Here's the first part of chapter 1. Please take note that it is not finished.

The cool night breeze blew my silky black hair away from my face. I knew that the sun would be coming up soon but that didn’t bother me. The tree branch creaked under my feet as I shifted from one hip to the other. I smiled as the seven foot tree held its ground. I had climbed up here at about four this morning. You could say that I’m kind of an insomniac, but that’s putting it bluntly. I never really slept at night nor the day. Just too much to do I guess. My life has been complicated for a while now. I just moved to a little town in Florida from New York about two months ago. So I have yet to start this semester of classes. New York was very fast paced and I couldn’t take it anymore. People always wanting to know where you are and what your plans are for this weekend. So me and my family moved, and since then we have been getting things unpacked and ready for the school year ahead. I’m going to be a senior this year so no more school for me. But that is what I keep saying.
My family and I move often. We move, my sister and I start a new school. But this time I’m staying here and graduating. At least I hope. The tree creaked more. Well I believe it would since I was on a branch about two stories in the air. It wasn’t that tall of a tree. Pretty tall for any human. I let my mind wander about how my ‘first day of school’ would go. Always being the new kid got tiresome. But at least it was my last time, well till college. I looked at my watch and smiled. Anytime now my sister, Tabitha, would be coming to get me ready for school. What she didn’t know is that I was ready.
“Derek!” There it was. My sister’s voice cried out my name. “Where the hell are you?” Once more, she was in a hurry. I jumped down from the branch and hit the ground. My knees bended and I stood up straight. I could hear her loud footsteps. She was wearing her converse, again. I was just wearing normal shoes. Skater ones. Very popular.
“Damn it boy. If you don’t get home in the next 5 seconds I’m gonna…”
“What? Cut my hair off and give me a make over?” I said in a very smart ass way.
“Oh shut up. Lets go.” she said with her sweater in one hand and her purse pulled over a shoulder. She carried a folder and there for had no use for a backpack. Unlike me. I hid things in my backpack. Don’t ask what. That’s a secret. I grabbed my bag and walked out the door with my keys to my Toyota truck. Not too flashy but that wasn’t the point. It got the job done and that’s all I cared about.



If you like it, just please ask me to finish it.
