Please review!
Chapter OneScanning the school library was one of the more invigorating things Dan ever did on Sundays, almost anything including reading a book or playing an MMORPG was on a Sunday really, Dan dreaded Sundays because he knew the next day would be another school day…He sighed. Nothing could be better in his days than watching episodes of his favorite TV show; Avatar: The Last Airbender, Dan's favorite day was Friday, that was always when a new episode came out. He practically worshipped the show, before he went to sleep he had to think of Avatar or he would never sleep through the night…
Daniel peeked through the side of the bookcase; he was checking if the librarian was still there, kids weren't allowed in the library during the weekend. He was only able to get inside through the backdoor that the librarian never locked, he had to get in the library before 9:00 because that was when the librarian came to work, if the door were to creak when she was there, she would get suspicious. Dan ruffled his hair, it got itchy a lot because he needed a haircut, (he didn't like his hair too long) and looked at the books aligned in front of him, he sat on his left leg as he scanned for a book, with an appealing name which involved fantasy and at least more than 300 pages, if a book didn't have at least one of the things he would never read it. Daniel was 13, currently in 8th grade, had brown hair, brown eyes (which seemed to be getting darker), and was probably the most abnormal and weird person in the class.
Order of The Phoenix, no I already read that twice, So You Want to be a Wizard no. 4, 5 and 6, no I'm tired of those books too…, How To Take Care of Your German Shepherd, sounds cool, I might look at that later… He had read at least 1/6 of the library and the library was fairly big. He sat up but crouched a little so the librarian wouldn't be able to see the top of his head, he brushed the books he passed by and stopping at some.
Dan: "Whoa, a spell book, nifty!" he whispered to himself (he stuffed to book in his pile of books-to-read) On the book cover was written in bold letters Standard Books of Charms and Enchants below the title was some weird enneagon with shapes in between the lines. Of course Dan didn't believe in magic so he just thought it was a joke and it would be cool to check out. Dan checked his watch, it was 9:21, he had been in the library for a while, checking for the librarian he packed up his two books and hugged on to it, if he were to escape he would need to be stealthy, even though he had a lot of experience with getting out of the library he was always cautious. As he crawled through a corner his shin hit the side of the bookcase just so to make him whine and make a small yelp.
He checked the corner again for the librarian, she had to have heard him, she wasn't there anymore. Dan panicked, oh crap, oh CRAP! Dan looked at his bruise it was dark purple, he looked left and right, did she know where his yelp came from? Should he run, he thought if she saw a kid run out of the library she wouldn't have enough time to identify the face…or would she? The back door is 4 yard away, she would only see the back of his head, she would never know, but then they would lock the backdoor forever and I won't be able to go back to the library again on Sundays. He took a deep breath, maybe if she doesn't see me and I'm quick and decisive like Azula I could get to the door being un noticed and close the door slowly so she wouldn't hear him leave, then she would just think it was a bird or something. But then again if I were Azula I would whoop the librarians butt and run out of the school with her handcuffed to a chair.
He relied on his instincts and in a matter of time he was next to the door, he looked over the bookcase to see if the librarian had gone back to her desk, nope, she was still on the hunt, he thought. He looked back at the door, he very slowly turned the knob and with only 2 tiny squeaks he shut the door behind him.
"Dan?" said a voice, uh oh. He looked to his right from where the voice came from, and Dan was deeply relieved to find it was just his friend from across the street.
Dan: Oh, hi Tyler!
Tyler: Uh, what are you doing at the library; I don't think you're allowed in there.
Dan: Don't tell anybody "Young One" (this is a name he liked to call people)
Tyler: I'm only 3 and a half years younger than you.
Dan: Please don't tell anybody I was in the library, can you promise? By the way, why are you here?
Tyler: I like going on the swings on the playground…
Dan: Um, okay…
Tyler was a little bratty kid from across the street, who moved in only 4 days ago… Dan noticed a smug smile slip across Tyler's face.
Tyler: You know Dan… I heard they reward when they find a rule-breaker and tell them in… Is that true?
