The Locket, Chapter One

A Story by MadiHunter

If you like it let me know so I can put the next chapter on.

The first dream

   Standing in the middle of a field filed with colourful flowers. Reds, Blues, Yellows, Pinks, and Greens. Dancing butterflies with bight patrons flutter throughout the field. The golden sun sets, the sky becomes black as caracole. Sparkly stars cover the night sky. Butterflies fly home as fire flies come out to take their place in tune with the wind.

   “Lilly?” I looked up from my note book to see a young lady no older then 25, with soft brown eyes and long brown hair to match, she is Miss. Slam (her name doesn’t match her very well) my L.A teacher. “Yeah?” I asked. “Go to lunch the bell rang five minutes ago.” She said in a sing-song kind of voice.

    As I walked to my locker I saw a guy leaning against it. He was a good looking guy maybe about 6 feet tall. With longish black hair that covered is ears, wearing a black T-shirt and black jeans too. Wait a minute he’s the new kid in my friend’s class. She told me that he doesn’t talk lots (or pay attention for that matter), any way he was still blocking my locker.
“Can you move please. Your blocking my locker.” I asked him. He looked up at me with beautiful deep blue eyes.
“Maybe, it depends.” He said.
“On what?” I replied.
“On you, Lilly.” Wow he said my name, wait,
“How do you know my name? And me, why me?” I asked yet another question.
“Let me think about that.” Why is he talking to me? I don’t even know his name.
“I can’t tell you that. . . Well not yet anyway.” He gave me a cocky smile. That really reminded me of that Stark kind in the House of Night books (he was hiding something I just know it).
“Well fine your not going to tell me, at least can you move so I can get to my locker?”
   He gave me another cocky smile then walked down the hall. Not to be mean but he’s wired. Suddenly I had a feeling that I was being watched (wired). The rest of the day was pretty boring other then that stupid math test that I know I failed (how do you even study for math anyway?) I walked home as always it was a really nice day out.

   I got home and went down stairs to my room. My room is small but I still love it. My walls are light blue with dark blue curtains covering my windows that you could see my flower garden outside, on the far wall is my desk and beside that is my closet with my every few clothing that I have and in the middle of my room is my bed with a baby blue blanket with my favorite stuffy of a black wolf with white on it’s front paws and one of it’s eyes are a sky blue and the other is a dark brown and one ear is flopped over. I named him Jasper. I don’t remember were I got him but I just love the old thing, I think I got him when is was three (I think).

   I looked at the clock on my desk, it was almost 5pm, my mom should be home soon. I ran up the stairs and sat on the couch and turned on the T.V and flipped to MMTOP10 to listen to music. The door opened and my mom walked in, she is a little shorter then me she has short dark red hair that I bet you could see from space, and her eyes are kind of honey colour. She looks nothing like me or I look nothing like her.

   I have a nicer look then she does and my hair is really long and blond and my eyes are bright green (I would say that I look like my dad but I never meet him and mom doesn‘t keep and photos of him- sigh). “Hi, how was school today?” she asked me like she always does. “Alright, I didn’t really do lots today. Oh and I think I failed my math test, just to let you know.” I turned off the T.V and walked to the dinning room with her. “So are you hungry, Lilly?” She asked me. “Not really, I have a book report and I want to start reading my book. You?”. “Not really but I think I will just have an apple, then I got to ready finish my paperwork for work tomorrow.”

   My mom is a Doctor, she loves her job. I don’t really like that she is working their, the place scares me. But every time I tell her to get a new job she just says ‘I love my job, it makes me feel good when I save someone’s life.’” She grabbed an apple than smiled at me then walked into her office.

    When I got to my room I went to my desk to grab my book for my book report. I am going to do my book report on my favorite book ever Husky with a heart by Ban M. Baglio from the Animal Arc series. I sat down on my bed and started reading it, again. Mandy Hope charged downstairs in the dark. In the hall, the phone jangled loudly, shattering the silence of the night. Upstairs, a door opened and Mandy realized her mom and dad have woken up, too…

   When I got to school my friend ran up to me, her and I are the same size. She has long black hair and light brown eyes. “Hey Lilly.” She said once she was beside me. “Hey Lassie.” Her full name is Annalise but she doesn’t really like her name.
“So what’s up?” I asked her.
“Oh nothing really. Guess what?”
“What?” I really hope she’s not moving she is my only friend at this school.
“There is a dance this Friday! We should go dress shopping today after school!”
“Oh a dance, cool.” that’s way better.
“Yup and it’s girls choose too so we get to pick our dates! And that means I can ask out Tyler!” Tyler McClearen is Lassie’s crush since like for ever. She always wanted to go out with him.
“Cool.”
“I know right. So after school we are going dress shopping. Is that alright with you?” She asked me.
“Oh yeah, sounds great. I’ll meet you at the dress store downtown then.”
“Great, see you their.” She said as she was walking to her first class.
   I went to my first class which has to be math, great. I sat down in my normal spot in the front closest to the windows. Wishing I didn’t fail that test. Mr. Chris (he is really cute by the way. But not that I would like do it with him, his a teacher, gross) handed me my test, and guess what I didn‘t fail I got 67% which is really good. After school I walked home, (alone) again.

    I went down to my room and put my backpack on my bed and grabbed my purse and walked out the door.

