Chapter : [ 1 ]
Amity Park…
The town that's filled with ghosts.
I didn't want to move here but I didn't really have a choice. Then again what parent asks their kid if they wanted to leave their entire life behind, mine sure didn't.
Our car pulls into the driveway and when it stops everyone gets out of the car, everyone but me. I stay in my seat for a couple of seconds before opening the car door and look at the house in front of me. It was a little big but I'm sure I'd get used to it. My younger brother just stares at the house in excitement, he was the only one excited about the move. Well him and my parents.
"Come on guys let's get all the boxes in before dinner."
We all head around to the back of the car and my dad opens the trunk. We all start to grab boxes until they're all out of the car. I grab one of my boxes and then carry it upstairs to my room. It was easy to figure out which one was mine, dad had the movers come and set up the furniture in all the rooms.
I take out my rolled-up posters and pin them to the wall. After they're all put up I get all of my clothes out and put them neatly in my dresser.
"Nova, honey, time for dinner." I hear my mom call from the kitchen.
I put my books down and head downstairs into the kitchen, seeing two pizza boxes sitting on the island. One pizza was pepperoni and the other was hamburger, small smile forms on my face. I grab a paper plate and put one pepperoni and one hamburger on my plate before sitting down at the table.
"Are you excited about school tomorrow?" My little brother, Mickey, asks after he takes a bite of his
"Yeah, I'm really excited about school." My was parents give me a dirty look and my brother just continues to eat his pizza happily. They knew I was being sarcastic, he didn't.
I don't like school much. I always get bullied, but whatever. I probably deserve it, I'm a freak of nature.
After I finish my pizza I head back up to my room and fall back on my bed, a giant sigh escapes my lips. I wasn't ready for any of this.
A knock on my bedroom door causes me to sit up and turn, seeing my dad standing in the doorway. "Hey, kiddo."
He walks over to my bed and sits down. "Look, I know tomorrow's going to be hard but just try and look on the bright side. You never know this school might be different."
"Dad I doubt it." I reply in a monotone voice. "Ever since the accident I've felt different. I don't want to be a freak anymore."
"Son, your not a freak. Your special and you're unique. Don't let anyone tell you anything different." He pats me on the back and gets up from my bed, walking over to the door.
Before he leaves he says, "You should get some sleep, you've got a big day tomorrow."
I get off my bed and quickly change into my pajamas, which is a t-shirt and my boxers. I head to my bathroom and brush my teeth, before heading back into my bedroom I look at myself in the mirror.
My black hair looks white, my normal blue eyes are green, the black part of my jumpsuit is showing.
I quickly turn away and head to my room. I don't like seeing myself that way. I always felt alone and different. I climb into bed and when my head hits the pillow my eyes close and I'm sucked away into a dream.
The morning came way to fast, I was not expecting my alarm, at 7:15, to be blaring its god-awful sound in my ear. I shut it off and get out of bed, heading downstairs.
My mom hands me a plate of pancakes and I sit down at the table joining my brother and dad. I pick up my fork and start to eat them. When I'm finished I put my plate in the sink and head back up to my room and get dressed in a pair of jeans, my converse, a dark grey t-shirt, and my jacket that has this DP logo on it.
It's something I remember from when I was in my accident. I don't remember much but I remember that logo.
I grab my book bag and schedule off my desk and head downstairs. I say a quick goodbye to my parents and little brother before heading out the door and making the trip to school.
When it first appears in my view I instantly start to make a plan in my head. I wondered what was going happen in the next five minutes, you couldn't see it on my face but I'm absolutely terrified. I just hope today goes okay.
I make my way into the school and I easily find my way to my locker. I open it and pile all the books in it that I got the night before, I look at my schedule and see I have English with Mr. Lancer first.
I look up from my schedule and glance around the hall trying to figure out which way to go. Great, I'm doomed…
I droop my head in defeat and let out a small sigh as I grab my English textbook. As I shut my locker door I hear a girls voice ask, "Are you new here?"
Looking up I see a girl dressed in mostly black but she's got some purple and green thrown into it, she must be goth. "Is it that obvious?"
"Yeah, you look a little lost. Anything I can help you with?" Her purple lips parting into a smile.
"Um..yeah..I'm looking for Mr. Lancers English room." I reply showing her my schedule.
She looks at it and says, "You have all the same classes as me so if you stick with me then you'll be fine."
There's a small pause and she asks, "Hey there's a book in my locker that I can't reach, can you get it for me?"
I was taller than her so I figured I could get it for her. She doesn't even know me and she's being nice to me, it's the least I could do. I follow her to her locker and she opens it easily, "Can you get that blue book?"
I reach up and grab the book she's pointing to and when my feet level themselves out I hand the girl her book. She smiles, grabs it, and says, "Thanks, I like your jacket."
"Thanks." I didn't really know what to say, not many people like my jacket.
"How did you come up with the design?"
"It's something that just popped into my head." I reply I wasn't going to explain everything that happened to me in the past five months. This was the new start I needed and I wasn't going to mess that up by saying I was in a freak accident.
"I'm Sam." The girl says as the bell rings, telling everyone we needed to get to class. "Let's get to Mr. Lancers' class."
I follow her to Mr. Lancer and Mr. Lancer stops me as Sam moves on and goes to her seat. "Ah, you must be our new student, Nova Alexander."
I nod and ask, "Do you have a specific seating arrangement or can I sit anywhere?"
"Just sit anywhere, I'd like to talk to you out in the hallway when the late bell rings."
I wonder what he wants to talk to me about. I give him a nod and walk over to Sam and sit in the seat next to her. I didn't know anyone in class and Sam was the only one I did know so she was the only logical choice of people to sit by.
The late bell rings and a boy comes running into the classroom, out of breath. "Mr. Fenton, your late."
The boy, Mr. Fenton, sits behind Sam and Mr. Lancer says, "Mr. Alexander, hallway."
I get up from my chair and head out into the hallway, the door shuts and a tiny bit of fear makes its way up my spine. "Mr. Alexander-."
I interrupted him saying, "Sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Lancer, sir. But Mr. Alexander is my fathers' name. Can you just call me Nova?"
"Nova, your parents told me that you were in an accident a few months back. If you need to leave my class for any reason just let me know." He says giving me an apologetic smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Lancer but I'll be okay just if I don't get into any small spaces. After the accident, I became very claustrophobic."
"Thank you for informing me, let's get back in there." We head back into the classroom and I take my seat.
Class soon begins and I slump in my seat. I just hope the rest of today goes well.