Sadly, it was true, a way to manipulate kids his age, Dan got nervous but thought he was just joking, he really wasn't sure
Dan: The principal is a moron, that can ruin friendships, manipulation I say…
…There was an awkward silence.
Dan: Don't tell me you're going to turn me in…
Tyler: I will.
Dan broke into a break-neck speed sprint away from Tyler The little brat! From behind Dan could here Tyler screaming for help. Dan turned left past the forest and to the road , on his way he past at least 2 café's and a fast food restaurant, then he crossed the street right and breathed roughly on to a wall to a dog care center. Dan looked left and right, there was no way he would have proof, right? Dan lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina; the capital, Dan had never been to the United States, but was completely fluent in English, Dan's mother was British. He had heard a lot of cool things about the United States, but many people thought Americans were all spoiled and filthy rich, they have people like that in The United States, but people were racist of North Americans and sometimes bully North Americans just because you were born there, I mean serious they didn't have a choice… Argentina, or at least what he had seen had had so much litter on the ground it was un-natural and a lot of stray dogs with broken legs and beaten up cars and abandoned houses, almost all buildings needed a painting job, but in a way it kind of gave the place an exotic look. He wanted to go there one day, and try out a bean burrito at Taco Bell because the only fast food place there was Mc Donald's and occasionally Burger King.
Dan looked at his watch, it was 9:26, Dan cursed out loud, a stubborn looking Mom with a 6 year old gave him a menacing look, Dan chuckled nervously. Getting to Dan's Home from where he currently was would take him almost 12 minutes walking, running he would barely make it home for breakfast which was at 9:30, if he didn't get home on time his older brother would eat all the delicious waffles. Running in Buenos Aires was a little dangerous because the pavement was at sometimes bumpy and sometimes juts of badly paved cement would stub your toe. Being nimble like Ty Lee he moved across his obstacles and after atleast what seemed 2 and a half minutes looked at his watch; 9:29. His home was three blocks away, he ran faster than he ever did on any normal P.E day to his house, a two story yellowish-brownish house made of clay with a green and spiky tree on the front yard he thought looked like a drawing from a Dr. Seuss book.
Dan opened the door, he checked his watch again, it was 9:31.
Mom: Dan! Hurry up! Eric already ate 2 and a half of the 4 waffles!
Dan's Mom didn't know going to the library during the weekend wasn't allowed.
Dan: I'm coming!
Eric: Yo Dan (Eric ate a huge chunk of waffle)
Dan: Hey, I got some pretty frickin' awesome books at the library, I got this Book of Spells and Enchants!
Eric: Cool-i-eo!
Dan: I'll show you in a second, I want to chow down on these waffles.
Dan had totally forgotten the previous event but the book he got was plastered on to his thoughts. Dan ate 2 waffles and a half topped with syrup he drank a glass of milk to finish it off and was on his way to his bedroom, Eric in his wake, they were both eager to read the spell book. Dan took out the book from his backpack and laid it out on the floor. Eric had a look of apprehension on him, he was sprawled to the floor looking over Dan's shoulder. Dan flipped open to the first page, it was a glossary. There were some names of chapters like Teleportation, Arcanism, Shamanism, Bending Space, List of Simple Charms, the list went on, and the book seemed to get bigger hen you opened it. Dan eyes felt as if they popped like a popcorn seed.
Dan: I call reading it first!
Eric: You suck.
The book was amazing; the book was about 400 pages, though he was able to finish the book before school started on Monday. The text was pretty small and there weren't very much pictures. He couldn't memorize the spells very well, not like I'll use them he thought, Dan thought it would be a good idea to show his friends this book, but then they would all want it and he wouldn't be able to read from it much. Dan was in bed thinking about the book and memorizing spells, it was 6:45 in the morning and thought he should get ready for the school day so crawled out of bed and started walking to the kitchen for some cereal. Dan's feet felt very weird, it was kind of like that sinking feeling and his feet felt really cold, he looked down at his feet and felt a deep pit in his stomach drop and he mostly felt like throwing up, he was hovering 2 inches above the ground.
Dan: Holy s-
