On with the story....
Chapter One- Another year, another trial.
"Bradley! Wait up!"
14 year old Solera Maxwell ran to catch up with her friend.
Bradley Crawford, 15, or Brad as he was more commonly called, turned around and smiled.
"Solera! Haven't seen you for a while. Did you have fun in Germany?"
Solera had been in Germany on vacation with her family for the last 3 months. She had missed her best friend so much and it was good to see him again.
"It was fun, but there's nothing like being home."
There was a few seconds silence before the school bell rang.
"Hurry up, or we'll be late!"
They got to class 5 minutes late.
"Mr Crawford, Miss Maxwell. So nice of you to join us. Have a seat."
Brad and Solera nearly groaned out loud. Not Mr Adams! What a way to start Year 10. Mr Adams was the worst teacher at Pacific High. They took their seats and Mr Adams continued to speak.
"As I was saying to the rest of the class, I am your homeroom teacher and science teacher this year. And," he began to smile, "we also have a new student. His name is Kio Müller*** and he's from Germany."
Mr Adams stepped aside to reveal a boy about 15 with fiery red hair and mischievous green eyes. Solera recognised him immediately.
"Kio!"
Kio squinted.
"Solera! Wie geht's?"
"Gut, gut. Und du?"
"Ja, ich bin gut, danke."
Mr Adams noted that Kio and Solera seemed to know each other.
"Kio, would you please sit next Solera, and Solera, would you be able to show him around today?"
She nodded as Kio made his way towards the empty seat. Brad passed a note to Solera. It read:
How do you know Kio?
Solera wrote back:
I met him while I was in Germany. We became friends, but he didn't tell me he was moving to America!
**************************************************************************** **************************************************************
After school, Kio walked home with Brad and Solera.
"So Kio, why did you move to America?" asked Solera.
"Well, my dad had some business he needed to attend to here."
"What does he do?"
"He works for the government." Kio frowned for a moment. It was clear he wasn't going to elaborate.
What a coincidence, Brad thought, so does my dad.
They walked in silence until they reached Kio's house.
"We'll be over at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning," said Solera, "make sure you're ready."
"Okay. Goodbye!"
Kio went inside.
"Kio, how was your day?"
"Fine, Vati."
"You look.unhappy. Is there a problem?"
"Nein."
Kio went up to his room and closed the door. Who was he kidding? There was a problem, a big problem. He didn't like his father, and his mother didn't want him.
I live a sad existence, he thought.
**************************************************************************** **************************************************************
Solera did the usual thing she did every day after school:
She went over to Brad's house until 6pm, then she went home . Her parents worked full-time. Brad liked the company and his parents liked Solera, so it was a system that worked for all involved.
The two teenagers disappeared into Brad's room.
"Brad, what do you think of Kio?"
No answer.
"Brad? Brad! What are you doing?"
Brad seemed engrossed in what appeared to be the Wall Street Journal.
Solera attempted to get his attention again. "Since when have you been interested in the stock market?"
"Since my dad told me about it. It's a way to make money."
"And a way to get grey hairs before you're 20." Solera leaned back on the chair she was on, and put her feet on Brad's desk, "I intend to stay as far away from the stock market as possible."
"Typical."
Solera sat up. "What do mean by that?"
What I mean is that you're gonna be one of these people who have no interest in the future. You'll just take every day as it comes."
Yep, that's the best way."
Brad rolled his eyes.
"Back to my question," said Solera, "what do you think of Kio?"
"He's okay, I don't mind him, but I know what he thinks of you." He turned to face Solera, who looked back at him confused.
"I'm waiting.." she said impatiently.
"He likes you, Solera."
"What, Kio? Nah, we're just friends."
"I've seen the way he looks at you."
"Brad, you've known him for all of six and a half hours. How can you tell?"
"Instinct."
It was Solera's turn to roll her eyes. "I gotta go home anyway. I'll see you tomorrow." She walked out the door and down the stairs. "Boys are so confusing."
**************************************************************************** **************************************************************
"Girls are so confusing," said Brad.
Suddenly his head began to hurt, and he fell into a trance-like state, eyes closed as if he were concentrating. In his mind, he could see his dad talking to him, saying something about moving to Japan. He didn't see any more after that, because his eyes opened and he fell, exhausted, on his bed.
10 minutes later, his father knocked on the door.
"Come in," said Brad.
The door opened, his father came over and sat on the edge of the bed. "Hey, son. I've got some news. We're moving to Japan!"
Brad sat bolt upright in bed. "We're doing WHAT?!" he yelled, almost unable to form clear words. "I foresaw this!"
Mr Crawford, who had been playing with the hem of his jacket, looked at his son. "Did you just say you foresaw this?"
"Uh-huh."
"Did you see it through a vision?"
Brad nodded.
"Did your head start to hurt just before it happened?"
He nodded again.
"Okay. I have to tell you something important. Make sure you listen carefully."
Brad leaned back on the headboard of his bed, waiting for his dad to continue.
"You are psychic. So am I. We're both precognitive; we can both see into the future, about 10 minutes, I think."
"Can Mum?"
"No, only the Crawford side of the family."
"Can I control my ability?"
"No, that's the downside. It'll come without warning."
"Dad, how long have you been a pre-cog?"
"Since I was your age. It came as a shock to me, too."
"Oh."
"If you ever have any trouble with it, come and see me."
"Thanks, Dad."
Mr Crawford walked out of the room, leaving Brad alone again.
Aside from his newly acquired ability, the only thing on his mind was Solera. He couldn't stop thinking about her. Her pretty hazel eyes, her reddy-brown hair, the way she frowned when she was concentrating. He would have asked her out already, he was going to today, but then Kio came on the scene. Brad could have sworn Kio was a telepath. A few times, he saw Kio looking at him strangely. And later on, he felt like someone was trying to tell him something, and the signals were coming from Kio's direction. It sounded like, "Solera's mine," but he wasn't sure. Maybe he was just being paranoid.
Now he would never be able to ask Solera out. He was moving to Japan in 3 days. He would have probably never been able to ask her out anyway. Not with Kio around. Solera acted different around Kio, almost in a flirting manner. Mind you, so did the rest of the girls in the class. Kio ignored them and focussed on Solera. Damn him.
**************************************************************************** **************************************************************
Solera was doing her homework when the phone rang.
"Hello, Solera speaking."
"Solera, it's Brad."
"Are you okay? You don't sound too happy."
"I'm not. I'm moving to Japan at the end of the week."
"JAPAN?! How am I meant to see you if you're all the way over there?!"
"I..I don't know. Maybe one day you can visit me. Anyway, I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay. Bye." Solera hung up and went to tell her parents the news.
"Mum, Dad, Brad's moving to Japan at the end of the week!"
"We know, honey. His parents told us just before," said Mrs Maxwell.
"We're am I gonna go after school?"
"Well, maybe you should ask Kio if you can stay at his house. I'm sure Mr Müller wouldn't mind."
"Okay. I forgot about Kio."
Solera turned to walk away, then stopped. "Would I be able to visit Brad when he's settled in?"
"Solera, sweetie, times are tough. We wouldn't be able to afford it."
Solera continued to walk away, eyes welling up with tears. She got to her room, fell onto her bed and cried herself to sleep. Life just wouldn't be the same without Brad.
END CHAPTER ONE
*** "Kio Müller" is a certain German's real name, according to my story, so don't take it as fact!
What did you think of it? I need your reviews to help me improve it, if it's necessary.
