"Would you just hurry up, Kai?! We'll be late!" I hissed, pushing on my red, one inch high-heels. It's the max that James Crawford High School.
"So?" He replied, shrugging. His brown hair fell into the milk, concealing the golden part from view. He ate his cereal One. Grain. At. A. Time.
I wanted to pull his hair out. Instead, I just took his bowl and splashed it into the sink, my ears as red as my hair, seething with anger.
"Hey, I wasn't done!" He hissed, golden eyes flashing with surprised anger.
"Now you are."
He groaned, grabbing his icky bag. Me? I grabbed a totally in-fashion, big side-strap purse. The color matched my eyes, a nice chocolate brown.
I walked from our Victorian-styled home and into our old, worn-out sedan with a sigh. I was only 10,000$ away from that new race car-looking one. Only 10,000$.
Next thing I knew, after about fifteen minutes of traffic (in which Kai was cursing out all of the other stupid drivers) we could see the school. It was the sort of thing you expect to see in a book. A huge, brick complex with ivy crawling up the sides. I swung Mom's old car into the first spot, before dashing out. Today was practice for our play, Pirates.
The inside of the building was no different than the outside. It was old-fashioned and a tad run down.
"Kara, where have you been, girl?" Cried one of my friends as I was swallowed by a huge hug.
"Kai wouldn't get up."
"Oh. Kai." She said, backing away.
"Why, you have a problem with him, Daniella?"
She shook her head. "Can I trust you?"
"Of course!"
"I... well..." She moved her lips really close to my ear. "I sorta like him."
I giggled uncontrollably. "You like K-"
"Shh!" She replied. "Well, anyways, Mr. Tanner'll have our butts if we don't get back to practice."
I nodded, following her as she ran, the click-clack or our heels making a wondrous sound.

"Kai, where are you?" I called outside, sweaty from wearing a corset for hours. A huge bird circled overhead of us, like a death omen or something. We needed to get home- it was a weekend practice, and I had to go to work now.
"What? I'm over here." He said, stuffing a pipe sort of thing in his back pocket. A few of his friends followed after him, their pipes still hanging from their mouths. "I gotta go. Sister and all." He said to them. Both boys were about twice his height, yet they thought of him as their master or something.
"Kara, can you give us a ride?" Daniella cried, her sister- who was a freshman- following in suit.
"Sure thing, Dani." I said, giggling as Daniella and Kai caught sight of each other and both looked away.
A deafening cry emerged, making us all cover our ears. We were almost knocked down my a ferocious spurt of wind when something emerged in front of us.
I looked the snorting, ferocious dragon costume up and down.
"Wrong play, Dani." I told her. But she was pale.
And I realized it wasn't a costume.
I began to run before the dragon grabbed me by the chest. I freaked out, squirming and screaming.
"Get away from... sister!" I hears from the ground as the Dragon looked down.
"Conus, can you get those ones? If we bring six, the Elders will be quite pleased. I'll get those." Said something, as the dragon pointed to the girls.
"Run!" I screamed, in hysterics. But the female dragon grabbed the two girls with her other claw before they could take one step.
It's breath was terrible as I drew me up to eye-level. It was cruel, hating, and merciless- I could tell.
"Kai! Kai!" I screamed between crazy sobs. My life was over. This dragon as going to kill me, I was going to die!
My face was soaked when another dragon came up my captor, looking at me.
"Don't you cry, little one." It said. It had yellow-gold eyes and purple scales, an odd concoction. I turned away and sobbed even louder. Partially because the dragon was squeezing me so hard. Partially because I was going to die.
Next thing I knew, the dragon crouched, and took off. My tears flew in the wind behind us, sending a desperate plea for help to anyone who would listen to them.