   Downtown was busy as always. I got to the dress store and saw lassie smiling out side the store. I wonder if she asked Tyler yet?

   “You seem happy.” I told her.
“Oh yeah, so I asked Tyler and he said that he was hoping that I would ask him!” Every one in my school knows that Tyler likes Lassie but Lassie doesn‘t know that.
“Ready to pick our dresses now?” I asked her.
“For sure, after you.” She said as she was opening the door to the dress store.

   The store was simple but it was nice. Soft music played in the background.
   “Oh look they got new dresses.” One thing I will never under stand Lassie and her love of girly stuff. “What do you think of this one?” She held up a light pink strapless dress with pink beads, It really is pretty.
“Try it one.” I told her. She looked down at the dress and smiled then walked the change rooms.

   As I was looking at some dresses, I saw something move in the corner of my eye. I tuned and saw the new kid standing at the window staring at me like I was the newest animal at the zoo.

   “So what do you think?” I turned to find Lassie wearing the pink dress.
“Looks good, I like it on you.” I told her. It does really look good on her.
“I know, right? I think I will buy it. Did you find anything yet?” I looked down at the dress rack then back at her.
“Nope.”
“Why don’t you make your dress? Your really good at that.” Then she walked back to the change rooms. I looked back at the window and he was gone.

   When she came back out she went to the cashier.
“Hey Lilly, here are the keys go wait at my car. I’ll be there soon.” I nodded and took her keys and walked to the parking lot. And right away I saw her bright red convertible, she got it for her 16th birthday a couple mouths ago. This weekend is my 16th birthday, and it happens to land on the day of the dance, fun.

   I unlocked the car and sat in the passenger side. I grabbed the sun vizier so I could fix my hair in the mirror, and guess who I saw walking towards me.

   “Hello.” A deep but sexy voice comes up beside me, I looked up and saw black hair kind of covering deep blue eyes (that are really, really pretty).
“Hi.” I answered.
“I am sorry I never told you my name yesterday.” He looked down then back at me.
“So what is your name?”
“Oh yeah I guess you would like to know. Uh. . .my name is Zac.”
    Finally I know his name (not that I care or anything).
“I saw you in the dress store. Did you buy a dress for the dance?” He said with a cocky smile.
“Why do you care?”
“Just wondering.” Then he leaded closer to me.
“So did you?”
“No I was thinking of making my dress.”
“That’s cool. So do you want to go to the dance with me?” I turned and saw that Lassie was coming.
“I don’t really know you, and it’s girls chose.”
“Right.”
“Oh hi Zac” I love that Lassie is always there when I need her. She got in the car and I handed her the keys, the car started up with a light purring sound. Zac put something in my hand and said
“Here.” Then walked away, just like that.
“What was that about?” Lassie asked.
“I don’t know.”
“What did he give you?” I looked down and saw a crumpled piece of paper that said:

915- 0330
Call me sometime
-Zac

“I think it’s his phone number.”
“OMG! That’s great! He’s so hot. Did he ask you out too?” How is this great?
“Uh no. He asked me to the dance. But I told him that I don’t really know him and it’s girls get to chose.” Now that I think about it I sounded really stupid.
“Well you should get to know him then.” She said with a small laugh. And then her cell phone started sing the tune Take it of by Ke$ha.
“Hang on I got to take this.” She said as she grabbed her cell.
“Hi?… OMG, no way… That’s so cool!… Alright see you in a few. Bye!” She closed her cell and looked at me with a great big grin on her face.
“I have a date tonight with Tyler, do you mind if I drop you at home now?”
“Not at all.”
   She drove the car out of the parking lot and drove towards my house. The whole way there she was humming. And then came my home with a great big willow bush in the front.
“Thanks for driving me home. Again.”
“Hey, no problem see you tomorrow. Wait do we have a test tomorrow?” We aren’t in the same class but all the teachers have tests on the same day.
“No that’s next Wednesday.”
“Oh that’s even better. Bye.”
“Bye.” I got out of the car and she drove away. I walked towards my house. After dinner I went down stairs to find some fabric for my dress. I worked on my dress a little then went to bed. I am so tired, I fell asleep right away.

   That night I was dreaming that I was a fairy with a really pretty dress on. The dress was green with light blue flowers on it. And my wings were a dark blue with light pink in it. And Jasper my stuffy was a real wolf (dire wolf that is) an could talk. And that’s not all, Zac was their too. He was a fairy too. He had black pants but he didn’t have a shirt on, he had abs, so I guess it was okay. His wings were black with a little bit of red on the tips of them. And on his belt was a knife. But he was always at the back of the room. And there was always other fairies around me like I was the fairy princess.

   I was walking to my last class of the day, gym. Gym is the only class that Lassie and I have together and that means Zac is also in my gym class too, great.
   After I got changed I went to sit by Lassie. As Mr. Johnston was telling us what we are going to do today Lassie whispered in my ear
“Did you call him yet?” I am guessing she was talking about Zac.
“No.” I whispered back. She opened her mouth to tell me I should but we got interrupted my Mr. Johnston.
“Okay class, today we are going to go in a group of fours and play some badminton. No go!”
Mr. Johnston said. Lassie and are always in a group that and we aren’t the most popular kids ever (well she is, not me). And Mr. Johnston almost always makes other people go with us, and today he made Tyler and Zac our partners. Uh hell.
