears away trying to steady her breathing. She mindlessly pulled books out an read the cover, trying to busy herself. She pulled out a rather thick one, abandoned on a bottom shelf, looking at a grand castle illustrated across the front.
' Hogwarts' History!' It read. Jill searched her mind through the various castles she had read about, but she never heard of this one. She soon did a double take, she could of sworn she saw a bird fly in the picture.
" That's ridiculous." She thought.
Although curiosity got the better of her as she slowly turned to the front page. Before she could even finish the first sentence. A light erupted from the middle of the page, as it surrounded her. Jill gave a cry of help as she felt herself being lifted into the air, as she spun around and around.
She opened her eyes as the blinding light became softer, and gasped as she spun around what seemed to be clouds. She watched as she seemed to be sucked out of the library and into the air. She felt the book ripping, to which she desperately clung too. Before she knew it, the book had split in half, as she went crashing down to the ground.
Jill cried out as her body made contact with branches of a huge oak tree. She felt cuts and scrapes form painfully across her body, before falling to the ground. As Jill made contact with the ground, her head fell on a particular protruding root, as her world spiraled into darkness.
Did you like it? Please review!! I know that I have a different story, and I plan on continuing it. I don't know if that's allowed or is done often, but...I guess I'll try to manage both!
