The space between

Hi everyone! This is my first chapter of the book I’m trying to make. It’s my first time ever writing a story to Inkitt, and I hope I can write something u will like.

Also another thing before I start. I’m a girl from Denmark, who loves to write in English, but I can make a couple mistakes on that account, and for that, I will say sry now;)

Another thing is that I love to make people have these ‘Wait?’ Moments. So while reading you’ll maybe find some familiar moments from movies. It’s not totally copied of course, but u will probably recognize them.

I hope you like what I’m writing. I’m really just writing what appears in my head:)

I looked at the window. The rain dripped down the car, and made small patterns of water drops. I felt the cold wind through the glass. Like a minty breath.

“Aren’t u excited?” My mom asked, breaking my thoughts.

I ignore her. I’m not in the mood for talking right now. If she thinks she can force me to go to a stupid school, bc she thinks I’ll get a “new start”, and then just talk to me like nothing happened, she’s very much wrong. Normally u would of course have seen the school before u start, but this was kind of an emergency plan.

I look at her trough the car mirror, and give her a bitchy look.

“Seriously?” She says.

I look back out the window. The wind is pushing the big trees, back and forth. Small leafs are falling to the ground, and landing on the wet surface of the side of the road. And then I see it. A big building, appears at my sight. It looks old, with green plants all over the outside. It’s still kinda cool though.

I grab my bags from the car, and walk towards the entrance. It’s not what I imagined at all. I just imagined a basic school, with red bricks and black roof. There’s trees everywhere around the school, and it makes it kinda mysterious. I must admit, this does look kinda exciting. But that doesn’t mean I’m okay with the fact that my mom is making me stay here, against my own will. The only reason I’m not running away right now is bc, I just wanna get away from home right now. School was just not what I imagined to be my escape plan.

When I get inside, a brown haired girl walks towards me. She smiles at me.

“Hi! U must be Allison Winter am I right?” She says.

“Yup. That’s me” I say, trying to put a little smile on my face. I don’t want to seem rude, when she’s trying to be nice to me. And since I’m probably gonna stay here for a while, I can at least try to make a good first impression.

“I’m Bella” she says, and pulls her hand up. I shake her hand politely, and give it a little squeeze.

“I’m a student here at Bradville, and im your new roommate! I’m also the one who is going to show u around” she says excited.

I give her a little smile. I’m actually happy about my roommate, she seems really nice.

“Hi Bella! I’m Ali’s mom, nice to meet u!” Says the voice behind me.

My mom shakes her hand.

“Are u staying for the show around?” Bella asks my mom. I cross my fingers behind my back. In hope that she has something to do.

“No I really have to get going, but if u need anything or forgot something just give me a call okay Ali?” She smiles at me. I simply nod at her, and put my focuse back on Bella.

“Okay then follow me!” Bella says. I smile at her, and follow.

“So I think it’s a good idea if we start with our room, so that u can put your bags in there” she says.

“Sounds good to me” I say.

She politely grabs one of my bags. I look confused at her but she just smiles at me and puts the bag over her shoulder. She then begins to walk up the stairs, and I just follow her like a baby duckling. When we get up the stairs there’s a small room with sofas, and a tv. Three students was already sitting there. They all looked at me, and whispered. Oh don’t we just love being the new girl. We then got to a little hall, with a lot of doors. Bella pointed at the last door on the left, and walked in. The room was small. Two beds on each side of the room, and a long desk in the middle. Two chairs, and a dresser at the door.

“So this is our room, hope u like it” Bella says. I smile at her in response, and put my bags on the empty bed.

“So Ali, is it okay if I call u Ali? I just heard your mom call u that and I thought it-”.

“Ali is fine” I interrupt. I giggle a little for her non stop talking, and she automatically giggles too.

“Okay Ali, let’s show u around then” she says, putting pressure on Ali.
