I know, not the best title but this is a story I thought of today when I was super bored and it took almost forever to finish the first chapter. XD
I'm just about to post this in FFnet since I'm ADJL-Freakazoid there and I haven't updated in like ever...
Whew, so, the story is about a girl named Catherine that moves to NYC and meets Jake and his friends. Her family move in to a house just next door to Jake's and Cat has these dragon powers that she's told NOBODY about. And when Jake, his friends, and his family find out, so does a mysterious "person" that threatens Catherine with the past...
What happened in the past? What were everyone's reaction to Cat's dragon powers? How does Cat meet Jake? It's all here! You just have to read on to find out. Bwahahaha, and what's this... does Cat have another secret to keep? Bwahaha, and I know exactly what it is! read on and you'll find out too. ;D
Anywayz, read and enjoy the first chapter. It's long, but not nearly as interesting as other chapters might be.
Sooooo... read it then tell me whatcha think.
Chapter 1 - Meeting Someone New
“Aw man, I’m going to be late!” Jake yelled as he ran down the hallways of Millard Fillmore Middle School. It was three minutes until the bell was about to ring and he was almost late!
But considering his total clumsiness at that time, he didn’t pay attention and ran into a girl about the same size as him. Both of them fell to the floor.
“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry…” Jake apologized, picking up his things.
“It’s okay.” The girl said, pulling her long, light brown hair back. She picked up her books along with Jake, who was helping her. She nodded sweetly and smiled.
“So, I haven’t seen you around before… What’s your name?” Jake asked in total curiosity after the girl had settled.
“My name’s Catherine. And I’m new here. What about you?” She asked, replying.
“Ah, nice. The name’s Jake Long. Uh, you can call me Jake… for short…” He replied.
“Ah, okay.” Catherine said, shaking her head. She then realized that Jake might be little more of help to her around the school…
“Sooo, Jake… What class do you go to first?” She asked.
“Oh, I go to mythology first… Why?” He replied, asking.
“Curious… And because I need to know if you’re in any of my classes…” She said. Catherine peeped at her schedule and saw that she was having mythology first too…
“And wow, ironic… I have it first too.” She said, then glancing at her schedule again. “And it’s with Professor Rotwood…” She read.
“Rotwood? Him? Hah, trust me on this; he’s no good teacher…” Jake said.
Catherine giggled.
“I see…” She said with a smile.
The two then forgot that the bell was about to ring.
“Oh no!” They both yelled in unison.
“We better get to class!” Catherine exclaimed.
“Heard that!” Jake agreed.
The two considered this and started running as fast as their two legs could take them to mythology class.
Luckily, the two made it just in time and Rotwood wasn’t there yet.
“Whew, just in time.” Jake said, catching his breath.
In a weird sight, Catherine didn’t look tired of running at all. She wasn’t panting, breathing heavily, or anything. She was just looking like she was relaxed.
It was very awkward but Jake didn’t seem to notice.
“Jake, where’ve you been?” Trixie asked, glancing at him and the so-called girl next to him.
“And who’s she?” Spud added, pointing to Catherine.
“Have I seen you before?” Kellen asked from behind the two.
“Trixie, Spud, Kellen, this is Catherine. She’s new.” Jake replied, pointing to her. He then turned to Catherine.
“Catherine, these are my best friends, Trixie, Spud, and Kellen.” He said, pointing the three of them one at a time.
“Nice to meet you.” Catherine said, smiling sweetly.
“Yeah, it’s nice to meet you too, cutie…” Spud said, staring at her like a daydreamer.
Catherine gave an awkward stare at the seemingly love sick Spud. Trixie gave him a hard nudge.
“Heh, so it’s nice to meet you too, Catherine.” Trixie said, also trying to point out to Spud that her name wasn’t cutie…
The four then introduced each other and the bell rang after this. The class then grew quiet.
There in the front, stood Professor Rotwood with a pink slip from the principal.
“Catherine Simmons, are you here?” He asked, reading the name.
Catherine stood up and came up to Professor Rotwood.
“Ah, I see you’re a new student here.” He said, adding her name to the list.
Catherine nodded shyly, taking a quick glance at Jake, then turned back to Professor Rotwood.
“Thank you, you may take your seat.” He said, giving her a straight face.
Catherine took another nod and walked back to her seat, which was next to Jake’s.
She sat down and snagged a pencil from her backpack. It looked really neat inside, considering she was really organized.
“So, class, now we shall review about the topic of dragons…” Professor Rotwood said.
Catherine snickered silently.
“Dragons? How does he know that?” She asked, mumbling.
“What was that?” Jake asked. He had not heard her.
