Welcome to the first chapter of… The Future in my Hands.

*Angel music*

Disclaimer: i only own the OC as always.

Let the story begin!

Once upon a time… there was a girl named Samantha…

Of course, everyone called her Sam, cause if they didn't they'd get a nice fist to the face.

Sam lived in the boring world of our world.

You know the world I'm talking about, the one where high school is not as cool as High School Musical wanted you to think it was.

No, I'm talking about the boring one, the one where you either form a protective group of fake friends around you till graduation day, or blend in to the walls.

Sam was a 'blend in with the walls' kind of person. She was only 16 and still hated drama, while other girls her age thrived on it.

She found making fake friends 100% pointless. She didn't need to deal with that sort of thing. Gossip was just as annoying, people cared to much about it in her opinion.

Blending into the walls wasn't very easy when you're pretty. The wolves most commonly known as boys were hard to avoid, and they traveled in packs.

If Sam could have her way, she would have no chest, straight hips and no monthly mess, she hated the monthly mess.

Instead, she was pretty, boys followed her, and she did have the monthly annoyance.

Her thick brown hair flowed neatly down her back, all she had to do was run a brush through it and it looked like she had straightened it.

Her breast size was just right by male standards, not too big, not too small. Her hips where the same way.

Her grass green eyes were sharp and bright. She was the picture of natural beauty.

And she hated it.

"Hey Sam!"

Oh good lord not again.

Sam Cooper turned around from her locker to see Brett Daniels, the most popular guy in school. Its his senior year in high school, and he made it his goal to date every girl in the school by the time he graduates. So far, every girl has fallen for him.

Except Sam.

"I got two tickets to the concert this friday night, wanna go?"

He seemed convinced that Sam was merely playing hard to get. His little mind couldn't fathom that there was a girl on this earth who didn't want to date him.

"I've told you before Daniels, i'm not going out with you."

They had long passed the stage where she acted like she cared.

His light brown eye were starting to get puppy eyed, "Aww come on Sam, its high time you had some fun, come with me. I promise, it'll be the greatest thing you've ever done."

Normal people would have fallen for his 'I'm so cute' act, but Sam saw right through it.

"I said no Daniels. We are not going out no matter how much you want to, and we are not on first name basis. So get out of my face, and ask someone from your fanclub to go with you."

Crap, people were looking. Her invisible veil was dropping, she had to get out of here. She pushed past him and quickly walked to her class.

She had almost fallen for it, earlier on in the year she had considered accepting his offer and going out with him, but she over heard him and his friends talking about his little 'goal' and that had been the end of it.

At the end of the day some girls from the Daniels fanclub tried to corner her, believing that she had broken their poor sugar daddy's heart, but she was able to escape just as the bell rang.

She made the trek home slowly.

In case you were wondering, yes, this is one of those stories were the character has a sad back story that normally includes an abusive parent or guardian.

In this case, it was the father.

He was an alcoholic with temper tantrums and drug addictions. The common asshole of a father.

She did not love him, in fact, she felt no family connection to him what so ever. He could be dead for all she cared.

Unfortunately, she wash't old enough to leave him, so she was stuck with him till she got that chance.

Killing herself was an option, but was quickly banished to the back of her mind. She didn't feel the exhausting downward pull of depression other people her age were always talking about.

But she really didn't have anything to live for... in fact, she frequently wondered why she was even here.

She had that gut feeling that she should be some where else.

You know, the feeling that you forgot something, but can't remember what. When you walk up to a room to get something and forget what you came for.

That was how she felt.

Another thing to dislike about this boring world.

Every one in this world knew how to live, how to survive. It was human nature to do so, but Sam couldn't relate.

There was something about this world she just didn't like, something that made her itch. She felt allergic to this world, and it was annoying.

"Bout' damn time ye got 'ome." The man on the couch slurred. He was drunk again, no surprise there.

"Get me a beer would ya."

Sam silently walked to the fridge, and grabbed an unopened beer can from it. She quickly gave him his beer and made her way to her room.

"Where do ya think yer going?" He said.

She ignored him and kept walking.

He started shouting, the best way to deal with this was to barricade herself in her room, the old man was too lazy to make the trek up the stairs from his ever so comfortable couch to shout at her there.

So when she successfully blocked her bedroom door from any attack, she calmly logged on to her computer, which her mother had given to her before she had left. Ditching her with the deadbeat asshole down stairs.

She started watching her favorite show, Teen Titans.

She learned a while ago that most people consider superheroes childish, Sam disagreed.

The superheroes were her idols. She knew every singe background there was to know about every character, villain and hero alike. Batman was by far her favorite superhero, because even though he had no powers, he was still the greatest hero in the whole JLA. Robin was obviously her favorite sidekick, oops, excuse me, young partner in the DC universe. His leadership of the Titans proves he was on his way to following in his father's footsteps.

But Slade definitely creeped her out to no end.

He may be Deathstroke, one of the greatest villains the JLA ever faced, but he was still a pedophile.

I mean come on! He is stalking Robin for petes sake! Sam was horrified when she found out that in the comics, he and Terra actually did… that… in bed.

*shiver* omg it was too gross to think about.

But the best part about the DC universe wasn't just because it had superheroes.

It felt real.

She didn't get that forgetful feeling when she watched or read about the DC universe, she didm't feel the terrible itch when she heard or saw anything that had to do with that world.

It wasn't like this one.

She continued her online adventures till she started getting ready for bed, realizing before hand that she had no food since the free breakfast she had at school.

But it wasn't very safe to go down to get something to eat with him having one of his fits.

So, with an empty stomach, Sam closed her eyes, and forced herself to sleep.

So yes, this is the intro chapter to the story, and i intend to make to next chapters a lot longer.

Reviews are always welcome.
