Chapter 1 : New Life and The Encounter

Not feeling good about this today... Just moved in Jump City and not sure if I'll feel comfortable around here. It's that feeling where you know something bad's going to happen but you don't know what it is. I don't know, probably just over exaggerating the situation.

At least I still have my online friend who I message like everyday. I know it's stupid, I don't even know the guy, maybe it's not even a guy... a lesbian pretending to be a guy? You never know. But that's all I got for now I guess.

Maybe I feel uneasy, because this whole "starting anew" idea was kind of scary, knowing that if you fall, no one will catch you. My parents died recently and I never really knew them that much either. They're always traveling everywhere, for pleasure and business, leaving me and Komi back home to fend for ourselves.Komi, my sister, she a tough gal.

But me, I need people around me, it makes me feel secure and not so lonely. Back in Gotham, I had some friends at school, you know, but I don't have any best friends or anything like that. I guess people see me different since I have red flaming hair that's 100 natural and orangy tanned skin. I always put in a high ponytail 'cause I don't want attract any attention. When I let my hair down, it's like the ultimate guy-magnet, I din't want guys all over me like that and I definitely don't want a boyfriend. I'm in love of the idea of falling in love, you know like movies, romance novels and dramatic soap operas, however everyone knows that's just a fantasy and too many melodramatic people!

I yawned as I stared at the time on the right bottom hand corner of the screen. Hmmm... Tomorrow school? Sigh New life huh? I better make the best of it and not screw it up. I changed my clothes into my pjs and collapsed on the bed. I turned and snatched my alarm clock and set it to 6:30am. That should do it right?

I slid into my sheets and pulled them over, I turned my body on its side and slid my right hand under the pillow. This was always my comfortable position. For me, it's hard to sleep with all the things in my head, so I try to make up romance stories in my head and close my eyes and then before you know it's MORNING...

BBUUZZZZZZZZZZZZBUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Damn! That stupid alarm clock! I hated how it buzzed so loudly, such a nuisance! Couldn't it play like a song or a lullaby or something! Jeezzz...

Never mind, new day, first day of school, "Whoop de Dooo!" emitting a sarcastic tone in my voice. I jumped out of bed and headed to my private washroom in the room and looked at my reflection. My hair reached, I guess just above my derrière. A little wavy, and sometimes it can get puffy, which I hate. But this morning it was just the way I liked it. I got out my straightener and straightened out the little kinks in my hair and my bangs. I tied it in a high ponytail and grabbed some black jeans and an olive tee with tattooed like drawings on it. I went downstairs for a quick breakfast, toasted bread with peanut butter which is melted. Put on my red Chuck Taylor shoes and I'm out the door.

It was a long walk so I had to start early. My sister was in university and she could drive herself but I didn't want her to go through the trouble to wake up early and drive me to school. Shoot, I forgot to lock the door again. I ran back, locked the house and resume my walk to school. I stopped on the last step of my house and hid behind one of the pillars of my house. I glanced at the house next door, a guy, a very tall guy... Why was I afraid all of a sudden? All of a sudden I had a phobia of the opposite sex? No way.

I glanced again and he was gone out of sight. Where did he go? Then I heard a garage open, ohh. I thought fast I ran on the sidewalk to get a head start before he could see me. I ran as fast I could toward the school without looking behind. I was crossing an intersection and WHOOSH! Do you kow the feeling when something bad happens to you and it goes slow motion? Like when a ball is coming to hit you, it goes slow and then once it hits you you're on the ground wondering what happened? That's exactly what happened.

I was on the pavement, staring at the sky like a dimwit and I stood up and a meter away was the guy, my neighbour on the ground with his skateboard rolling away. I picked up my things and headed towards him, apparently he had short black hair with pretty long bangs to cover his eyes. His bangs were on the side of his face and his eyes were closed. If it wasn't for his bangs, all the girls would be drooling right now. His face was mature and mysterious, he looked sexy for guy unconscious, he probably looked like a god when he's smiling. I was afraid to touch him, but my hesitant hand felt his face. It was soft yet cool, a weird feeling when the warmth of my hand touched his cool skin.

He suddenly opened his eyes, as I jumped to my feet, I couldn't help but see his cerulean eyes. Just like the sky, like the perfect summer. My mouth open, I snapped out of my shock and ran and without seeing where I was going my foot landed on his skateboard and fell back once again in slow motion. But instead of cracking my head, I felt arms catch me and then it was normal speed again. Next thing I knew I was staring at his eyes once more. I closed my eyes, thinking as if it was my imagination. I opened my eyes and he set me upright.

He didn't even say a word, strange as it seems, I ran again, thinking over and over and over, "walk away, this is not happening..." I stopped, I turned around and saw him looking at me and said, "Nice job, redhead." I turned my head and grimaced. I ran again, this time aware of my surroundings and in no time I was at school. RRRRIIIIIINNNNNNGGGG!

Just in time.

I went to the front desk and said, "I'm Korinna Anders."

I hoped you like it!

My first fanfic, take an easy on me!

Thanks!
