Chapter 2: My New Life
OK, I have to admit that our new house was pretty big. My room was at least 2 times as big as the average person my age's room. It had blue, brown, and black walls, and a shiny wooden fan attached to the ceiling. When we got to our new home, it was Thursday. At 3:00 in the morning! When I got the chance to sleep in my queen-sized bed, I couldn't sleep anyway. Because in about 4 hours, I was going to a new school.
At 7:00, which is when I woke up, my alarm didn't go off! I was so mad, a threw my clothes on, slipped into my shoes, pulled on my jacket, grabbed my backpack, ate a piece of toast, and ran out the door in, like, 10 seconds! I was so quick, I didn't even get to say goodbye to my family. Oh well.
On the way to school, I prayed that I would make a friend. Or friends. I didn't want to be the only one without a buddy. The outsider. The outcast. Trust me, I've been that person before. It didn't turn out very well.
I ran alongside the woods by the school. It wasn't very far between the school and my house. I was, for once, glad for that. Maybe I'd find someone to walk with me! But now, I'd have to focus on getting to school as fast as I could.
Suddenly, a hand with sickly brown fur and 6 inch long claws came out a tree right in front of me. I screamed and started to faint. I came back into focus when frostbite-cold water came shooting into my eyes. I shot my hands out in front of me to stop the flow. As soon as the water stopped, I blinked rapidly and looked for my enemy.
There were two boys with water guns dashing towards the school, looking to see if I had spotted them. Well I did all right! A went chasing after them, then came to an abrupt stop when I remembered the clawed hand, more like paw. I turned around to see the thing had slunk back into the woods.
