 made myself comfortable in the back seat, stuffed a pillow under my head, and allowed myself a few hours of sleep, after all, this was going to be a long drive.

When I woke up a few hours had passed, and we stopped briefly at a rest stop where I ate and drank something. Then we drove straight on.

Since I was bored and I didn't really know what to do with my time, I pulled out my cell phone and called my 'best' friend Lacey, who finally answered after the fourth ring.

"Apryl?"

"Hey, Lacey."

"Where the hell are you right now? You should be on your way to Phoenix with me by now. Have you had any difficulties?" 

"No, the only problem is that I'm not going to Phoenix because I ..."

"WHAT? You're not coming to Phoenix? Why?" She interrupted me angrily.

"I was just about to say that. I'm going to Montana, to another college, it's called Rosewood and it's supposed to be quite good."

At the other end it was very quiet. Had she hung up? It was really very quiet. That was unusual for her, because otherwise she chattered continuously to herself.

"Still there?" I asked after two minutes.

"Rosewood?" She finally croaked, sounding like an old woman about to die of thirst.

"Yes why?"

“Because I applied to this college myself before I even thought about Phoenix, I just wasn't accepted. They just don't know what's good. "

"Oh," I said, what else should I say? That I was sorry? That wouldn't have been the truth.

"Can I hang up now?", Lacey finally asked, annoyed.

"Uh ... yes", a little surprised that she wanted to hang up again so quickly.

And then all I heard was the beeping at the other end, and I put my cell phone aside. It's really nice to know that Lacey just hung up as soon as she found out that we wouldn't see each other for the time being. I had planned to go to Phoenix, but since I didn't know anyone there except Lacey, I might as well stay on Rosewood High. My escape plan would probably have petered out anyway.

After another, half an eternity, the landscape changed and became a bit hilly, the trees stood closer together and the leaves shimmered in autumn colors.

Occasionally you saw a few huts, or even houses if you like. But there was no longer any sign of a town or a village.

    Did you actually listen to me?" It came from June."Huh?" I made absently. Since I had been somewhere else with my thoughts, I unfortunately could not fully listen to her."The ball ..." June said slowly and looked at me in disbelief."You're telling me that you haven't listened at all for the last two hours? Then I'll have to explain everything again," June groaned annoyed."So it was about that Halloween party, right?""Exactly. We need real costumes, something original. No Twilight nonsense and no discounter scraps.""Okay, okay," I said, holding up my hands soothingly.She told me all over again, leaving no details out, and telling me what she had heard from the party last year. Of course she hadn't even been to school then, but she had asked around a little, as she also told me. At some point I ignored some of what she was telling me because she spoke without a period.She cheered excitedly, and I really wonder

    closed my eyes, wondering if this was a tactic to get me around or if it was just for concentration."Okay, what are you feeling right now?"I listened curiously inside myself and tried to find out what I was feeling. There was just ... nothing."Nothing at all."I could literally hear him put on such a smug smile again, yes yes, read that right, heard! Suddenly I felt warm breath on my skin and shortly afterwards warm, soft lips on mine. My brain was switched off, I had stopped thinking, that apparently wasn't too difficult for me.At first I stiffened, then I kissed back. Thinking wasn't an option right now. He pulled away from me again and I opened my eyes. I was shocked, excited, angry - furious - and well, I was seething inside me."And what are you feeling now?" He asked me and grinned at me.I would have loved to slap myself because I had actually fallen for him. That bullshit. I probably had to show him where the hammer

  • Welcome To The Mystery Land   Misheard?

    What actually happened? I just remember how all the devices flew through the air," I said, thinking of the little tornado that had swept through the room."That wasn't the machine, honey. It was you," Lucian told me.I just skipped over the 'sweetness', I really didn't feel like arguing, and above all no energy. Should I now claim damages, or what exactly did he mean by that? I wasn't Bruce Almighty after all, was I? Maybe the tornadoes were one of my skills?"We believe that your ability is the element of air. Every millennium exactly four of us are born with elements. This is actually quite unusual as each ability of us is unique. Each other's abilities are sometimes repeated over the millennia, however it is never exactly the same, but rather a facet of it. However, the elements are repeated more or less regularly and those who have these abilities mostly perform some miracles. Caesar was also one of us gifted. He ruled the element earth, that was carved in s

    Damien pulled the metal thing down a little further in front of my face and then put it on me like glasses. It even had temples like this and I was kind of forced to look through them.Then he fastened my arms and legs with leather straps and tested them again to make sure that they were really tight enough."How long does it usually take?" I asked him.I was a little intimidated by this device. Most of all, I was worried that I was buckled up like a convict. I couldn't move either, I'd already tried that."It depends," Damien muttered."And for what?""You will see."Damien went to the door and locked it so that it was now pitch dark. This room had no windows or lamps and every second it only got more creepy.The nerdy, whose name I still didn't know, squealed like a cornered guinea pig. I hadn't noticed that she was still in the room. What was she doing here? That wasn't a cinema."Okay, let's go", with the

    Yeah ... he's just as hot as Damien. I would say it's a matter of taste," June said and her thoughts were probably somewhere else."Probably more of an aberration of taste. His ego really needs to be rubbed down like the one on it. He probably expects every female being to adore him and -""It's Damien, after all. I mean ... it's Damien!"A few people turned to us and grinned knowingly before moving on."June, I think we have to go back to class," I said as the corridor was now emptying faster and faster."What a bummer, next we have skills. Come on now!" June suddenly said impatiently to me and pretended to be texting her the whole time.We went to the said subject in a hurry. I was relieved to find that Teacher wasn't there yet. We were in a gym or something like that.The entire gym was made of metal, except for the floor and windows, and security devices that stood around. First aid kits were attached to a wall every two meters, t

    Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep ..."Where's that goddamn alarm clock?" I growled half asleep.Rest, finally. June had turned the alarm off. Why did my mornings always start with the high-pitched ringing of an alarm clock?"Shit! It's almost half past seven!" She shouted, shocked, and literally jumped out of bed.Now my lazy bum started moving too, I threw back the covers and put on my pink plush slippers.I shuffled into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. You could call me a scarecrow, my hair was completely knotted and I had dark circles.I owed the dark circles to the horror films yesterday evening - or rather today in the morning.I fought my way through my hair with my brush and after what felt like hours I had untied it. A little shocked, I looked at my brush. I hair like a dog or some other creature.I smacked a little more powder on my face, or rather on the dark circles, and smeared the edges with my index finger.
