Short Story : ' The Clock Of Rain Drops Hitting The Window '

Monday morning Maddie woke up a little after six thirty. It was clear to her that she would be late but she didn't really care. There was so much going on. She spent most of her shower wondering what was going on with Elijah and his siblings. Quickly, she got dressed in a white blouse that had opened shoulders, skinny jeans and her white converse shoes. She got her stuff before leaving the house quickly. By the time she was driving away from Starbucks, first period had begun but she didn't really care.

Deej Logan was just like any normal high school girl. She woke up on her first day of school and combed her hair, picked out the “perfect” outfit and headed out the door. What she didn’t know is that after that day nothing would be the same. Nothing that day seemed to be going right. At school drama was swarming all around her, not exactly what she hoped the first day would be like. By the time the last bell of the day rang she was more than happy to get out of that school. She drove home as quickly as she could but as soon as she got home she realized that she had forgotten to pick up her sisters. “Great.” She thought sarcastically as she sat back down in her car and drove off. Just then she pulled out her phone to message one of her friends about her awful day. That one decision changed everything. Before she had a chance to send the message Deej veered off into oncoming traffic and was killed on impact.

Scarlett awoke to the sound of her alarm and a pounding at the door, "Turn that blasted thing off!" her aunt Beatrice bellowed from the other side. Groggily, Scarlett sat up and groped around her side table for the alarm clock. She shut it off and sat in place for a few seconds to collect her bearings. Scarlett swayed slightly as she stood from the bed and walked slowly towards her door, noting the fact that her aunt was gone, she headed to the bathroom. Doing routine things like; peeing, brushing her teeth, and combing her hair into two pigtails at the sides of her head. She then headed back to her room and dressed for school in her white tank top and red hoodie. Grabbing her ipod, headphones, and school bag she sat down at the front door

TreVon was rushing to get out the door. He knew if he missed the buss one more time he was going to be in big trouble. He’s older brothers Luther and Jaron never favored him anyway. So they did not care if he missed the bus. TreVon was very smart kid but he wanted to be cool so he did not care about his grades. The boy's mother worked 13 hour shifts at a old mill house. His mother Mary did not like TreVon outside during the late hours of the night. Today was the day he probably wished he

There had been enough time for something to change but almost everything was the exact same. Again Rye found herself travelling on a bus to go search for something, now knowing her brother is in fact dead she wasn 't exactly sure if what she was searching for was real. The only difference was that she now had the weight of two pre-teens. She felt it best for them to be as cautious as she had been while travelling around a decade ago. Each child had their own piece to communicate what their name was without using their words, it’s safer. Sitting on these benches Rye looked at them, the girl was the spitting image of her dead mother long curly dirty blond hair, a button nose, freckles, green eyes, and the perfect height for her age. Her was brother only slightly taller, with a darker skinned tone, and features almost exactly the opposite of his sister. The only feature similar was their hair texture. Rye would never admit this to anyone but there were times like the present that she regrets the events leading up to this very moment. The deja vu of running away except this time with hope.

A small raindrop not only accumulating speed and density but also dirt as it slid down the window of the incredibly tiny four-door that my aunt hadn't washed in a while as it seemed. The drop had reached an ample size and had a plentiful amount of dust and grim as it glided on to the front side of the handle and finally came into contact with my hand in what seemed like my last moments of freedom which I had only attained after leaving my session. The cool air from the vents was blasting powerfully against my cheek as I checked what my Aunt Avery was doing and of course, she was staring directly at me waiting to see what I had to say about my experience.

Abigail Jay stood in front of the school on the rain drenched steps, rocking on her heels. She was waiting for Jimmy, her uncle to close the shop for ten minutes to come and get. Most of the other students had already left from the campus once the last bell rang, they booked it. Abigail was use to waiting for Jimmy, it wasn’t uncommon for him to be late and if anything she’d be worried if he was on time. Abigail tangled with the pull strings of her hoodie, an excited smile on her face.

Carly’s mom tries to talk to her and tells her “it won’t be all bad you will have a new stepbrother your age” Carly didn’t like that very much her mom continued “his name is Kevin Lazarus and he’s going to be your brother so get over yourself” When Carly hears that name she’s hoping it’s not the Kevin from the cafe and inside she’s having a mini heart attack and screams “GET OUT’”. Carly stays in her room upset and refuses to come out all day it’s already 9:00pm and Carly starts to get tired and dosses off when she opens her eyes the suns out and her alarm clock says 7:05am she has five minutes to et ready and head to the bus

She woke up everyone else. "Hey guys, we're going job hunting, if any of you want to tag along, get up and get dressed." She said, and of course, everyone just went back to sleep. She rolled her eyes, walking back downstairs. "Alright, lets get going." She said, smiling slightly.

Autumn Burrow  lived with her mother and father in an old wood cabin 15 minutes outside of the nearest town. They lived a casual life where her mother and father loved her dearly and they both worked average jobs at the family owned restaurant. Autumn is a popular girl with a few close friends but she talks to everyone. With high school starting in less than a year her parents have allowed her to stay home alone during their annual trip to Maine.

Elle’s mother sleeps in much later now with father’s gradual absence. The day was still young, fresh like the dew on the ground, and Elle figured she still had some time to leave the house. She opened her bedroom window, struggled a bit to lift her tiny legs over and out the window, but she managed. She walked to the bus stop and got on the bus

After the Banions left, Cassie helped her Mother with the dishes, and then kicked off her shoes and spent the rest of the evening with “Raindrops “It was only a week ago that she wrote it and yet so much had happened in that week. So she read it over and over but that didn’t help for she was still confused. The

“Don’t forget to get up, Ben. You can’t be late again, or you’ll get suspended. You can take Morgan’s car. I’ll see you later, okay?” I leaned over and patted him on the head. He groaned loudly. I stepped out of the room and down the hall to Morgan’s room. I knocked on the door. I already heard her moving around inside. In extreme contrast to Ben, she always got up early. She claimed she got more out of the day when she got up before 6:30. “Morgan,” I said through the door. She opened the door and poked her head out. I could see that she was already fully dressed and showered.