“Oh, nothing…” She shot up.
“Okay.” Jake said, turning his head back to the front of the class, looking totally bored.
“Students, turn your textbooks to page three hundred seventy five.” He instructed.
Catherine opened the book and out came the page that was told to turn to with no other pages having to be turned. Jake stared in amazement.
“How did you do that?” He asked.
“Uh, it was… already creased?” She lied, making an excuse.
“Uh, alright…” He said, turning to multiple pages until he reached the correct one.
Catherine took a glance at the page and immediately found something that just wasn’t right.
“Hey, this isn’t true about dragons…” She whispered, not thinking.
“Uh, how do you know?” Jake asked.
“I mean… what is all this nonsense about? It doesn’t sound a single bit factual.” Catherine said, trying to sound smart by covering about what she had said earlier.
“Erh… I don’t know…” Jake said.
“But really, how would I know anything about dragons? I’m not like… a super genius or something that knows anything about them!” She said, sounding a bit tense.
“As I was saying, we look on the topic about a dragon’s abilities to shapeshift from human to dragon.” Professor Rotwood said.
“Um, well, that’s… true…” Catherine whispered.
“Uh, are you sure you really don’t know anything about dragons?” Jake asked, considering about Catherine’s constant mumbling.
“Yeah, totally sure.” She replied, blushing a bit.
Catherine, luckily, controlled herself and said nothing for the rest of the period until the bell rang.
“Okay kids, remember what I said, and study for Friday’s test.” He said as the students rushed out the door.
By then, two more periods had passed by and Catherine, along with Jake, Trixie, Spud and Kellen, were getting ready for lunchtime.
“So, where did you come from before you moved her in NYC?” Jake asked.
“Oh, I came from Topeka, Kansas.” Catherine replied smiling.
“Cool, that must’ve been far.” Jake said, grabbing a tray.
Catherine nodded, grabbing a tray as well.
“Didn’t you say that you were a straight a student back then?” Spud asked.
“Yup, and still am.” She replied proudly.
“So, that makes you smart?” Spud asked in confusion.
“Duh.” Kellen said.
“Oh…” Spud realized.
The five then found an empty table and sat down.
“Catherine, what do you have next?” Jake asked.
Catherine peeped at her schedule.
“Um, Honor’s Algebra…” She replied. (A/N: I’m going to take that next year if I excel my year in the eighth grade… XD)
“Dang, are you seriously that smart?” Spud asked.
“Why else is it called Honor’s Algebra?” Trixie said.
“Wow, I have Biology next.” Jake said.
“Me too.” Kellen added.
“Of course, we have the same class?” Jake said.
“Uh yeah…” Kellen nodded.
After an hour of socializing at lunchtime, the bell rang and the five went off to their separate ways.
Catherine went to Honor’s Algebra class, Jake and Kellen went to bio, Trixie went to World History, and Spud went to Health. (A/N: These subjects are just random… So, like, yeah…)
After school was finally over, the students went out with total happiness.
“Hey, Jake, are you ready to hit the skate park today?” Trixie asked.
“Yeah, totally.” Jake replied, grabbing his helmet and skateboard.
“I’m there too.” Kellen said.
“Mm hmm, count me in!” Spud said.
Catherine blinked curiously like she was a total outcast. Jake noticed and turned to her.
“Catherine, do you want to go?” He asked.
“Well, I kinda have to uh, be somewhere.” She said, curling her hair with her finger.
“Okay…” Jake said.
“Sorry.” Catherine said, trying not to sound like she wasn’t interested.
“Hey, hey, it’s alright. So, how about I see you at school tomorrow?” He asked.
This made Catherine smile.
“Yeah, of course!” She grinned seemingly as happily as ever.
“See you then.” Jake said, waving goodbye.
Catherine kept smiling. She couldn’t believe that the first boy she ever met became an instant friend to her.
Happy, she walked home. Okay, she roller bladed home, but yeah…
Catherine put on her roller blades and headed to her new house.
When she got there, she took off her blades and helmet and took a knock on the front door of her house.
As Catherine waited for someone in her house to open the door, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
Was that Jake knocking on the door on the house just next door???
Ironic… I just saw him at school. Catherine thought.
“Hi Cat!” greeted a sweet voice of nine-year-old girl.
“Hi Amanda.” Catherine greeted back to her little sister.
Catherine took a step inside and saw that the house was still filled with boxes.
Some were labeled “Cat’s room”, “Amanda’s toys”, and other miscellaneous labels.
“Wow, mom, need some help there?” Catherine asked, putting down her backpack, blades, and helmet and glancing at her mom.
