The Beginning

Hi my name is Freya Graham, and I am a monster. I don't know why but when I'm sad, the weather seems to get gloomier, but when I'm happy the weather matches my mood, it's almost as if I can control the weather, but of course that only happens in books and movies. I am currently 14 years old, I have no family or friends, I don't even have a boyfriend. As far as I know I've been alone my entire life, no one to take care of me, no one to hang out with me...Nothing, and I don't know why that is. I don't remember ever having a family, I only remember my name and how old I am, I mean of course I know the basic life skills, and I know I have to go to school, but what's the point, I feel like I already know everything they are teaching and I can already do it better than them, I'm a straight A student, yet I have no friends, I spend all of my free time listening to music and avoiding eye contact with everyone. I think I am ugly and gross because everytime I try to talk to anyone or even make eye contact, everyone runs away or acts like I'm not there. When I look in the mirror I think I look normal except for my eyes, I have two different colored eyes, one is green and the other is blue. When I go to sleep I feel strange, like something is going through me, but I don't know if it's just a dream, because when I wake up it's gone. I have a really nice home to sleep in, I don't know where I got it but I've always slept here ever since I can remember. It's as if everyone is afraid of me because when I raise my hand up in class everyone thinks I am going to do something drastic, even the teachers are afraid of me. I spend most of my time in the library because no one ever goes there, there's not even a librarian there, which if you ask me is totally strange. Anyway that is pretty much everything that happens to me ever. O and for some reason I never seem to change, like most girls get pimples all over their face, I don't, and some girls sweat... I don't do that either and I have no idea why. I just hope you will enjoy my story.

 

Monday morning...

 

(Freya's POV)

"Another day of school, another day of being ignored" I said to myself "I guess I should watch the news, I have to see if I'll need to take an umbrella to school today"

"Today will be all sun, not a cloud in the sky" The weatherman said

"Great, guess I'll walk to school today" 

I don't live that far away from school, just about a 5 minute walk from my house to school.

I walked out of the living room after I watched the weather forecast and went upstairs to take a shower. I looked at the time on my clock

"hmm only 5:00 I have a few hours, guess I should find something nice to wear today"

I went to my closet, it wasn't a big closet, just enough to fit all my clothes in, I picked out a blue tank top, a black over the shoulder shirt to go over my tank top, a pair of black skinny jeans, matching black bra and underwear, and black and blue high tops

"Perfect, now I have to take a shower"

I went to my bathroom and got out my strawberry scented shampoo and conditioner, also my watermelon body wash and put it right next to my shower, then I got out of my pjs and got in the shower, I put in the shampoo first then I washed it out, I put in the conditioner next and let it sit for a little bit while I used my body wash, after I was done with my body wash I washed it off, and washed out the conditioner, then I got out, I didn't bother with a towel because I wanted to air dry today since I got up early enough. I went into my room again and went to my vanity, I plugged in my flat iron and my curling iron then I got out my black lip stick and clear lip gloss, I aslo got out my black eye shadow. I checked to see if my irons were done, they weren't quite yet, so I decided to put my clothes on first. After I did that, I put on my makeup and finally my irons were done so I used the flat iron first, then I curled the ends of my hair, not like anyone would notice anyway. Finally I was done and it was only 7:20, so I went back into my bathroom and brushed my teeth. After I was done with that I put all of my stuff in my messenger bag and took off for school. I got there hoping not to see anyone yet... Guess I'm never that lucky.

"Hey it's the ugly monster" One popular girl said, I think her name is Nicole

"Haha, look I think she's trying to look cute" another one said, her name is Chloe, I think

"Does the little monster have a crush?" Brianna said in a little kid voice, she's the most popular girl in school

"N..no" I stuttered out

"O really, then why are you all dressed up?" Chloe said

"Do you have somewhere to go?" Nicole said

"Y..yes"

"O do you now?" Brianna asked

"Y..yes"

"And where might that be" she asked again

"Class" I said and then ran away from them

"Wait, monster girl, you dropped your fangs hahahahaha" They all laughed at me as I ran

They embarrased me, I think I liked it better when they ignored me

I ran until I was safely in the library, and then I just sat in a corner, pulled my feet up to my chest and cried. I can't believe I stayed that long by them, I should've known better, I should've just ran away so much sooner.

