Ok, so I have a certain person in my head for quite some time now and I wont say names...
Oh what the heck, it's Nick; he keeps popping in my head and the fact that I keep seeing dead cats all over the place and well, my kitty keeps haunting me.

So I did a story last night and well this is in dedication to Nick and Envy and well I hope they like it a lot.

Um ok so just to give a quick summary of my story so that you can understand where it ends up going.

So the story revals around a girl in her Junior year who can predict everything that is going to happened before it happens but she seems to be imune to someone in particular, Andrew. Samantha or better known as Sam always felt like her life was more like a movie that was already written for her to act out, therefore everything that accurs she already knows.

As the story progresses, Sam and Andrew begin to become close, going to who knows where and doing who knows what but Sam always notices that he misses a day of school every month. She begins to question her self what Andrew is hidding from her and at one point she ask's him why he misses a day from school, hesitant he only tells her that she should never go over to his place to look for him or else he could never forgive him self. She doesn't argue with him and later on forgets. One morning, her brother blames her that it was her fault that her pet died, she goes to school and seeks a bit of comfert from Andrew, sadly he is not there and decides to go look for him at his place. She knocks the door to his place and finds that no one answers, she tries to open the door(knowing that it would be impossible to find the door open) and opens. Surprise that his family would leave the door open; she goes in and looks for Andrew. She finds him and finds out that that day was one of the days that he had warned her not to go, in that single instant she finds her self caught in a terrifying moment.

And with no more further rampaging here is the first chapter of Lucky. Hope you guys enjoy. xd

It feels like this life I’m in was already written for me; like every second that passes I can anticipate what will happen- well not everything. I can never seem to see something precious of mines be lost forever, like you had it one day but the next day it’s not their and it feels strange, like a puzzle piece, you think you have them all but when you put it all together, you realize that your missing a piece and it’s bothering the way you want it to look. Just think of it for a second; you end up realizing that you can anticipate everything but the one thing in this world.

Death.

I thought that I could see everything that came my way, but I couldn’t. Like that was my one and only blind spot that I had my weakness. It bothered me to the core.

So to make things worse, the one thing that bothers me the most comes true.

My sweetest gift from heaven, the one thing that kept me bound to this ground was gone. Like someone evil had come and cut the string that had us both tied together was gone and all this person did was laugh at me for crying as I drifted out into the endless sky, as I stretched my hand towards him and he the same. True it’s not what you think at first but when you take a second to think about it, anything to you is special; regardless if it’s something so ironic or illogical.

I guess you could say I’m lucky, I found someone that was kind enough to grab me as I flouted away; tears become rain drops to others, making it oblivious if it’s rain or not. This ‘stranger’ was kind to grab my wrist as I gave up hope to even fight back and get to him. With a tender face and gentle smile, I trusted him and opened up to him, only to find that as I let him into my life; I was letting in a creature that I couldn’t control in.

Mirror

It was the first day of school and it felt like summer vacation was actually the weekend and we didn’t really have a vacation at all. I laid in bed as I thought of what was going to happen (even though I knew what would happened; Steph and Lauren would be waiting in line to pick up their Junior classes and once they saw me they would start to scream and yell and even cry, saying through their ‘tears’ “Sam, it’s been a long time we haven’t seen you.” Sure, we saw each other at the store as we bought the last few school supplies that we needed.)

I got up slowly and scratched my head and then sat there. After contemplating my ‘good nights’ sleep, I stared at the clock and watched it become 5:59am to 6:00am. I slowly uncover myself from my covers and walked over to my window, I opened the blinds and let the cool, fresh air enter my room. I stood there watching my neighbor water his garden and a jogger jog by our house.

Nothing’s changed, everything is the same. Another day that seems like a movie, instead of a life.

I went over to my closet and grabbed a breezy blouse. Knowing that it would be a hot day like all the others I decided to put it back and take a t-shirt that had printed all over it old fashion keys. I headed over to my drawer and pulled out some new shorts (no surprise) that my mom bought for me for school. I went over to my jewelry box and took out a long necklace that had a huge key hanging from it as well as a bird’s cage. I quickly grabbed my sandals and went straight to the bathroom.

I usually don’t take too long; I put up my long hair up in a plain simple bun or braid it into to braids. This time I put it up in a pony tail to try to seem different from all other years (I mean I was begging to seem obvious every year now), give me more variety. I brushed my teeth and grabbed my deodorant from the small medicine cabinet and then went down stairs to fix me my breakfast.

Typical in my first day to school breakfast was a bowl of cereal and that was it, no more- Oh! Except for the fact that I grabbed a granola bar and ate it on the way to school if my stomach began to have a war with me. I went right back up stairs and grabbed my backpack and cell.

