Chapter One: They Say She Walked Through the Rainbow...
DR. HELLIFROND'S SCHOOL FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN
"Oh, look. It's Leppy's little friend!"
Rynn spun around, slamming her locker shut, her fine fair hair fluttering like a torn butterfly's wing in the rain. A simple glance was all it took to distinguish who it was. She hated this kind of girl, but there always seemed to be an abundance of them at every school. The worst part was, Rynn knew she could be one of them if she tried.
"What do you want, Summer?" she asked curtly, ignoring the peals of laughter spreading around her. The other girl smiled.
"Only to offer my condolences about the loss of your 'friend,' of course," she said sweetly, her blue eyes wide with fake innocence. "I heard little Rosie went missing. They say she walked through a rainbow. Personally, I think she was probably high."
As much as she wanted to punch her in the face for insulting her friend now, of all times, Rynn wouldn't dare. She knew how to handle this without violence. Calming down had always been an asset of hers, and she didn't feel like losing years of painstakingly soft words for a girl she hated.
"Thank you."
The crowd wanted a show, and was displeased with the turn of events. They reluctantly turned back to their previous conversations with less enthusiasm as Summer walked away. Thank the gods that's over. What does she get out of messing with me anyway? Proof that she knows the word 'condolences'? Rynn wondered. But what she really wanted to know was where her best friend was, why she left, and why no one seemed to think it really mattered. I never knew of any, but she had to have other friends. This place is huge, especially for a learning disability school. She had to have someone... right?
Next chapter reveals the real name of Rynn's friend, 'Rosie.' ALSO: Rynn is actually not a major character. She's mostly in the beginning.
