Professor Layton and the Lost Future-hello Kat
Welcome to the very first chapter of Professor Layton and the lost future with Kat in it! It's so exciting! Just so everyone knows, this story is told from Kat's point of view, so you really need to have played the first bit of the game to understand it. If you haven't played it, then go do it, now, but the lowdown is that Luke and Layton get a letter telling them to go to a clock shop which instantly takes them to the future.
P.s. sorry that there were a couple of words missing in the prologue they were removed by the spell checker
The day began like any other. Get up, get dressed, have breakfast. I ate my toast slowly. It was Monday and my dad was already at work. Not that that made any difference.
At school, as usual, the teachers were completely oblivious to the fact that Carrie Fielding was making snide comments(again) and we had to write an essay in English so I was already in a bad mood by school canteen hadn't improved the menu since Friday and we were yet again faced with inedible baby sick disguised as mashed potato.
I headed to the library after eating. One of the things that often surprises people about me is that I love reading and writing. Writing stories, that is.I used to love English lessons in primary school but all they did here was make you do pointless stupid essays. So much for an education.
So there I was, reading when I caught sight of a group of older boys pushing a small boy against the wall. I took a closer look and realized it was Luke.
I put down the book and walked out onto the field.
As I got closer, I heard what they were saying.
"You're such a crying mummy's boy."(He wasn't actually crying, though.)
"Let me go" Luke said bravely.
"Let me go" imitated the boy. "Idiot. Bins are the best place for you."
"I disagree." They all turned around to look at me.
"Ooh look, your girlfriend's come to save you. Why don't you watch while we beat her up, like we do you?"He grinned evilly.
This actually made me laugh. "You just try."
He lunged for me and I dodged and kicked him in the back before boBbing under his arm and elbowing him in the howled and ran off, no doubt headed straight for the I was in trouble .
I turned around to Luke. "Are you okay?" I asked him.
"I'm about you?"
"Don't worry about me." I turned around to go find the teacher before she inevitably found me, only to find myself face to face with Carrie Fielding.
"Look at this, everyone!" she yelled. "Kat got a boyfriend!"
That was the moment when I snapped. One short clean movement was all it took to slap her.
"I'm sorry Kat but we just can't allow it." The headmaster paced up and down while I sat scowling in the chair. "Two students. Have you got anything to say for yourself?"
"He was bullying someone," I replied moodily. "Who was going to show him?"
"And what was your reason for slapping the girl, Carrie?"
This was where I got really angry. "Carrie Fielding has been bullying me all year and not one single teacher has noticed! I have been listening to her make every mean comment imaginable in that shrill voice of hers that teachers can't seem to hear!"
"Well…I'll look into it, Kat. But there is no excusing what you did. You will be in detention after school until half-term doing some work that I will set you."
I felt really depressed walking home. Luke wasn't with me because he had gone home while I was in detention. Right now, the world sucked.
When I got home, I got changed and sat on my bed reading for a bit. I had done all my homework in detention and now I was bored. I looked out of the window at the street. And then I saw a face that I hadn't seen for a very long time.
Almost sensing that I was watching them, the girl in the hood turned and walked down the wasn't long before I was running after her.
Pursuing the girl proved difficult, as if she were following someone I was Kat and no-one could get in my way. Stealth is actually my middle actually is because I wanted a middle name, so I gave myself one. Stealth.
My quarry turned into a smaller alleyway and I was about to follow her when suddenly someone grabbed my hand. "Hello my pretty." He began but one single punch from me sent him reeling backwards into the wall. I turned into the alley and stared.
In front of me was a clock shop.
Is this suspense or what? Please review or I will feel lonely :(
