Hi everybody! *Awkward wave*
This is Crystals exclusive guide to you who just can't seem to pick up a hot guy!
Step 1) Don't fall out from an empty tree log and into another world. However, we all know how difficult that can be to avoid. But fear not! For I will guide you, on how to smoothly exit the embaressing situation!
Just don't freak out and try to run (Failing) and in stead of getting away, bumping into a blonde guy with a sword. If you don't do that, you'll be fine...
Of course, that's exactly what I did.
After awkwardly having stared into the blonde guys eyes for like, forty seconds, I said something sheer brilliant. The likes of:
"Um... I... What? New York" As I looked around, my fear was confirmed. I was definitely not in New York.
"Are you alright?" A hand on my shoulder pulled me away from the blonde, blue-eyed boy. Just making me realise how inapropriately close we had been standing. Turning to face the owner of the hand, My eyes locked with brown ones. A young man in weird, old-fashioned armor-thingy was looking at me. It seems nothing but pure, sophisticated, geniusness escaped my lips that day. Because my next words were:
" 'Scuse me what?"
"She's in shock" The guy with the brown eyes and werid armor looked around at a crowd I hadn't even noticed was there. Taking a look around, I realised, that wherever I was, it was summer.
A girl, about twelve years old, walked up to me.
"Hello" She smiled in a very friendly way, as she reached out her hand. Not saying anything I shook it, like you normally shake the hands of random people you meet after having tumbled into another world.
"I'm Lucy," She was talking very loud and clear, like I had hearing problems, or like I was just really, really stupid.
"This is Peter," She pointed at the blonde guy I had first bumped into. I stared at Peter and then back to Lucy.
"This is Prince Caspian" She pointed to the brown-eyed guy who had declared me in a state of shock... Pfft...
"This is Edmund" She pointed at a dark-haired boy who was maybe, like, fourteen?
"And this is Susan" Lucy pointed at a really (like reeeeeaaaaally) pretty girl, maybe like sixteen?
The friendly smile hadn't left Lucy's face for even a split-second.
And then, Crystal Anderson, being the social genius that she is, just smiled awkwardly and waved.
"I'm Chris" I looked around, while awkwardly waiting for someone to say... I don't know... something!
Maybe something like:
'This is all a prank'
'It's just a dream'
Or 'Just climb back up the tree and you'll be fine'
Those were the most awkward five minutes of my life... Not counting the one when I walked into a lamp post, at the place where the news were being filmed... And yes... Yes it was on the news...
"Chris short for Christina?" That dark-haired kid.. Edmund was it?
"Short for Crystal" I looked at Edmund. Then I looked around. Then at the tree from which I had fallen out of.
"Where am I?" Four of the kids exchanged glances. Then the oldest girl, Susanne? Stepped over to me.
"Crystal" Well if that's not a british accent then I am a llama! I actually live a secret life as a llama... Ssschh!
"We know that this might sound strange but... You're in another world... "
My first thought was 'OHMYGAWD I'M IN CANADA!'
But noooooooooo! Because that would've been wayyyyyy to easy!
"You're in Narnia" Okay I thought, Okay... ummmm... Just... I... What... I... Narnia?
"Is Narnia in Canada?" The prince looked at me.
"What's Canada?" I just stared dumbly at him.
"Really Casper?"
"It's Caspian ac-" I held up a finger to his lips.
"Why are you all dressed like the medievals?" Nicely observed Chris! *Mental shoulder clap*
"Look Crystal" The blonde guy I had first bumped into, his eyes were really blue BTW, took a step towards me.
"Everything Science have taught you, you need to set aside" His blue eyes were sincere and his palms were facing upwards. (Sign that someone is telling the truth)
"Um.. Okay?" I braced myself for what was about to come.
"You know that the world is infinite, right?" I nodded my head, while crossing my arms in front of me.
"Well... How do I put this..." He looked up into the sky for a moment.
"There are... More worlds than one, more infinities than one" It wasn't as hard to fathom as you might think. I mean, an infinity is an infinity. So I guess two infinities are as infinite as one, right? And if we already have one infinity, how can we be sure there isn't another infinity somewhere inside, or outside, or parallel to our infinity?
All these thoughts crossed my mind in the split of a second.
"And I've traveled across infinity in less than a second?" He seemed surprised over my calmness... Well... I am very calm and in peace with myself and all that...
"Time works different in different worlds" Peter explained.
"We" He made a gesture to Lucy, Edmund, Susan and himself-
"We're from England. We were here in Narnia two years ago in our time. But it's been hundreds of years in Narnia"
"Will you answer all my questions?"
"I'll do my best" He smiled. He had a nice smile. I took a deep breath.
"How do you travel from world to world?"
"Magic"
"Are there different laws of gravity and such in the different worlds?"
"There exists magic in some worlds, but aside from that most of the physics are the same"
"What about unicorns?"
"They exist in Narnia"
"Really?" Peter smiled.
Lucy, was it?, Interrupted my staring by saying:
"People don't just come to Narnia-" She looked around,
"They're sent here for a reason." An uncomfortable mood spread through the crowd.
"Lucy's right-" Edmund stepped up next to her.
"We should bring her back to camp, if not for anything else, then to keep an eye on her, make sure she doesn't hurt herself or anyone else" Okay, that's just rude!
"You don't think I can handle myself, punk?" During the last couple of weeks, (my homeless weeks) I had earned, quite the tough attitude. Edmund flinched as I took a step towards him. Crossing my arms confidentially, I raised an eyebrow at Edmund, and started impatiently tapping my foot.
"Well?" I looked at the crowd.
"I don't know where your camp is!"
