Chapter 1
All was normal at my high school Mayfield High, the girls were chatting, the boys were playing football and I was sitting by the field with my two best –and well only- friends: Lauren (who is bubbly and kind) and Eric (who has been my friend for longer than I can remember and is very understanding and sensitive.) The thing is I don't really fit in, people think I'm pretty with my shiny black hair and bright green eyes but I'm strange. I like to keep to myself and I'm not very sociable. So in our spot by the football field, where we hang out and eat our lunch is just Lauren, Eric and me, Thea Blaise. We've been in the same class for years and we always eat together. Then the bell rang, everything and everyone hushed and started to head towards the hall for our final assembly of the year, and of our time at Mayfield High.
I, Lauren and Eric sat together in assembly while our head teacher Mrs Heart started crying while she talked about how we were a fantastic year group and that we will always be remembered. But I didn't hear the rest because all of my attention was focussed on the boy across the aisle from me. I'd never seen him before but I couldn't look away, when I finally did, I felt his eyes on me. I'm pretty sure I was blushing but I didn't care because I would most probably never see him again. So I turned my attention back to Mrs Heart.
She was just announcing the first award: 'this young girl worked very hard and is one of the best students we have ever had.' Then she said my name. I went onto the stage and collected my award while the rest of the audience clapped politely. Lauren won the music award and Eric won the art award. They were extremely talented where I just wasn't. After the last award was given the final bell rang and everyone cheered. We were all finally out of high school and free to spend the summer how we wished.
I looked around for that boy again but he had disappeared. My two friends and I started home. Another great thing about the three of us was we all lived together, or next to each other I should say. Eric's house was in-between mine and Laurens, so we always meet up and did our homework, or just to watch movies there. The house in my other side was up for sale and I always wondered who might move in next to a weirdo like me. But today instead of a 'For Sale' sign in the garden next door, there was a 'Sold' sign. Someone had finally moved in. The house had been for sale for three months now and I never thought someone would move in. I said goodbye to my best friends and went inside.
That evening I was upstairs doing some research for a project that myself, Eric and Lauren were doing for a job interview we had for a social research company. I was almost done when my mum called me down.
"Thea, come and meet our new neighbours."
So I logged off of my computer, tidied my desk of my open textbooks and sheets of paper full of research, closed my bedroom door and headed downstairs. I looked in the front room: Empty. I walked down the hall and into the kitchen: Also empty. Then I heard my mum talking out in the back garden. I walked out of the door and my new neighbours turned round to look at me. I stopped. The mystery boy from the assembly was standing in front of me.
A/N : so here's the first official chapter, what do you guys think of the mystery boy turning up a Thea's? If you have any ideas for the future of this story please let me know. Oh and please review. Please?