“Why, hi there, Cat.” Her mom greeted, setting up their cabinet filled with fine china.
“Hi mom. Need some help?” Cat greeted, asking.
“Oh, no thanks. All I want you to do now is to bring that box over there with your things in your new room.” replied her mom.
“Alrighty. Can I choose my room?” Cat said, asking.
“Of course! Just don’t choose the master’s bedroom. That’s for your father and I.” She instructed.
“Thanks mom!” Cat said, immediately rushing upstairs with a big box and her backpack, blades, and helmet still on top of it. She showed no signs of struggling on how heavy the weight of those items were.
“Oh, one at a time, Cat, you might drop it and break something.” Her mom said, watching Catherine go upstairs with a lot of items.’
“It’s okay, mom, I can handle it.” Cat said, browsing through the sets of rooms along the bright hallway.
She chose a room that was just near the master’s bedroom and set down her things. Cat opened the box of items and got to work on decorating and personalizing her room.
It only took several minutes for her. She could still remember what her room looked like back when she lived in Kansas.
‘We might’ve gotten new things, but I could still remember where everything was.’ Catherine thought, staring at her newly decorated room.
All that was missing in her room was her bed and her clothes. Cat went downstairs to carry those things.
Without any struggle or need of assistance from anybody, Catherine managed to get those things up to her room. She plopped her bed in the middle of her room, laid back on the wall with her Green Day, Simple Plan, and My Chemical Romance posters.
Plopped in the inside of Cat’s closet was a giant Jesse McCartney poster and a few other ones filled with pictures from magazines put as one giant collage of Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Brown, Ryan Cabrera, Bow Wow, Omarion, and even Mariah Carey.
Catherine was a real music fan when it came to artists and bands. And she was a total artist. She even pinned some of her recent drawings of pictures and portrait views around her room. Decorating was a real fun part in moving in to NYC to Cat.
Her first day was a blast too. She couldn’t help but think about Jake… I mean, they were one house away from each other, so how can she not think about that?
Hours had passed and Cat had finished organizing and personalizing her room, she peeped outside the window of her room and saw from the dark blue, starry sky was what seemed like a window that lead to Jake’s room. Cat took a closer look and peeped inside.
There, she saw four people; Jake, Trixie, Spud, and Kellen, all four of the people that she made immediate friends with.
She gazed at the four playing a video game. Although she couldn’t really tell what game they were playing, she obviously knew that they were playing something that involved football in it.
Cat giggled as the four cheered in total happiness. It was obvious that they won the game in the look of their determined, proud faces. She thought about what would it would be like if she were with the four.
After a moment of daydreaming, Cat stuck her attention out of the window and stared at her ceiling.
You’d think her ceiling was empty and white like every other’s, right? WRONG! She had a mobile made out of hangers dangling from the top of her ceiling that was painted and decorated with stickers, construction paper, yarn, and even newspaper articles and magazine pics of celebrities.
Also placed on her ceiling were glow-in-the-dark stickers of planets and a bunch of kitten and puppy stickers.
You wouldn’t believe your eyes when you lie on her bed and stare at her ceiling. It was just plain old amazing and it was all decorated!
Tired, Catherine felt like going to sleep. She didn’t mind the tad bit of mess she didn’t clean yet and totally forgot something… It was only six o’ clock in the evening… She hadn’t even had dinner yet.
Rushing downstairs, Cat surrounded with her entire family was at one giant dinner table.
Catherine’s family was huge!
Besides her in the family was her mother (Helen), her father (Brian), her nine-year-old sister Amanda, her seven-year-old sister Jasmine, her five-year-old brother Kevin (A/N: I always use that name cuz it’s so cool for some reason… Don’t blame me…), and her eleven-month-old brother Christian.
As all of them settled on one table, they chatted and ate and stuff then it was bedtime at eight o’ clock.
It was a strict curfew at their household. Even on the weekends, it was only midnight as their maximum time to stay up.
When Catherine had gotten ready for bed that night and gotten in comfy pajamas and cleaned up her room completely, she sighed in relief and turned off the light to her room and lied in bed.
But before Cat closed her eyes, she took a quick peep out the window and glanced at the room that Jake was in which was only occupied by him and his little sister, Haley (who Cat never knew about yet).
Gazing for a few minutes, she got too lost in her thoughts that her mom came into her room.
“Cat, is there something wrong?” She asked.
“No, just looking outside for a while.” Catherine replied.
“Okay, good night.” Her mom said, kissing her goodnight.
Cat gave her mom a quick hug and hopped into bed.
After only several minutes, Catherine was fast asleep.
