Ficlets

upsidewards chapter 1

It all started backwards and upside down. If thats even possible i mean. see, i never wanted trouble. not once.I wasnt like those other kids who ran around playing cops&robbers and hopping some mythical world will appear in there closet so they can travel there and save everyone. all i ever wanted was a normal, quiet, grilled cheese and glasses of milk childhood.
so of course i ended it up with anything but.
It started in fifth grade, after a HUGE fight I had with Tyler Jones, who had been my best friend for SEVEN years. the second after i stormed away, walking home on my own instead of riding the bus with him, when a dark blue convertible drove up.
“Hey hon,” A sweet female voice called. “Wanna ride?” now dont worry, i was smart, and i knew better then to accept a ride from a stranger, so i took off running towards my house, while the lady drove alongside, trying to coax me in to her car.
ever since that day i havent been able to go anywhere alone with out a car pulling up, trying to get me in.
