Chapter One: The New Girl

It was Friday 13, the most unlucky day of the year. I woke up from the same nightmare I was always having, a graveyard and the words Caroline Lake across it. I don't know who Caroline Lake is though . . . I was late for school. I quickly got dressed in my blue top, skinny jeans and hoody. I ran out to catch the bus to Ford High School. I got their just in time and my friend Kayla saved a seat for me.

"Woke up late again?" She said as I sat next to her.

"Yeah," I replied I was still half asleep, and my stomach was growling.

"Have this, I know your staving," Kayla said as she brought a plastic lunch box out of her bag. Inside were two pieces of toast and orange juice carton. Kayla had black hair and brown eyes. She had tanned skin and she had her hair in a tidy pony-tail. I on the other hand I had brown long hair but when I'm in the sun it has a hint of red, that was in a messy bun and deep-blue eyes. I have pale skin and naturally nude lips.

"You're a life saver," I replied. I quickly consumed the toast and swallowed the orange juice in about a minute.

"That's one minute, twenty-two seconds. That's a new record," Kayla said happily. I looked out of the window. Ford Town was a gloomy and ordinary place. Nothing exciting happened there. It was pouring down in rain. Ford High School was just about any other regular school, except it's completely bland. The most exciting thing that happened was that our dress code changed from school uniform to own clothes. We are all sorted into cliques. Kayla and I are in the Art group along with another eighteen people. I'm not good at art but I did it because Kayla loves it and I don't want to be separated from her.

"Come on," I said. "We're going to be late."

Later on in Art class things happened. When we were suppose to hand in our assignments a popular kid, (Nicky Mouse) stole Kayla's drawing. I don't know how but I got really angry at Nicky (which is weird because I'm not the type to get angry) the page turned out to be blank and when Kayla went up hers was finished and complete.

Kayla said it was luck but then when we were in the cafeteria Nicky and her groupies came to mine and Kayla's table. She accidently spilled some juice on Kayla's dress. I was so angry that I almost stood up and smacked her but someone did it before me. It was the new girl Rikki.

"No-one does that," Nicky complained.

"Obviously someone should," She replied.

Nicky squealed and ran away with her group of friends.

"Sorry about that," Rikki said.

"Actually thank you," Kayla said.

"I'm Rikki Lauren," She replied.

"This is my friend Kayla Reid and I'm Summer Bloom," I explained.

"So, do you guys mind if I sit with you? I don't have many friends," Rikki asked

"Sure," Kayla responded.

Rikki was one of those girls with an attitude. We swiftly became friends. Then it was time for afternoon class and Rikki said she'll join Art class with us. When Nicky saw her she purposely dropped paint all over her. Rikki couldn't do anything about it because the art teacher was there. But I could. Even though I didn't know I did it, I would never actually do it. Nicky, the blonde angel who everyone would listen was about to get a reality check. She placed her paint jars on her desk and as soon as she sat down I did something. I knew I did it bout no-one else knew. I broke the jar. I used my mind to burst it. But it looked like Rikki knew it was me and she was smiling. I knew she was going to ambush me after class. Everything quieted down and I tried to keep my temper under control. Then after class we went on the school bus and I invited Rikki and Kayla for dinner. Kayla said thank you but she said she couldn't come. Rikki on the other hand said that she would love to come. When we got home I introduced Rikki to my mum and Kaitlin and Caitlin (Kate and Cat as they prefer to be called.) I then told Rocky to make herself at home as I prepared for dinner. Mum said that she will make dinner and that I should give Rikki a tour of the house so I did. I showed her the creepy cellar and the twins' bedrooms. Then I showed her my bedroom which was normal. It had a black rose wallpaper on the largest surface of the wall and the rest was painted in white paint. There was also some painted decorarions in black paint ontop of the white.

"Whoa," was all Rikki could say.

"I know. My mum hired professionals to do the house i just picked the wallpaper and they did the rest. Come on im gonna show you something,"I grabbed Rikki's hand and hauled her to a door.

"This is the door to the attic. Were going to go there 'cause my mum said im not allowed," i told her.

"If your mum said your not allowed into the attic, why are you going there?" Rikki asked cuoriously

"That's what I'm gonna find ou!" I said.

"Your a real girl of mystery arn't you?" Rikki asked.

"Yes now come on it'll be fun!" I tried to convine her and I even used my puppy-dog face.

"Okay! Okay! Just quit with the puppy-dog eyes, it's kinda creepy," Rikki commented.

I opened the door to the mysterious attic.
