The Unexpected

Chapter 1

The sky was expanded in various shades of grey and white and black. It would seem that the sun had abandoned its attempt to break through the iron blind of clouds, that it has turned out to be satisfied to reclining behind them. Without warning, Lightning came ripping through the darkened sky, flashing its brilliant light illuminating the sky and the world below.

Kristi sat in the back of her class, watching as the once tranquil scenery, evolve into an untamed beast. Stealing the warmth of the sun that she once found comfort in. She peered through the fogged up windows watching, but her mind escaped reality and ventured in the endless cycle of her mind. Not truly interested in the events taking place in front of her, but for what had captivated her mind the night before.

It had shown very clear as a broad smile slithered on her face. She silently hummed to the Naruto opening theme song, inattentive to her surroundings-which she much preferred than socializing with the rest of the class as it would only be draining for her. Solitude was her best friend. The class was crackling with laughter, each one higher than the next as if to prove who was the loudest of them all. Her existence was unnoticed, everyone knew she preferred being secluded from the rest of the class and so no one tried to bother her.

Unaware of the looming figure slowly making its way to her, Kristi lets out a shrill noise that caused the entire class chattering to halt concurrently. Kristi glared at her friend Jaslene, who was too caught up in her laughter to notice the daggers piercing at her. A few seconds of silence and the class went on with its commotion once again leaving Kristi and Jaslene alone to their own devices.

"Why did you do that? Kristi snarled.

"Well because I wanted to", Jaslene replied as she slowly calms down her laughter. "I saw you smiling ever so sweetly to yourself, so I decided to come and have a little tease".

"Well it wasn't funny, so don't do that again! Kristi snapped back.

"Aye aye captain", Jaslene mocked. "So what are you over here smiling about during this cold harsh weather?

Jaslene found it ironic since Kristi had always disliked this type of weather and it amused her that her friend was somehow happy, instead of showing an annoyed expression.

And like a Christmas tree, Kristi's aura lit up ever so brightly. Her eyes, her lips, and her spirit all at once smiled back at Jaslene. Erasing all the anger that she had, except Jaslene knew that from her friends' expression she was in for it.

"I was watching Naruto again and it was AMAZING! Kristi squealed as excitement rushed through her voice. "I can't get enough of it…but I really do need to stop. I went to my bed around 2 AM and I tried to stop but as one finishes, I have to watch a next one, and a next, and a-

"OK! Calm down I get it". Jaslene interrupted. Seriously though, I really don't get it. What's so good about it anyways? Jaslene questioned with a puzzled look on her face.

Kristi looked at her friend in shock and astonishment; she could not fathom why her friend had asked her such a question. It hadn't taken long for Jaslene to realize that it wasn't the right thing to ask. She gritted her teeth and under her breath let out a low sigh, knowing what was about to come.

"Why do you love anime? They never exist". Jaslene argued.

"Why do you breathe? You'll die anyways. Kristi retorted.

Jaslene looked at her friend with a blank expression. Laying her two hands on the desk in front of her, Jaslene blew fumes of rising anger through her nostrils.

"You didn't have to say that. Jaslene protested, twitching her two thumbs together. "That can easily hurt". She stated anger visible in her tone.

"Congratulations, I almost gave a FUCK! Kristi exclaimed with an impassive look on her face.

Both eyes' pierced at each other, as anger and disbelief veiled their faces. The rain poured down mercilessly, pounding on the roof tops drowning out the laughter and chattering; replacing it with its own assortment of rhythmic pounding. Both however, were unaware of the events occurring beyond the thick walls.

The bell came abruptly, signifying the end of school. Jaslene sighed as she broke from her stiff position, releasing her eyes from Kristi as she made her way up to gather her essentials; likewise Kristi did the same. The hallways echoed with glee as children made their way out of the establishment and to their long awaited fortress called home. It was Friday and Kristi could understand their joy as well, she missed the comfort of her bed that could take away all of her problems.

Jaslene lead ahead of her, talking with a few classmates who seemed captivated by her friendly aura. Kristi could understand their attraction to her. Black, long wavy hair gently hangs over a strong, friendly face. Bulging green eyes set charmingly within their sockets, watching delightedly over the few that walked alongside her. Smooth cinnamon skin handsomely compliments her nose and mouth and leaves a bittersweet memory of her upbringing. She stood graciously among others, despite her big frame. There was something enthralling about her, perhaps it's her perseverance or perhaps it's simply her disposition; Kristi thought to herself. But nonetheless, people tend to befriend her, while learning as much about her as possible.

"So…what's the problem with you two now? A familiar voice came from behind, interrupting her thoughts.

"Oh, it's nothing". Kristi sighed with an unbelievable tone in her voice. Looking at her friend Nina with a brittle smile plastered upon her face.

"And you seriously think, I am supposed to believe that? Her eyebrows arched to show her disbelief. "How long have we known each other? Nina questioned; her heavy chestnut eyes studying her face.

"16 years now"

"Yes, so why try lying to me. It's only futile since I already know it's because of something unnecessary right? We've known each other since the dawn of time", Nina stated amusingly as she interlocked her hands with her friend; dragging her along the corridor, and making her way beside Jaslene.

"Is it about anime again? Nina persisted as she embraced the two bodies beside her; a smirk slowly crawling across her face.

"Ugh… what is so wrong with anime? Kristi replied in bewilderment; her hands followed in a solid fist.

"Everything, It's just Japanese cartoon". Jaslene snapped. "That is just pure nonsense, she finished her eyes closed.

"It is not just Japanese Cartoon", Kristi objected.

"Then if it isn't just a 'Japanese Cartoon', what is Anime? Nina questioned.

"LIFE", Kristi chanted as her hand outlined the shape of a rainbow, which glittered brightly, which only she could see. If only I could be a part of that world Kristi thought, it would be a dream come true.

Nina and Jaslene could only look at their friend in amusement. A broad smile shrouded their faces followed by their tumult of laughter which filled the halls as they made their way to the exit.

The three girls were bombarded by fierce winds, it screamed more than it howled. The trees bent and moaned in wrath, branches tore like paper limbs. The three were lucky to make their way out of the school and into a passing taxi, although they were partially drenched from heavens endless tears. This storm was different. It grew with rage and such anger as if to avenge the forgotten. Kristi's thoughts lingered on the horrifying sight which beheld her eyes and could also guess that her friends were thinking the same through there concerned expression.

The car became engulfed with precipitation, rendering it blind to what was ahead. Silence engulfed the car, as the once crackling radio came to an abrupt halt. Ahead Kristi could see a dim light shimmering in the distance and for a second it felt like time had stopped for her. Lightning came swiftly, a brilliant shock of white, forking silently to the unsuspecting ground - the thunderous boom always calling its warning too late.

As it was, the driver barely had time to evade the sudden attack before the air bags knocked him back and sideways. The car tumbled over and over into the isolated thoroughfare before coming to an absolute stop. The rain fell even more mercilessly as if to mourn their unfortunate demise. Kristi's eyes became heavy. Silence; it scared her more than the pain which had accumulated her body. She was briefly aware of the bloody taste in her mouth but she couldn't figure out what it was. With her last breath, Kristi's eyes slowly closed as endless darkness cloaked her vision.
