Chapter 1
The Sun made its way through a split in the curtains, bringing light to the bedroom shrouded in darkness. A young man at the age of seventeen, lay sleeping peacefully, only to be woken up by the little glimmer of light.
“Xander, time to wake up! You don’t want to miss your last day of school do ya?” Yelled the boys’ mother. He pulled the covers over his head, and tried to continue sleeping, but his mom kept yelling. He didn’t bother to open the curtains any wider, and just got dressed.
Xander walked down the stairs that led to the kitchen. He rubbed his eyes and let out a yawn; his mother turned off the sink and dried her hands “Ah, so he lives!” She laughed at herself “You better get a move on before you’re late.” She grabbed his bag off the chair and tossed it to him, “Don’t forget that right after school you have training” Everyday she reminds him, even though he’s been going for ten years already. She kissed him on the forehead and said goodbye.
As Xander walked toward the door he looked in the living room, always hoping that his dad’s death was a nightmare, but it wasn’t, it really happened. He and his father were so close, they did everything together. It’s been three years, but it’s still so hard to get over. Xander opened the door, he heard his brother and sister come running toward him and he quickly moved out of the way.
His brother, Max, who was only one year younger then him, and his sister, Jessica, who was the youngest at fourteen. He being the oldest always has to watch after them, he never has time to do anything he wants to. They are old enough, but his parents still make him watch them.
They walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus to come and pick them up. “Xander, aren’t you excited!?!?!” Jessica tugged on his arm, and he just pulled his arm away and ignored her “Jessica, you’re so immature!” she shoved Max “No I’m not!”. They fight over the stupidest things, and this is one of them.
The bus finally pulled up and the three got on. The bus was near empty, most kids just skip the last day. He made his way to the back and sat down by himself. He leaned his head against the window and stared out at the trees and houses as they went by. He looked in the seat that was next to him, and saw a girl sitting there. She had just come to their school about a month ago. She was staring at him, but he just ignored her and continued to look out the window.
The bus stopped again at someone’s house. A girl got on the bus and sat down next to him and leaned up against him “Hey baby, something wrong?” He just shook his head “Don’t worry, it’s the last day of school, we haven’t spent any time together, but we are gonna during summer right?” He just shook his head yes. She moved off him and began talking to someone in front of them.
The bus suddenly stopped and everyone jerked forward into the seat. Some kid yelled cuz he wacked his head off the window due to that. Everyone stood up to see what was wrong, but there wasn’t anything. All the kids groaned and some kid yelled “Hurry up; I want to get to school to get it over with!”
They finally made it to school; lots of kids were crowded outside, all making their way into the school. The bus doors opened and everyone jumped out of their seats to hurry and get off. Xander though, just got up and made his way, not rushing to get off. He made his way to his locker and shoved his bag in and grabbed his books for Math class. As he closed his locker, his best friend Terry came up and smacked him on the back, “YO DUDE, YOU EXCITED THAT TODAYS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR GOOD!??!!?” Xander dropped his books when he got hit and just picked them up and didn’t say a word “Hey man, what’s wrong? Why have you been like this the past two weeks? C’mon you can tell me.” Xander began walking towards the Math room “It’s…nothing….don’t worry about it.” Terry stopped in his tracks and just stood there watching Xander walk away “O-ok man…whatever, see ya during lunch! Oh ya, also sit next to me at that assembly!”
