So there I was, probably facing death by itself. I had come that far and it was ruined by some stupid girl who had to join The League. Like, REALLY?! You’re going to mess up the thing I’ve traveled to California for? Allow me to explain the story. Excerpt 1: Silver Shoes It was 6am, and I was just about getting up. My mom was cooking, and the sweet smell of cinnamon bacon filled my nostrils, as well as fluffy eggs and soft waffles. I always imagined it like that. You know, delicious. In reality, my mom is the worst cook ever. It smelled like burnt toast to me, though she was making eggs. I walked downstairs. “Hey Max.” My mom greeted me, gesturing towards the plate. “Thanks…” I picked up a piece of my bacon and threw it on the floor. It made …show more content…

“Cereal sounds better.” “I’ll be going.” I laughed, kissing my mom on the forehead. My family is small and broken. Long ago, my mom was still pregnant with me when my dad left.

Well, not only, kind of hard to talk about my other best friend… Her name was Tia. Tia went missing two years ago on a class field trip to a fun fair. Ryder and I both blacked out on a ride, and when we woke up on a bench Tia was nowhere to be seen. She had been missing for so long and was pronounced “dead” last year, ten months after her disappearance. It was hard for Ryder and I, because she was top of the class, student body president, and still hung out with
