Whispers - Chapter 1
The flight from New York to London was really long and annoying, imagine sitting on one place for six hours. I was so happy when when we finally got to London. I mean not because I was happy for moving here but because my whole body was aching and I couldn't wait to finally stand up.
We only had to wait for two luggage's since me and Kyra didn't have that much things. Half was my clothing was in my back pack. Airports always, to me, seem so chaotic, everyone running around, all the luggage and stuff.
Outside it was raining.
"Yeah go England" I said sarcastically.
"Oh it'll be okay don't warry Leah" Kyra said not even looking at me.
" I don't get it, why did we have to move, we could've just ignored it all and stayed back in New York" I said glancing at her sideways. Kyra was searching through the cars, I guess she was trying to find us a lift from London down to the north coast of England. I always thought of Kyra as my mother, but I never called her by that, she didn't want it.
Rockmount school is in the forest near the New Romney on the north coast of England. People know about the Academy but they think it's for special children or something like that.
"There!" she said loudly . Her voice made me jump.
"What? What's where?" I said a bit annoyed cause people were looking at us, couldn't Kyra not shout, you know it makes people stare at you weirdly.
"Look there, our lift, come on let's get moving" She pointed on to the other side of the car park, There was a blue school bus, with words ' Rockmount Academy - Educational Facility for Highly Gifted Children - from ages 10 to 19.'
Kyra runned through the car park, dragging her luggage behind her, she seemed so excited. I followed slowly behind her, thinking what is so special about our lift, that she can't wait to get to it.
"Oh Greg I haven't seen you for ages" Kyra shouted ten mitres away from the bus. Greg as I assumed from Kyra's shouting, was standing beside the bus, his curly hair were moved around by the wind, he had golden brown warm eyes, he was a young man about Kyra's age, the side of his mouth pulled up when he heard her. I mean I'm not really sure about Kyra's age, she was granted immortality by Zeus, but he looked around twenty-five and that's how Kyra looks like as well. Oh so Greg is the reason for Kyra's little craziness.
Kyra used to talk about a boy called Greg, I mean a man. That she was madly in love with but he only thought of her as a good friend.
"Kyra, you haven't changed a bit" he said.
Now we where standing right in front of him. His olive skin looked like nothing I've seen before in the sunlight. I could feel Kyra's excitement.
"Neither did you, what do you use?" she said, I chuckled. They both looked at me.
"You must be Leah, the accident of Athena and Oceanus" He said shaking my hand and adding a heart warming smile to it.
"Oh yeah, that's me the 'big accident' that even her grandad hates" I laughed.
"Did you do it? I mean it's not raining anymore" Kyra laughed, handing Greg her and mine luggage.
"You seemed like you felt pretty cold" He said and went up the steps in to the mini bus we followed him.
Greg left our luggage's on the seats in third row. The mini bus smelled after strawberries. The bus was bran new, well at least it looked like that. The black walls were clean, the blue seats and the red floor were both tidy and undestroyed. Right after the doors closed behind us it started to rain.
Kyra picked the seat behind Greg, so unsuprising. It was funny seeing Kyra like this, she looked like a complete teenager to me. How come he thinks of Kyra only as a friend? Kyra is one of the prettiest women I know, She has peach colored skin, beautiful honey-brown hair and brown eyes that send worm tingles up your spine when she laughs. All the men from out neighborhood back in New York wanted to go out with her, but she never seemed interested in them.
I think I'm a little bit like Kyra. I mean I'm pretty ( that's what people say when they meet me). I have long black hair, baby blue eyes, pale white skin. All the boys from school kept following me and tried to get me to go out with them, but I just never seemed interested in them. I guess I'm waiting for true love to happen to me like Kyra.
I sat on the seat across from Kyra.
"It's going to take us around one hour and forty one minutes, to get to the Academy" Greg said, while we were getting out of the chaotic car park.
I took out my ipod. I love music, I can play on several instruments, my second favourite activity is drawing and painting, I guess I know who I got this ability from. The music was blasting in my ears, I like it that way because it helps me think.
Greg and Kyra were talking about something but I couldn't hear them anymore. I was so tired from the flight, I can never fall asleep on a plane. My eyes closed, and I was drifting into the peaceful dreamland.
I'm running through cold, dark streets, of a city I've never seen. Something or someone is following me. I don't know who, but I just feel the urge to get as far from it as possible. There's no one outside. All the the street lights are off, there is no sign of the moon in the sky. I'm scared of something, but what? What am I running from? Where am I? I've been asking myself these questions, for I don't know how long now. I heard a loud bang somewhere behind me, I turned around, my brain was telling me to run, but my heart was saying that there's someone I have to help. There was someone lying on the road, few metres behind me. I started to run, my legs moved without me making them do so. I stopped right beside the human. It's a boy, he looks about my age. I sat down beside him. He is badly injured. I pulled his head into my lap, I couldn't make out his appearance. I started to cry, I didn't know why. His eyes opened, he was staring into my face, even with no light around I could see that his eyes are dark brown, with a hint of red, his eyes showed sorrow,sadness but happiness as well. I was crying hysterically now, it was like I knew this boy.He lifted his hand and touched my hair. "I love you and I always will" he said....
"Leah? Leah come on wake up!?! Oh come on Leah Eva Brown, don't make me get a cold water and pour it on you" Kyra was shaking me wildly.
I opened my eyes. Kyra didn't stop with the shaking, I guess she didn't notice that I was awake.
"Okay, okay, I'm awake" She stopped shaking me. I pulled my self up on the seat. My ipod was turned off. I'm sure that Kyra did it, when I fall asleep with an ipod, she turns it off, she says it's not good for my ears.
"Oh my, it's really a hard work to wake you up. You slept the whole way" Kyra got up from her seat.
"You mean we're there already?" I asked quickly looking out of the window. The school was practically a castle in the middle of the forest. There were lots of students outside. They were dressed in uniforms. Oh my please let this be a dream, I don't want to wear a uniform.
Then dream came back to me. I shivered. I pushed it quickly to the back of my mind.
"Come on Leah, I'm supposed to lock the bus" Kyra said and went outside. I grabbed my back pack and ipod and followed her.
Our luggage was standing beside the mini bus. Kyra locked the bus and with a big grin she led the way for me.
I hate this, I'll be a new student yeah I can live with that but not in the middle of October, I'll have to catch up with the work they've done so far.
I pulled the luggage behind me and walked slowly, trying to make the best of the few seconds, of freedom I have. Kyra wasn't walking she was practically jumping. Everyone was looking at me, and then whispering something to other people around them. It seems like I'm going to be a quite big of an attraction to them, like a new toy, that they want to play with.
