Into The Brook (1) I started running up the driveway, but the rocks from the gravel were digging into the soles of my uncovered feet. My breathing hastened, and the blood from my feet trailed behind me. I was getting nauseous, but I had to keep going, there was no stopping now. Chapter 1- Restless Nights "Avery, Avery Summers?" My teacher's voice boomed across the classroom, as if everybody were sitting at least twenty feet away. Reluctant to use my voice to interact with him, I simply raised my hand and resumed looking out the rain drenched window. "Ah, mute as usual Miss Summers." And with that simple recognition, he went back to calling role. This isn't my first time going through high school. I just go through the motions, reciting memorized materials until I 'graduate', then wait a year or two and move to a new town or state, and on rare occasion a new country if they allow. This is my third time being reassigned to North America. I miss Finland, they never assigned pesky 'homework', and I actually got retaught things that I haven't heard in a while. They also have only hire teachers with masters degrees, and among those only the ones who represented the top of the class. What I would give to be back in Finland... "Avery, you awake?" Tasha, one of my 'friends', was trying to communicate with me, but I have no desires to talk with her. She is a blonde, who dyed her hair a vibrant red. She has hazel eyes, about 5'3, so very short for her age of 15 and a half, blood type B positive, and has had more sex then your classic 'hooker'. These are just the kind of things that they request that I know about the people I converse with, even if only three words are shared between us. "Yeah, Beni, I'm awake." I answered. I 'fondly' use her last name instead of the first. Tasha Nicole Beni is a person that they have requested I kill.
