THE POWER WITHIN (CHAPTER
I)
I was walking to the classroom. My heart was thumping as fast
as it could. All l could hear was the clicks of my shoes. Gulping hard and
taking a deep breath, I walked in and as soon as I walked in, I could hear
mutters from 2 girls in the class. They seemed popular, perfect hair, up to
date fashion with clear beautiful faces but with a heart of a devil. “Ew, those
shoes are so last year.” The one with the blonde hair whispered high enough for
the class to hear. “And a white top? Seriously, it should be blue. Doesn't go
with those jeans at all.” The other girl next to her said. “Now quiet down
girls and boys, this is a new student. Her name’s Kristen, please take a seat
over here.” Said my new teacher Mr. Thompson pointing towards the front to the
right of the class. I took a seat trying to ignore the words people were saying
although I could hear them very clearly.
The bell rang and we were all dismissed from class. I pulled
my bag to my shoulder and walked out with a big sigh. As soon as l walked out
the door, A hand was put on my shoulder and I got twisted around and by the
time I looked at who it was, I couldn't help but stare. The green eyes
shimmered like a crystal stone, shiny hair, just above his shoulder, lips so
soft and light with clear skin but I can’t talk to him, I can’t. I don’t want
to harm him...”Are you with me? Hello? I just wanted to apologize for the girls behavior towards you.” and then I finally realized he was talking to me
“oh..uh sorry” then he took his hand off my shoulder and offered me his hand to
shake “The names Callum” I looked at him and just walked away. I didn't look
back, I just kept walking as fast as I could. “What did I do wrong?” I could
hear him say while I was walking away into the distance and I could hear the
voice of the girl with the blonde hair say “Don’t worry baby, what do you want
from her anyway? Let’s go sweetie”.
Moments later I sat down on the green grass alone with my
hands wrapped around my knees. “Why does this have to happen to me?” I muttered
to myself. “why does what happen to you?” I looked back and saw Callum behind
me. “Look. Stay away from me, I’m warning you.” I shot at him while I stood up
“I haven’t done anything” he said “I know you haven’t...it’s too complicated,
you wouldn't understand” then the girl with the blonde hair came “Just a moment
Brenda!” she gave him a weird and surprised look and said “I’ll be waiting for
you at the benches sweetie.” He rolled his eyes towards me and said “All I
wanted to do is apologize And I couldn't bare staying close to someone so
handsome and I just walked away and said in a quiet tone “I’m sorry.” And he
didn’t follow me. I could almost feel him starring at me.
It was time to go home and it started raining really badly
and within seconds I was really wet. I couldn't walk in this rain and I
couldn’t see where I was going until a car stopped next to me. Callum got out
the car “Let me give you a drive home” I looked down and said “No, I’m fine”
then he shot back at me “Look, I don’t want to get wet, please just get in.” He
said while opening his car door. I sighed and got in. He was driving and he
finally spoke “So, tell me a bit about yourself, Kristen” I looked up “hhh...
there isn't much you need to know.” He looked at me raising an eyebrow “Look,
no need to be moody,” I just looked towards the window and put my head on the
cold glass window. “Do you live with your parents?” Callum asked me. “No, my
parents died. And don’t ask me how. And I live with my uncle.” He looked at me
like he should’ve never asked me the question. “I’m so sorry” then I looked up
and told him “Stop the car please. I live over there.” I said pointing opposite
me were there was a huge metal black gate. He had a questioning look “There?”
and I looked at him and said “Yes there. And don’t you dare come near there.”