I heard the door open, I figured it was just the wind pushing the old creaky doors open and closed like it normally does, But then I heard footsteps, I didn't move from where I was, I figured if I stayed in the dark corner whoever it was would just think no one was here and leave, but I guess I'm still not that lucky

"Hey um...I...I saw you run in here...could you...could you please come out? A male voice asked

He sounds...scared. 

I slowly and quietly moved out of the corner and walked slowly to the small light that shined in

"Hi, my name is Chase" He held his hand out for me to shake but I jumped instead because of the sudden movement

"h...hi" I said still afraid

"What's your name?" He said softly

"Fre....Freya"

"That's a unique name"

"It's the name of a monster" I said and walked back to my corner, sat down and started crying again. Just then I heard thunder and then I saw lightning light up the library

"I don't think it's the name of a monster, I think it's the name of you Freya" He said with a smile

That made me smile a little, what?!? the rain stopped

"Hey look at that the rain stopped" He said happily, but then his mood changed from happy to scared in a matter of seconds

"W..what?"

"d...did y..you d..do t..that?"

"no, I don't think so"

"I think you did, you... you freak" he said and started walking away 

but before he could get very far the lighting came back and it started raining harder, the wind was blowing and it shut the library door

He..he call..called me a... a freak

I was crying, but I don't know why, I wasn't sad I was angry 

"Why would you call me that, it's not like I can control the weather and even if I could that would be crazy because that kind of stuff only happens in movies and books"

"Then can you explain to me why it started raining when you started crying?" He said "Or maybe when you smiled, the sun came out?"

"No I can't explain it because I don't know what happened"

 "Well then..."

He went to the door and tried to open it

"What did you do to the door?"

"I didn't do anything to it"

"Then why won't it open"

"Maybe it's jammed shut from when the wind blew it shut"

"Well then think of something to make the wind blow again and open it"

"I don't know how to do that"

"Great your useless"

He keeps calling me names, why is he so mean? 

"You were so nice and now your so mean, why?"

"Because you can control the weather, but you are out of control"

"How do you know all of this?"

"Because... I can control the elements" He said

"prove it" I said 

 He did something with his hands and then his eyes changed from brown to gold and the wind started blowing really hard then the wind came in and blew the door open.

"Convinced now?" He said and looked at me

I was convinced but I was scared so I walked away slowly, just in case he might hurt me and went back to my corner, but this time it wasn't so I could cry it was so I could hide from him, I was afraid he would hurt me... Is this what everyone sees in me, is this why they are all afraid of me?

"Wait don't be afraid of me" He said walking towards me

"Stop get away from me"

"I can't"

"Why not, your a freak...a monster"

"I'm sorry, but I can't leave you, you're my assignment"

"I'm your what!"

"My assingment...there are more of us out there and they want me to make sure you don't mess everything up"

"I thought you were going to be my friend, I thought you were going to be the only one who wasn't afraid of me, but I'm just an assignment to you?"

"Wait Freya, it's not what it sounds like"

"Really? It's not what it sounds like? I think it's exactly what it sounds like, Chase! Is chase even your real name or did you just make that up? You know what don't even answer that... I have to get to class"

"Freya wait, please" He grabbed my arm

"No chase, let me go"

"Not until you listen to me"

"I'm late for class"

"Just let me explain"

"Chase"

"No just please"

"Fine, after school meet me in front of school"

"Thank you freya"

"Whatever" 

I walked out of the library and started trying to forget about that horrible confrontation with chase.

 

The truth

 

After school 

 

"Hey"

"Now explain to me why you lied to me"

"Ok, but can we walk and talk, I don't want to expose the secret in front of the entire school"

"Ok we can walk to my house"

We started walking"

"Now talk" I said trying to speed things up

"Geez, right to the point"

"Well I want to get this over with so I never have to talk to you ever again"

"Why do you hate me so much, we just met"

"No the way we met was you trying to be nice to me, but turning into such a jerk when
