Chapter 1
Lyric Summers:
“Ow!” I’d tripped on air as usual, like the klutz I am, and fell face flat onto the ground.
Ugh, how embarrassing. I stood up and dusted myself off, then bent down to gather my school supplies. I was immediately startled, however, when I noticed that someone else was helping.
I nervously looked up to see who it was. It was a girl about my age, give or take a year. Tan-skinned, brown eyes that sparkled in the sunlight, and glasses that seemed to highlight the beauty of her eyes.
She looked up and nervously smiled. “Hi. I’m Kaitlynn. You’re Lyric, right?”
I brushed a stray lock of my blonde hair behind my ear. “Yeah.”
She giggled. “You don’t talk much, do you?”
I nodded. “Don’t really have much to say. Never really had anyone to talk to growing up.”
“Well, there’s always me!” She smiled, but not nervously this time. More like a “You’re cool, I want to be friends with you!” smile.
Which is weird, because no one’s ever wanted to be my friend, and yet here she was, standing in front of me, flashing me that smile.
“So what do you say? Wanna be friends?” she asked.
So she finally asks it. I hope I’m not imagining things… “Sure.”