I went over my drawer and grabbed my iPod only to realize that something was staring at me. I looked up and saw the picture of me and my cat together. I stood their motionless and then, as if someone had snapped their fingers for me to come back to reality; I ran out of my room and down the stairs, grabbed the keys form the counter top and opened the door to this long, over used movie.


I got to school at around 6:45; meaning that I only had 15 minutes or so to get in line and get my schedule for my first day. I walked over to get in line up until I heard my name being called by two very familiar voices.

“Sam! Sammy! SAMMMM!”

Oh god, have mercy on thy self.

“Sam! Look at you? You look different? New clothes?” Steph said as she eyed my clothing up and down closely.

“Yeah, I’ve never seen you wear something like this before Sam. Are you trying to impress a guy this year?” Lauren said as she elbowed me in the arm.

“Yes, I’m guilty, Steph; this is all new stuff that my mom got me and no Lauren, I’m not trying to impress anyone this year or the next.” I said as I rolled my eyes and smiled at them.

Both disappointed, changed the conversation to what happened over their vacations and their dramas. I listen closely half the time to be prepared if any of them asked me a question. It was boring having to hear them talk about their lives instead of talking about something more important, like the fact that the year after this one was our last and it was coming by fast. If today was today right now; then that would mean that tomorrows tomorrow would be our last day in school. Hard to comprehend, this was my philosophy for me. As I began to get closer I began to notice new faces amongst the old ones I had seen since my freshman year. I could tell that we had increased in size this year. I was able to pick my schedule up before the bell had rung for us to go to our first class. I saw that first period was Biology with Ms. Rogers, second was AP Stats with Ms. Owens, third was AP English with Mr. Lowell, fourth was honors U.S. History with Mrs. Stuarts, fifth was photo with Mr. Ong, sixth was AP chemistry with Mr. Wilkinson and lastly I had consoling.

New classes and new teachers, cool.

I saw that I had no classes with Steph or Lauren so I was happy but sad; I would be mostly quiet and working on my own for a while; up until I could make other friends.

It wasn’t so much that I was attach to Steph and Lauren that made me unable to make friends; it was the fact that they wouldn’t let me make any. They seem to attach themselves to me like leeches, it was weird when one was absent because the other was talking to me more serious or was quiet for the whole day.

I walked to my Biology class and saw that I was one of the last students to make it to class. Ms. Rogers seemed to be a bit nervous because when I walked in to her class, her glasses kept falling of her face. She had taken role so I had to state my name to the whole class. I sat in the second row in the front where I was surrounded by guys, guys who wouldn’t stop staring at me. What was I? A super model to them, gosh; take a picture it will last longer- no, wait; I don’t want them to have me up on their walls staring at me for who knew how long. Class went by slowly and then finish like all the other ones did.

Lunch came and I grabbed my lunch and sat at a table to wait to be invaded by Steph and Lauren. Like I had predicted, they invaded me and to make me feel a bit awkward, they each brought a new friend, no girl but a guy. So in like a month or so they would both start to date them and then once they came back from winter vacation they would be bitter and sober because they were cheated on.

I was never in their conversation. I just sat there quietly and read a packet I had gotten from my AP English class and try to answer some of the problems it was asking me but it seemed like I was going to have to do them at home.


From time to time I looked up and saw my surroundings and observed my fellow class mates. I saw that we had a new group of freshmen’s that seemed terrified of being at their new school, a couple of new faces in the sophomore class, a few in the Junior class and then the same Juniors from last year (who were now Seniors).
Not a lot of change.

I was looking around when I caught site of a face that seemed familiar from the rest. I knew I had never seen this person in real life but I had talked to them. It was a weird feeling because everything that had just happened so far this day was playing as it had every other year but, he made it seemed different. I knew that it would be strange to go up to him and be like…

“Hey, how’s it going? I know we have no classes together but you look like I’ve met you before but not in reality, so just dropping by to say ‘Hi’”

Yeah, unless I lost it for once I wasn’t going to go up to this guy, still, his face stayed printed in my mind like I was working hard to put all the faces I had seen throughout my movie life in place; examining theirs with his.

“Sam?” a familiar voice called me.

“Huh?”

“Who are you looking for?” Lauren asked puzzled to see me interested in something other than homework.

“Oh! No one. Don’t worry about it.” And quickly looked back to find this mysterious face again but, he was gone.

“Sam, I swear, you act more like a cat than a human.” Steph said and went back to chatting with her new friend.

The lunch bell ranged and every human body in the lunch court went back to searching their classes. I held my schedule in my hand looking for the building number and his face. I was persistent at this point because it was bothering me that he wouldn’t get out of my head; it wasn’t going to leave me in peace for who knew how long.

