Silence (IT 2017)

The New Girl

  (okay so I haven't clarified who her crush is going to be in this book because it's going to be complicated, and I want you, the readers, to state who you think she should end up with!!)

      It was a very eerie day to begin with, but even then no one would expect what could occur. A young boy engulfed in a yellow raincoat stood at the edge of his sick brother's bed in order to retrieve a small paper boat. He couldn't contain himself, overwhelmed with excitement that his boat will soon be able to float in this rainy evening.

   Oddly, the young boy, too scared to go down into the dark basement was not nervous to be outside which was slowly becoming darker by the minute.

  "You sure you can't come??" The tiny boy whined to his brother, still coating the paper boat with paraffin.

   The older boy started to erupt into a coughing fit, "I wish I could come." he stated unhappily.

   The young boy tilted his head, nodding slightly to show he understood. He snatched the boat from the table, and turned back to his brother who now had a serious expression.

   "You keep your rain stuff on," He started. "or you'll wind up with the f-flu like me, which you'll probably get a-anyway from my germs."

  The boy in the raincoat did another nod, grinning up at the brother he felt so dearly about. He always looked up to his older brother and he loved him more than anything, even if they always weren't on good terms. It was sad, what would happen next.

  "Thanks, Bill. It's a really cool boat." And by now, he did something he's never done; something that Bill would hardly ever forget. He leaned over and stood on his toes to reach near his brothers face, planting a small kiss on his cheek.

  "S-she. You call b-boats she Georgie," He smiled dearly at the younger brother he adored. "oh and Georgie?"

  Georgie look intently up at his brother. "Be careful."

   "I will."

But he wasn't; he was much farther away from safe that he could be. It was a tragic accident, something that the older boy would never ever forget.

  The young boy knew, knew it wasn't safe but it was pushed out of his mind. The smell that came off of that clown was dark, gloomy, a smell that came from the basement everytime he felt a monster was near. But the smell of popcorn, peanuts and cotton candy were stronger than the smell he could smell in the basement. It was a mistake that a young boy would make.

A very miserable mistake.

     Bella stood there silently as she looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. She didn't like the town as soon as she stepped one foot on it, and arriving the day school got out was even worst. All summer she would have no friends, no hang outs, just her and her room for three months.

   Her mom and dad tried hard to make this town seem like a fairytale. It's safe, beautiful, interesting, historical. To Bella, this place was just a beaten down town for older people, which did not seem like a fairytale at all.

  This town was already blazing hot, and her jeans were already sticking to her sweaty thighs, making them even tighter than they already are. Her face was becoming more oily by the second and she couldn't help but tie her light brown hair up into a bun.

  For two hours she felt trapped in this room, trying hard to focus on placing everything up on the walls and scattering her papers and pens on her desk. Her makeup was already messily laying around on the bathroom counter; two hours and her new room was already looking like it was hit by a extreme storm.
