Okay. So it took me a minute to think. How was I going to repost this? I still sort of have no idea. So I guess I'll replace it with the old chapter one...which I just did if you're reading this.
And before I forget, Disclaimer: Avatar the Last Airbender wasn't my idea, but I wish it was.
One more thing: I'M GRADUATING TOMORROW, HUZZAH! Now only the story.
Pencils tapping, people picking at their nails, hidden texting, and quiet conversations carried throughout the classroom as we all impatiently waited for that bell that would end our week at school. The ticking from the clock in the back of the classroom is what kept us all perked up. I glanced up at it, to only watch the second marker strike twelve and it finally rang. Students shot out of their seats for the freedom that they craved for all week.
I scooped up my backpack and carried my English books on my way out of the room as I told the teacher to have a nice weekend. Always the last one out of the room, but that meant I didn't have to shove anyone as I went through the doorway. I took my time as I navigated through the hallways and bumped into people who randomly stopped in front of me to have conversations, which happened all the time. I sighed as I weaved around them to get to my locker.
Cautiously, I opened my locker and peeked in and saw books leaning against the door, ready to fall the moment I would open it. I swung it open and put my other arm under the books to catch them and prevent them from hitting the floor. I sighed out of pure relief before I grabbed the books I needed for the weekend and stashed the rest back before slamming the door shut.
I made my way through the diminishing crowds as I went outside, where my mom would be waiting in her nice blue Honda CRV. I crawled into the back and dumped my stuff behind me. My two little brothers were already in and buckled, bickering loudly on our drive home, just like they always did.
Oh, that reminds me, I should have introduced myself, I'm Olivia, the oldest out of three children. My life has been quite boring: an average student in high school that played the part of the only female geek and I'm proud of it. People have found it funny that I'm quite clumsy, but I really don't care, I just roll with it.
When we got home and my brothers shoved each other out of the car, I went up to my room and went right onto the computer. Due to my dad being a huge computer geek, we all have our own computers in the house, and note that he is for PC and not Mac. Never has been, and I will never understand why. As I waited for the computer to turn on, I rolled back in my chair and looked at myself in the mirror. My dirty blonde hair reached down to the end of my shoulder blades, in its natural curl form, with a bit of frizz that I could never get rid of, of course. I had a round face, and still a bit of baby fat in my cheeks, but people said that I looked to be of drinking age. If I stood up, I would easily be 5"10 or 5'11..yeah I'm tall, but that's the reason why I'm in basketball.
I got back to the computer and browsed the web, eventually ending up in the fanfictions, my current obsession being Avatar the Last Air bender. "Would be awesome if they were real," I murmured every time as I thought about the show.
"Olivia," called my mother, "we're going out to eat dinner. How much homework do you have?"
I sighed, "I have a lot, and I want to finished it tonight so I have a free weekend." It's partially true, I did have homework, but I'm a horrible procrastinator and won't do it until the night before or the day that it was due.
"Alright, see you later then" and my family left the house, just like that.
I looked out the window to see the car leaving the house, I smiled in relief, it felt good to be alone, finally. I remembered that the Avatar was on tonight, even though it was a re-run. I rushed down the hall, and stumbled down the stairs, missing the last step and I slid on the wood floors as I ran to the family room and leapt onto the couch and turned on the television. I was just in time to watch the full episode.
As the introduction for the show came up, I had noticed something slightly off about it, but before I could observe what the reason was, the television went black. I furrowed my brows in confusion, the lights were still on. TV off, lights on…okay, that's not weird. I hope the light bulb in the television didn't go off again.
I perked up, "What just happened," I wondered aloud. The television just had a new light bulb put in it, and it can't be broken, it was too new.
The screen suddenly went white and the rest of the power went off, I squinted my eyes from the brightness, there were black silhouettes of human figures on the screen. I heard a chuckle, "we finally found you." His voice was deep and velvety, almost heavenly, yet it still frightened me.
My body tensed, are they talking to me? "What do you mean," my voice quivered.
"You are the one we have been searching for," he said, like if it was that obvious, "you are coming with us."
I blinked, how on earth could they make me come with them? They are on a television screen, it's not like- oh crap. The air around me started pulling me towards the television, like a tornado sucking me to my demise. I grabbed onto the couch, the wind around me tugged on to me even harder, "you will be coming, Olivia. Resistance is Futile." Wait, they know my name? This is all too weird.
Finally, I had lost my grip and slipped through the television, like if it wasn't even there. A sudden wave of exhaustion overwhelmed me. Everything grew dark and blurry, the last thing I could remember thinking was, why me?
Alrighty then, the next edited chapter will be out ASAP, and I have no clue when that is, could be tomorrow for all I know. Go ahead and read ahead if you like, or just wait for the edited updates.
Thanks for reading! Have an awesometastic day! Also, please leave a review, I would very much like to know what you think. I LIKE OPINIONS.
