This is the second chapter in my first story. I really enjoy writing these but I feel like I could improve. Please review.
Chapter 2: My Teacher is Possessed
One month later.
Hi, I'm Alexander. I never thought that this school year would be so much different from all the others. My Mom promised me that it would be different this time. I asked her why it would be different but she would just change the topic. My mom is an exceptional woman, she raised me up all on her own. When I asked her who my dad was she just said that he was in the army and he was killed in action. When I met Simon I thought that that was going to be the biggest change of this year. He looked a bit older than the other kids but he assured me that he was 12 years old just like me. Having a friend was a whole new experience for me. The school year started out great. We were going on a field trip today to some sort of bridge. It seemed like fun because we had built bridges in workshop before and I really enjoyed it. I wasn't very good in the other subjects. I have ADHD and Dyslexia so my reading skills are not exactly good, I lost concentration a lot.
"Everybody on the bus." One of the chaperones said. A man with long curly red hair tied back in a ponytail. He looked like a hippy to me, but then again all the teachers did. All the teachers except for Ms. Kensington. She was a new Simon had told me. He doesn't like her very much, he thinks there is something wrong with her. Everybody got on the bus.
"I can't wait to see that bridge." I said to Simon.
"You're really that excited about a bridge?"
"It's not just any bridge. It's the Great South Bay Bridge." Simon seemed really nervous about something. The whole year he hadn't acted like this. It put me on edge. We arrived after a few minutes. Everyone got out of the bus. I looked up and saw the huge bridge. I'd never seen something like it. I really enjoyed architecture but I'd only seen pictures of the real famous buildings. Now that I was up and close to this bridge it made me feel like building something.
"Before we start our tour everybody should grab a packet. Try to answer as many questions as you can." One of the hippie teachers announced. Everyone took a packet and we started our tour.
Our tour guide was a middle aged lady who seemed to have been doing this job for a while because she didn't sound very excited. I was the only paying attention. Everyone else was either talking or playing cookie clicker on their phones. My Mom never let me have a phone, she said she didn't trust it.
The group moved of to another part of the bridge. I stayed behind because I was trying to read the first question in my packet. I looked around and I didn't see where the group had gone. Out of nowhere Ms. Kensington appeared behind me.
"Follow me." She said. I didn't say anything, I followed her. I thought she was going to bring me back to the group but she led me to an empty room. We walked in and she closed the door behind us. She turned to face me. Her eyes rolled back into her head and the room went dark. Green smoke came out of her mouth.
"What the hell." I shouted, "Ms. Kensington are you okay?" I asked looking around for an exit but the only exit was blocked by my possessed humanities teacher.
"If you stay at Kando they will find you. You will go to camp, were you shall train. You will live in the shadow of Poseidon's son. You will go to the layer of the beast accompanied by two.
I didn't know what to say or what to do. I was shivering in fear. Why was this happening? What did it mean? Her face went back to normal and the room lit up again. She walked out of the room leaving me alone by myself. Simon ran in.
"Why are you alone in this room?" He asked.
"I think Ms. Kensington is possessed."
"What are you talking about?" I told him what had happened. He looked very concerned. You must have been hallucinating or something because Ms. Kensington is over by the group. You must be dehydrated or something.
"I hope you're right."
"Don't worry man let's get you back to the group."
When we got back to the group I didn't see Ms. Kensington anywhere.
"Where's Ms. Kensington?" I asked Benedict.
"Who's Ms. Kensington?" He said looking quite confused.
"Never mind." The rest of the field trip I couldn't stop thinking about what my imaginary possessed teacher said. What did it all mean? What camp was she talking about? I don't know so I decided just to forget it. Besides no one had ever heard about Ms. Kensington before. The school year went by and everything seemed normal. Simon and I made plans to go to a summer camp that he said was awesome. I couldn't wait. Finally the last day of school I went to my Mom's house with Simon. My Mom was bringing us to the camp.
In the car Simon and my Mom locked eyes and my Mom started talking about the camp that we were going to. We were almost there.
"Alexander, I need to tell you something. This camp is not just a summer camp."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I'll explain when we get there." Simon said."I hope we get there safely."
I wondered what he meant by that.
If you liked it please let me know. Anything you would like to change or anything you liked please let me know. I'm sort of rushing through this prologue section so that I can start writing the more exciting stuff.