Defeated for the moment; I went in to the class and sat in the back so that I would be obliviously invisible to all the students. As if the small new actor in my own movie was just some stranger being paid to act like himself; he suddenly became nothing more but a blurry stranger and class went back to its monotone sound. Again, the teacher passed out paper work that explained what was going too happened throughout the school year and dismissed us once the bell ranged. I walked slowly in to the counseling office and decided to take a seat in one of the tables in the small cramped roomed. Slowly, new bodies began to file in one by one and then I noticed that we were a group of 14 student’s give or take less. We weren’t assigned much but to get the student packets ready to give by the end of this month. I worked quietly on my own and finished doing 63 packets on my own.

I hadn’t realized that their where people that where coming in and out of the small little office so when I got out of my seat and carried the packets in to the main office I bumped in to Mr. ‘Strange-Familiar’ face.

Stunned that out of all places I would see him there, I dropped all the packets on the floor and was left stunned to how perfect he seemed.

He was a tall slender young man, no older than 17. His hair was perfect, it seemed to all fall in to place; I mean the guy didn’t need to comb his hair, it was fine the way it was. And then his eyes were like suction cups that could keep you locked in to his trance.

I didn’t know how long I was staring at him but at a certain point he gave me this cold look and mumble something unintelligent under his breath and walked out.

I stood there like an idiot. What had just happened? I was about to ask him but was shocked. From far away, he seemed so luminous in the broad day light but, now he seemed more unreal.

I picked up all the packets and walked very fast to the receptionist and left her all the packets. I waited right back in the small cramped room hearing only the phone ring and the attendances answer them. When the bell rang I ran out of their and into the dry, hot sun. I didn’t wait a second for Steph and Lauren; I just immediately got out of the front gates and walked home.

I got home around 3:30 in the afternoon and found the house still fresh like in the morning. I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and went to the phone to see if there were any messages left. There was only one and I could guess whose it was. I pressed the answering machine and heard my mother’s ‘loving’ message. I quickly erased it, too preoccupied with what I was going to do tomorrow at school, I mean I was never really like this at all; he was altering the movie way too much. Was this a good sign or a bad one I mean, I was happy to know that it was changing but was it for real?

I decided to leave the incident behind me and forget about him. I cleaned up the house and went to my room to do some homework. I never looked up to see what time it was only to hear that a door was being unlocked downstairs. I could hear light footsteps come up and then slowly coming towards my room. The door opened and heard my mother speak to me.

“Hi Samantha, how was the first day of school?”

It was horrid. A guy ruined my movie liked life and now I don’t know what to do with my life itself.

No I couldn’t say that to her, it would be like I was crushing over this stranger.

“It went fine, nothing new; everything went like every other year.” I said, still facing away from her as I worked on my packet for English class.

“Oh, did you see your friends?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you guys have any classes together?”

“No, kinda happy though, maybe this way the both of them can finally get down to business and not relay on me.”

She didn’t respond back, instead she came over and kissed the top of my forehead and then left my room.

It wasn’t that I hated her; it was just that she worried too much about me. Ever since Rick left to the army she’s been more paranoid over me and then ever since the incident that happened; she’s been babying me like crazy.

I looked outside my window and saw the beautiful moon hanging from the sky. It seemed so peaceful and at a certain point I realized that I had completely zoned out of this world. I looked at my clocked and saw it was past 8:30, tired, I went to my drawer and took out my toiletries and pajamas to the hall way bathroom. I came out in ten minutes and then went downstairs to find my mom in the kitchen cooking herself something that seemed unappetizing.

“Hey mom, I’m heading to bed now, want me to wake you up in the morning so you won’t be late to work?”

“Oh you are?” she said turning only momentarily.

I nodded.

“No, you don’t have to wake me up; I’m actually going to enter late to work tomorrow. I have to go do some business at the bank tomorrow so I’ll be even later then ever.”

“Oh, all right then, I’ll see you then tomorrow night then. Night mom.”

“Night sweet heart.”

I walked up to my room and then hesitated as I was already inside there. I closed the door behind me and looked at the tons of pictures my mom had put up on my shelves. I saw a picture of me and Rick when we were younger; I saw another picture of me, Lauren and Steph at my party, another one of Uncle Josh and Cousin Eric at our Fourth of July bomb fire, one of Grandma Gloria and Grandpa Julio at their 75 anniversary party and then; the picture of me and my cat together.
Envy, my sweet little piece of heaven.

I didn’t realize at first; not until his face came flashing into my head again that I had seen him before but, I was looking in the wrong section of pictures that I had in my head. This stranger didn’t remind me of a person but of my pet; a simple mirror but human.
I stood there yet again in a trance and whispered to myself…

“Who are you and what are you doing to my movie like life?”
