Hey guys! Here's the first chapter :3

This chapter won't include many OC's, and it's meant as mostly a background chapter, but the other chapters are a work in progress.

By the way, all of the OC's should be in the story by the fourth or fifth chapter. If I don't use your OC, it's either because you didn't give me enough information, or I just honestly couldn't develop your character. I'm really sorry if your OC doesn't get used! :(

So anyways, enjoy the first chapter!

NOTE: the next chapter will take a bit longer, because I am creating relationships and putting the final touches on some characters.

The chemicals burned my lungs as I took one last deep breath in the school's darkroom. I love the way everything turns an eerie red color when the photo safe lights are on. It's always been like a home away from home place to me, and I'll miss it dearly. I shudder in nervousness when I think about the place I'll be moving to in 6 hours time. I'm still not too sure if it's smart for a small family of ginger Jews to move to a small redneck town in the middle of nowhere, but South Park was the only place that offered my mom a pretty good paying job.

Mom said this will be the last time we move, on account of me being 17 and a junior and all. I'm just worried for my younger brother, Dan, who's only 11 years old. This is the fourth time we've had to move since Dad died when Dan was born, so Dan's never had a home town or anyplace to fully call home.

I take one last look around in sadness and walk into the revolving door. But before leaving, I turn to stare at the light switch on the wall and concentrate in ways that I have never done in school before.

*click*

As the light switch goes off, so do all the lights. Ecstatic, I silently jump for joy; I'm getting better at this!

As quietly as I can, I turn the revolving door and walk into the photo art room. I walk across the room and crawl through the open window that I came through, and slip into the night.

Did I forget to mention its 1am on a Saturday morning?

It's only a 30 minute walk home from the school to my house, but since I've got all the time in the world, I take my time. My phone buzzes in my pocked, disrupting the peaceful quietness of Florida at night.

Allie, where r u? ur not in ur bed…

That would be Dan. Poor kid, he's been having nightmares for about a month now. Speaking of which, that's around the time I began to…how do I put this without sounding cliché…"See dead people". And move stuff by looking at it. This would be totally awesome, minus the creepy dead people part. And the fact that I kinda suck at telepathy…But I'll get better.

Dont worry Dan, i just went back to school for the last time, im almost home okay?

I begin to jog home, as much as I love the night I don't want to keep Dan waiting.

Ok Allie, hurry.

I flip my phone shut and head on home as fast as I can.

"Allie, Allie is that you?"

I can hear my brother's soft voice from my window above me. Thank god we live in a one story house. I grunt my answer and climb though the window.

"Oh Allie, you need to stop running off like that!" My brother exclaims while simultaneously attempting to pile-drive me. "You were in my dream this time."

"What was it about?" I ask softly, brushing excess dust from my jacket. I always listen to my brothers dreams. Ever since that night one month ago, everything he's dreamed has came true one way or another.

"You were dressed in all black, and this giant red puffball came out of nowhere and sat next to you. But once he sat down this girl with crazy brown and blue hair came out of nowhere and started attacking you with squirrels. I tried to help you but this kid my age with black hair grabbed my hand and pulled me away. I turned around to look back but this white mask was blocking my view. I screamed at it to move but it wouldn't…Then I woke up to tell you but you weren't here!" Dan puffs out his cheeks in anger at me.

"Your dreams are freaky" I whisper, mentally noting every single little detail.

"You're freaky." My brother responds creatively.

I roll my eyes at the childish comment and give him a quick hug. "Look, I'll make sure to look out for red puffballs and blue hair and white masks, but we have bigger things to worry about right now. Like the fact that YOU should be in bed."

"Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"I'm 17; I can go to bed when I want. Your 11; you should have been in bed hours ago."

"I WAS in bed hours ago!"

"Well, you should be in bed now. We've got a long day ahead of us, and its only 2 in the morning. We're both going to need our sleep."

Dan huffs in frustration and shuffles off back to bed.

"Goodnight Danny" I say, giving him a big smile.

"Night night Teddy" He responds, calling me by the middle name I hate, and quickly runs out of my room before I can throw a pillow at him. Suddenly exhausted, I plop down on my bed (which is now void of everything but a blanket and a pillow due to everything else being packed in boxes) and it doesn't take me long to drift into a dream land filled with snow, sunny beaches, and squirrels.

Aw crap, my phones about to die. i was up late last night and 4got to charge it, sorry, gotta go. ttyl! (come visit me, I live next to some coffee shop place.)

I'm walking off the airplane that just landed in South Park, quickly sending a text to an old friend before my phone craps out on me. I remember James like the last time I saw him was yesterday. But it wasn't; the last time I saw him was a year ago; after his dad died, he and his mother moved from Florida to South Park. We only kept in touch since he was my only friend in Florida, but it's awesome that I'll know someone at my new high school.

lol same old Allie XD I know the place, I'll see you there!

Just in time too, I barley read it before my phone went black and stopped responding. Now useless, I chucked the phone into my messenger bag and walked out of the airport and into the winter air. Shivering, I pulled my hoddie tighter around me; I'm going to have to get myself a new one…

"Allie, where's our new home?" Dan asks me, tugging at the bottom of my jacket. I shrug in response and grab his hand so I can hold it while we walk.

"Okay kids," my mother turns to speak to us, "Just over this hill is our new home. Isn't this exiting?" She smiles wide and begins to hum, trying to sound enthusiastic. Dan sticks out his tongue at mom and I giggle. And then I lightly smack him upside the head.

Thank god the moving trucks already moved everything into the house; it would be such a pain to have to move it ourselves. I grab my box and drag it to the back of the house where I called my bedroom. Immediately I begin to tear open the box and dump everything on the floor. I examine the room closely and begin to hang each picture, poster, and piece of artwork exactly as I want it. After a half hour, I'm finally satisfied with my work. I'm about to fall back on my new bed when my mom calls me.

"Allie sweetie, come out here and help me unload all these boxes!"

*sigh*. Ugh, yup. Today is definitely going to be a long day.

Woohoo! Not bad for a first chapter if I do say so myself. Not all the chapters will be written in Allie's POV, by the way. The next chapter's gonna be written in Jamie's POV or Tweeks, I haven't funny decided yet.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE leave feedback, questions, comments, or anything! Review away!
