Sooo here is The Snow Globe Project! I am going to take more time on this, because I felt as if I were rushing on Driskill. Meaning that updates will be less frequent.

Here is Chappy Uno!

Chapter One

I just want to disappear
-Houdini by Foster the People

Yesterday I had gotten my acceptance letter from The University of Arizona. I can't believe it, it is finally official! In just two weeks, I will be on my way to becoming an author. In just two weeks, I will leave this Canadian town for Arizona. In just two weeks, I will be free.

"Clare, hurry up!" Owen yelled impatiently from downstairs.

I groaned and shut my laptop, "I'm coming! Just hold on!"

With Mom and Dad both working crazy shifts, I have to drive my little brother Owen to and from school and other activities. He isn't much of hassle; it was the routine that was tiring.

I snatched my denim jacket that was slung across my desk chair and grabbed my backpack that slumped against the nearby wall. I then jogged downstairs to see Owen was already by the door and shaking his leg impatiently.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" I asked, opening the door and pushing him outside. It was still slightly chilly outside though it was almost summer.

"I have a football game! Mom and Dad are going to be there." Owen stated, as if it were obvious. The thirteen-year-old hopped into the black, beat-up van and I followed. "They are?" I felt a little guilty by sounding surprised. It wasn't their fault they were working so much. They were trying.

I started the car and headed towards Owen's school.

"Yeah, Dad promised."

I really hope they were going to go. They promised a lot of things that they couldn't follow through on lately.

"Okay, but remember, you have my number if you need me." I reminded him, turning on the radio. I smiled when I realized they were playing Houdini by Foster the People; a perfect start to a Friday.

Owen sighed, obviously irritated with me, "They are coming."

I put my hands up in defense, "Never said they weren't." Though I did imply it.

Owen didn't reply. He just looked out his window.

I felt a little bad about what I said, but that was life. Sometimes things didn't go the way you wanted them to.

I pulled in to Owen's school and dropped him off. Then I headed to none other than Degrassi. The place I hated so much along with Toronto itself.

Degrassi is all about drama. You can't trust anyone. Luckily, I kept to myself all the while I've lived here. I avoided drama, boys, and potential friends. I'm not antisocial; I just don't like the people here. Of course when I go to Arizona, I will try to make friends and maybe even get a boyfriend, but I will not waste my time with the people of Degrassi.

I pulled into the school parking lot and turned the car off. I leaned back against my seat and took a deep breath before opening the car door. Just two more weeks.

…

I sat silently on the far side of the classroom near the window, listening to the conversations of the ones surrounding me. All of them were about somebody they either liked or hated.

Finally Miss Dawes walked in, glaring at the class when they kept talking. "The bell has already rung!" She yelled, crossing her arms over her chest. She peered at everyone over her glasses, reminding me of a waiting vulture.

Everyone in the classroom fell silent. They all looked back up at her, looking slightly annoyed that she interrupted them.

"Okay," She began, walking to her desk and leaning against it. "Since school is almost out, I am giving you free time to go clean out your lockers and such. So go." She finished, motioning us out.

The whole class hissed a 'yes' as they made their way out towards their lockers. It was their chance to socialize.

Before I walked out, Miss Dawes stopped me. "So, did we hear anything from Arizona?" She asked, smiling slyly. Miss Dawes is always telling me how talented I am when it comes to writing. She was the one who suggested The University of Arizona. She is probably the only one at Degrassi I don't hate.

"I got the acceptance letter yesterday." I said, trying to control the grin that was forming. Miss Dawes faced opened with pure excitement, "Oh Clare that is wonderful!" I nodded, "Yeah, I can't wait."

Please, that was an understatement. It was all I could do to not run to Arizona at this very moment.

…

I made my way down to my locker. I looked out the windows that I passed and noticed it was raining. It was almost nice, the way the halls were lit and the way the outside world was a dark blue. It was probably the most comfortable I had ever been in this school.

Once I made it to my locker I began sorting and making piles of trash and things I didn't need. I was kind of in a daze as I did this, so I was surprised when I was rammed into my locker.

I spun around, my eyes set into a glare, ready to yell at whoever ran into me. It was a boy about my age. I had seen him around before. We shared Miss Dawes' class. He had long black hair, pale skin, and green eyes. He was always dressed in black. His name was Eli, though people called him 'Emo Boy' and 'Dr. Doom'. He was always making snide comments and giving people sarcastic smirks. Just like the one he was giving me now.

"Can I help you?" I snapped, picking up a piece of paper I dropped.

Eli chuckled and shook his head, "No, it was an accident. Sorry." He looked at me as if I humored him. We stood there for a while. I kept my glare steady, hardly blinking. And, finally, he walked away, quietly laughing to himself.

"Ass." I mumbled, turning back to my locker.

…

Owen's game was cancelled because of the rain, so I was on my way to pick him up from the Jr. High.

The radio drowned out the tapping of the rain. I slung the camera strap around my finger with my free hand, humming to the radio. (I brought the camera to film Owen's game, just in case Mom or Dad couldn't make it. I've had to do this many times, unfortunately.)

A boom of thunder rolled above me, followed by a quick flash of lightening. I just wanted to get home and watch TV. This was the perfect day to do so.

I was close to Owen's school when the rain completely stopped. But it was odd, one minute it was raining really hard, then it stops; like if I went under a bridge. And radio stopped the exact same time the rain did.

I was too busy trying to fix my radio that I almost bumped into the car parked in front of me. Why was he parked in the middle of the street? Then I realized there was a whole line of cars in front of me that were parked. People were getting out of their cars and were running to the beginning of the line.

Curious, I got out also and followed.

Ahead, I could see a car that was smoking. A person was dragging someone out of the car. It was just a wreck. Why were people getting out of their cars for this?

I found out once I got closer. The car looked like it ran into something head on, but nothing was there.

An ambulance zoomed past me, its sirens yelling.

I was close enough to the wreck now to see how bad it was. The whole front of the car was demolished, as if the person drove full speed into something. But where was that something?

I heard one of the paramedics asking an onlooker, "Did you see what happened?"

The woman shook her head, "All I saw was the wreck. I didn't see what he hit."

The paramedic nodded and wrote it down, "Thank you for your time."

A man got back in his car and was driving off. But before he passed the wreck, the car bumped into something.

Everyone paused and turned towards the car. The man tried going again, but something was blocking him. He got out and walked to the front of the car, scratching his head in thought. He shifted his weight and then he jumped, "Whoa!"

"Sir, are you okay?" One of the paramedics asked, advancing towards him.

The man ignored him and put his hand out in front of him. "Oh my God!" he yelled. He put both hands in front of him and moved them around.

"Sir?" The paramedic asked again. "Get over here!" The man yelled, motioning the paramedic over. When he got there, he put his hands out also. He gasped and jumped back.

Confused, people walked over to the man and put their hands out and each of them jumping back in fear.

What was going on?

I walked over to where everyone stood and put my hands out.

I gasped when my hands came in contact with a wall.

Say whuuut? lol, anyway, reviews?
