Lyra's POV
LOG 47
A bunch of girls made fun of my today. I hate them so much. What do they have against me? Luckily, Avery was there to help, (as usual). Right now, I'm just sitting by a lake, just chillin'. Like everyday.
I closed my notebook and tied the strings around it. I felt the worn out leather as I stroked it. No, I don't have a diary. It's just a log book. My parents got it for me around a month or so ago, and I've been keeping track of all my thoughts. I think it's a way to kill time almost.
I stared at the lake. I was fairly large, a nighttime mist sprayed over it. A small wooden dock stretched out into the lake, with a rowboat tied to it.
I kicked a rock and sighed. No point wasting my time here. I thought. I stood up and walked away from the lake, to the woods. Large trees towered over me and leaves fell onto me. It smelled of Autumn, dried leaves and sap. I was never actually afraid of the woods. I was like a Bridge to Terabithia to me. Although I'm 14, I act like a 10-year-old. I believe in everything. I love fairy tales and I'm always a dreamer. In school, I barely pay attention, I just stare out the window and day-dream.
That's the reason that girls don't like me. But who cares? Not me!
I reached a white picket fence and leapt over it. I live in Washington with my parents in that little white house that people dream about having. I ran up the lawn and up the brick stairs. I opened the screen door and opened the main door and entered, flicking my muddy shoes off.
"I'm home!" I shouted. My mother came around the corner, washing the dishes. She spends all of her time cleaning. I swear I can skate on the floor because they're so clean.
My mother was tall and thin, with brown, long hair combed to the side and green-ish silver eyes. She always was smiling. And she always wore red lipstick. Ugh!
"Hi sweaty!" she yelled and hugged me. Mothers. Double ugh! I tried to pull my mother off me, who seemed to have glued her body to me. "Mom! Can't breathe! Personal bubble!" I desperately cried. She undid her grip and pushed her hair to the side.
"Sorry." she apologized. "It's okay." I said.
She giggled and said, "So, Lyra, I'm concerned about your grades." I stared at her. What? I thought. I always get good grades! Does this lady want me to do better?!
"What?" I practically shouted. "I have straight A's!"
"That's the problem. You are too smart. Are you cheating?" she asked. I gave her a blank stare. I gritted my teeth. The problem with this woman is when she gets two seconds of her time to talk to me, she's always judging me. I walked in front of her, bumping my side into her. She called out my name a billion times, but I ignored her.
I slammed the door to my room and let out a large groan. People! I wanted to shout. My room was kind of small. It was purple and white. My bed was also purple and, well, everything was either pink or purple. I turned on my iPod and played the karaoke version of Set Fire to the Rain by Adele. She and Ed Sheeran were my favorite artists. I had an okay singing, and I loved to.
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cry
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
When laying with you
I could stay there, close my eyes
Feel you here, forever
You and me together, nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true
And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt somethin' die, 'cause I knew that
That was the last time, the last time
Sometimes I wake up by the door
Now that you've gone, must be waiting for you
Even now when it's already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Let it burn while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Where I felt somethin' die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
I stopped singing and gasped. I flopped into my bed and stared at my white ceiling. I put my hand on my neck and felt my locket under my shirt. I took it out and stared at it spin. It was a symbol of something, but I had no clue what. My father tells me it's from him, but I heard an edge in his voice. I bet a thousand bucks it from someone else.
I got up and walked into my bathroom. I examined my body. I was short for my age, but I was very well built. I lived in the woods, so hiking and running helps. I had long, black hair with the tips a touch of brown. I had cheek bones sprinkled with freckles. The only thing I loved about myself was my eyes. They were a beautiful bright blue.
I stripped off my clothes and took a cold shower. My parents can afford hot water, but I was an eco-activist, so cold showers were my life. After my shower, I put on a pair of sweat pants and a blue tank-top. I grabbed log book and flipped it to a new page.
Along with it being a log-book, it was also my drawing book. I was clueless what to draw. Then, I thought of my locket. I held it in my left hand, while the other hand drew it.
When I finished, I marveled at my work. It looked kind of like it. Not an exact replica, but close. I closed up my book and turned the lights out. I slowly shut my eyes and fell asleep.
I woke up in the morning, feeling awful. I was so tired. I really did not want to go to school today. I got up like a zombie out of a grave. I trudged to the mirror and I look terrible. My eyes drooped and I looked pale.
I walked downstairs and stared at my mother, who was doing some paperwork. She noticed me and gasped. "Honey, what happened to you?" she asked.
"Can I stay home?" I moaned. She got up and felt my head. I begged my head to feel warm."You feel warm. Fine, I'll call the school." she said. I never get to stay home from school. Yes. I thought.
"I need to run some arens, so stay here and be good." she said, than left. My zombie face turned to a grin. I'm so bad. I thought.
I ran up to my room and played Firework by Katy Perry. I grabbed my long sleeve, grey and blue school jersey and some jeans. I jumped and sang while I brushed my hair and teeth. I put the song on loop, grabbed my iPod, my phone and a bag with a lunch and my log book.
I ran outside and galloped through the woods. I laughed when a ton of leaves fell from the trees. It was like nature was showering me with love. I flopped on the ground. The leaves poured on me, covering my head to toe. I laughed.
My joy was shortly cut. I turned my iPod off when I heard a sound of thumping. Like footsteps almost. I sat up and looked around the woods. The trees prevented me from seeing anything.
"Hello?" I yelled softly. "Hello!" I yelled a little more loudly.
I heard a swish go past me. I breathed more heavily. I ran the other direction. Suddenly, the woods felt a lot more scarier. I looked back and saw a creature with purple eyes and eight legs. It looked like a huge spider!
"That's it Lyra! Let's play tag! I'll be 'it'!" it shouted. It sounded like a she. "I don't like this game!" I called back.
I dove under a log and over a rock. She merely jumped over both. My lungs burned and my legs ached. Just when I thought I was going to burn out, something grasped my leg, making me trip and fall. My leg was wrapped in some white webbing. I tried to get it off, but that only made my hand stuck to it. Oh jeez. I thought.
I looked up and saw the creature towering over me. Her reached down her hand and everything went dark
Awesome, right?
Right?
