Storm Rock

Chapter 1

{LOIS}

I woke up and knew instantly that I was lying down in a car. The car hit a bump and a shot straight up. I was beyond confused. I was in what looked like a limo, and surrounded by a few people from my class. A boy named Dan woke up next. We have known each other for a long time, and we were pretty close. "Hey! Do you have any idea what the hell is going on?" I said as I looked out the window. "How would I know I just woke up. What happened?" He replied still half asleep. It looked like we were driving through a forest. Dan rubbed his brown eyes and looked around. "Last thing I remember we were being pelted with blue rocks" he looked at me as if hopping I would tell him he was dreaming. I didn't. "Try to wake everyone up." I told him. I walked to the front and started banging on the black glass and yelling. Hazel woke up. "Lois-" she stared, but stopped because the limo wasn't moving anymore. I looked out the window to see the largest house I had ever seen. It was a huge mansion made of black marble and gold. It had about 3 levels to it. And it was in the middle of the forest. By now everybody was awake and looking out the window. "That's so sick!" Blake said not even really concerned where we were. Suddenly the doors opened. We all rushed out to see what was going on. Everyone instantly calmed down when we saw are parents. I ran up to mine and asked what was going on. The looked at each other and smiled. "Lo, something amazing has happened." She said hugging me tightly. My dad looked at me excitedly. "We want you to go to this-" my mom finished for him. "New school." she said. I stared at them in shock. "This is my new school!?!" I said gesturing to the mansion. "Yes, and all your friends are going with you." She couldn't stop smiling. "But why?" My dad checked his watch. "Look Lo, we have to leave, but we will be back. Don't worry, Mrs Mercer will explain everything." He kissed my forehead and he and my mother waved good bye. On the mansion stairs, a tall lady with auburn hair waved. "Hello everyone! Please come here." She called to us. "My name is Mrs. Mercer, and I am the one in charge here." I instantly disliked her. "Please come in, and I will show you too your rooms." We all followed. I walked up beside Hazel. "What do you think this is all about?" I asked. I'm not going to lie, I thought this place was amazing. She shrugged and kind of looked distant. We walked into a huge room that had a white shaggy carpet and blue walls. There was black leather chairs and couches, and a huge flat screen tv. Everything looked

high-tech. At the end of the room was an elevator. Mrs Mercer handed us each a slip if paper that had a floor and a number on it. "I'm sure every one will be able to find their rooms." She said as she walked away. I checked my slip. It was room 16, floor 3. I hopped in the elevated and hit the button. It shot up so fast I almost fell. I walked out and ran into someone. "Sorry." I said not looking to see who it was. "Hey wait!" They called. I turned around to see a guy about my age. He had wavy brown hair that just about fell into his eyes-which for the record- were grey. He was tall and had a muscular build.

He had a crooked smile on his face. "You must be new here. Need any help finding your room?" He said. Seemed friendly enough. "Yes, I am new. And no I don't need help. But thanks" I replied and turned away. "Well unless your room is in the library, I'd say your lost." He called. "Alright." I said. "Let's go."
