The Midnight Sun

Chapter one The cold bit into my skin through the extra-large fur coat. It was usually very cold especially in this part of the country especially up north here in Aroostook but today’up freezing temperatures seemed out of the ordinary. To be very honest, the few days following my seventeenth birthday have seemed pretty out of the ordinary to me.On Monday I woke up in what appeared to me to be an after math of a bath in a cold pool of water. All of my clothes were drenched down to my underwear. I expected my bed to be just as wet so I’d know that it was an after birthday prank that Cole, my little brother, tried to pull. Emphasis on tried . That piece of furniture however was very much dry.Tuesday, things got even creepier. The crows on the tree outside my window kept me up the entire night like some form of nocturnal music concert with the occasional hoot from owls. No matter how tight I cushioned my ears. Their dark music still penetrated.Wednesday I think has been my worst so f

Chapter 3“Oh shit is right cupcake.” Theodore said looking shocked. The bell rang to end lunch break. I didn’t even get to eat. Granted I wasn’t looking forward to the food but I still can’t spend the rest of the day hungry.“Things are about to get interesting.” Selena murmured helping Theodore up to his feet. I noticed just then that she’d not said a word since I pushed Theodore. How am I even sure u pushed him. He must have seen me coming and threw himself on the floor to deceive me. Oh yes Diana, chose denial. How else am I going to explain what happened. The locker, the books? How? This is so frustrating. My life was perfect until this two people walked into it and started to ruin it.“Get away from me!” I shrieked running the other way. Everyone in the hallway turned to look at me. I must seem so crazy to them right now. I don’t care as long as I’m as far away from this people as possible. A witch of all things. I always knew I was different from the rest of my family. My hair

Chapter 5I dragged myself into bed on Sunday’s evening. I believe that I hate Theodore a hundred times worse than I originally did on our first meeting, if it were even possible. ‘You’re doing it wrong’, ‘don’t be a princess’, ‘are you going to cry?’ Gods! I hated him. And the feeling was mutual it seemed. Theodore hated my guts almost as much as I did his, not to my level because, come on, I’m better at everything. He hated me just slightly over average. Selena, god bless her heart, was a total sweetheart, even though meditating didn’t give me any inner peace at all. I was a sweaty mess at the end of everything, needing to learn how to call on my powers and control them was definitely harder than it looked. It took more energy than I thought I would need. She said I was a fast learner, and I usually called on my powers on instinct. She said I was a white flasher or a whatever. It seemed like a really big deal to her. I made it a choice to not pay attention to these things. in my exp

Chapter 7“You know that I don’t have the plague right?” He said. His voice was beginning to sound better. Phew, the sooner he was fine, the sooner I get to leave her and go back to my house. My mom would be upset if I missed my curfew and she wouldn’t let me go for any party again, which was of course the plan. Selena can’t keep ordering me to any coven activities they might have. As fun as it was, I’ll rather stay indoors with PJs, socked feet and a comic book than go out into the open world.“Just hurry up and heal yourself.” I mutter. Selena should be here in my place, attending to her twin brother. “What fight did you get yourself in.”“Are you really that worried Diana? He asked in mock astonishment.“Stop messing with me.” I snap giving him a glare.“If it makes you feel better, it shouldn’t take more than a few more minutes.”“I hope so.” He better. I don’t know why I didn’t just ignore him. He would have been fine without my help anyway.“Do you hate being around me so much?”

Chapter 9While I was driving to school the next morning, I was tempted to stop by the coffee shop, just to get coffee and donuts of course. Definitely not because I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about my exchange with Theodore last night or because I wonder if I would bump into him again before we see each other at school. No that would make me pathetic, and I am not pathetic. I have no idea as to why I couldn’t stop thinking about night skys and crickets or why I was desperately looking forward to being in school today. It was a monday. I should hate mondays. But I didn’t hate today. I was humming a song in the shower and I didn’t even argue with Cole at the breakfast table. I do not remember ever being in such a good mood in the morning. It has never happened, until today that is. I was in a really good mood today. Nothing could upset me.Except that something did upset me. The two people that usually stood by my locker every morning where standing there when I got to school.
