Snippet from Chapter One:
Chapter 1
Kyla sat
a box on the oak dining table. "You can't believe how proud we are of both
of you," Kyla and Fin's mother's, Janit, voice rang throughout the
deserted halls.
Kyla
turned towards the sound. Everyone was already outside, getting another box.
Kyla pivoted towards the door and ran smack into her stepfather. Her stepfather
was a couple years older than Janit, but he looks a lot younger. He had
stick straight black hair that stands straight up, piercing brown eyes, and a
blazing grin that is always shining. His son, Fin, even looked like him. Due to
their parents getting remarried young most of the time the happy family forgot
the prefixes.
Kyla
walked right against his side, trying to sneak out. He turned towards her,
blocking her narrow path.
"Why
don't you take a break?" He asked in a fairly calm voice. His head tilted
almost as if to study her.
Feeling
self-conscious she let some hair fall in front of her face. She didn't trust
herself to speak, due to Arhia's, Kyla's stepfather, piercing blue eyes that
could seem to detect the truth. She instead nodded. He smiled and walked off.
Fin had just unloaded the
humongous amount of skateboards, scooters, and bicycles that they owned.
Skipping over, she grabbed one of the smallest skateboards, and pushed off as soon
as the skateboard touched the ground. The feel of wind rushed her hair, and
made her feel as if she was flying. She heard the familiar sound of Fin's
skateboard as he followed in suit. She smiled to herself. Already, she was
enjoying her new town
