Chapter One


Yay. New school, Sweet Hill High and Elementary. Now all I have to do is wait for the monsters to come, I thought, so boring. Why must life be boring?

"Jane, Jane, Jane!!!" Mr. Frank screamed. Shesh answer the dude already... Wait that's me. Oh crap.

"Yes, sir," I said as soon as he stopped screaming.

"Finally, off in la-la-land I suppose?" He was trying to cool off. He gets mad pretty easily...

"Nope, just exploring where my brain is supposed to be," I snickered. I am so glad somebody invented sarcasm. Life would be even more boring without it.

"Well, maybe something in that empty space will answer this math question," He pointed at the board with a long stick that looked like a hickory switch.

"Hmm..." I pretended to study it intently. "My space came up with three different answers. A:-2, B:3, or C:this is a stupid question," I managed to say with a straight face.

Mr. Frank glared a glare that gave the meaning if looks could kill. Compared to my parents this wasn't as half as bad so my nutty self went on, "Hey, the space came up with it." I managed a shrug without busting out laughing, but my hard work didn't get to anyone else in the classroom for they laughed hysterically. Even Nick, who never shows any emotion, chuckled, which was a feat for me. Oh, you should have seen the look on Mr. Frank's face. l think it was impossible for him to get any redder.

Okay, that may be true but it didn't stop him from turning purple. A couple of pushes in the right direction may get me sent to ISS. ISS is my favorite place in the whole school, second only to the cafeteria when it serves edible food... Which is almost never. All you do in ISS is basically nothing, so who wouldn't want to go?

"Mr. Frank, just to warn you so you don't get even more purple, cause you look like a freakin' eggplant. I'm going exploring some more, so later." l put my chin in my hands and stared off out the window. l couldn't resist more than a few seconds to not look at him. He was turning blue. Maybe I should give him a nickname to commit this moment to memory forever... Mr. Eggplant! Has a ring to it don'tcha think?

"Janice Wallis, do you want me to call your parents?" This made me laugh.

"Sure! Where do you think i get my wonderful sense of humor? i have only one request though, tell them every detail," With that I fell over laughing. A curious thought slipped into my mind at that moment. What if he has a heart attack? Some death certificate that will be. Albert Frank died from a stress heart attack caused by Janice Wallis being sarcastic... Would that consider me a murderer? l hope not.

"Fine. You get three days in ISS," he said finally calming down. I got up and sat back down in my chair

"Fine by me. Do I start today or tomorrow?" I was calming down too. Weird, I am never calm. l felt somebody starring at me. I swiveled in my chair to look.

"Tomorrow," Mr. Frank said, but I barely heard him. I was focusing on trying to find the person. The only person not working on math was a quiet guy named Jasper Hale. He stared back at me not looking away. Finally he blinked his eyes. when he opened them his brown iris's moved barely to reveal gold. I blinked madly for a second. I finally figured that I didn't imagine it.

That only left two questions. Why did he wear color contacts? Why did he have gold eyes?
