Bonding, Ch.1

Emma was hurt..for a year, at least. She meets Abbey, a stereotypical girl, it seems. Let's see if they can be friends, shall we?

The two girls sat at the table, waiting for the Doctor to return. Emma sipped her coke quietly, the straw between her fingers.
"So," Abbey began, tapping her fork anxiously on the side of her bowl.
Emma barely looked up from the corner of the table she had been picking carelessly at. "Hmm?"
"How'd you and the Doctor meet, exactly?" Abbey kept glancing nervously from her bowl to the other girl, unsure what the other's reaction would be.
"Why? Jealous?" Emma smirked, watching Abbey blush and look at her lap.
"No."
"Then why do you care?" Emma locked her fingers together, and rested her chin on top of them, staring intently at the other girl, her eyes narrowed in a tired, bored expression.
"Just 'cuz." She looked up at the waiter that came to the table and traded bowls with him. She was surprised when Emma didn't receive anything, even though she had been there longer. "Aren't you gonna eat?"
"Why should I? I'm supposed to be dead anyways."
Abbey nearly choked on her water, her eyes going wide. "What?"
"you heard me." she sat back, her arms behind her head and her legs crossed.

A good opening and "I'm supposed to be dead anyways" is a good hook to create curiosity in the reader to read on.

An interesting excerpt. Difficult to judge on how good the whole story idea is; but this particular bit at least kept my attention.

Wow! I have no idea what's going on here and that is so cool. I love little parts of larger stories like this that leave me wondering what's going on.

Thanks. Sometimes it seems I can only write the little parts. Thanks for the motivation.
