Kiss me if you Dare by Anna S. (best e book reader for android txt) 📕

{Preface}

            “Elsa! Stop arguing with me. No is No!” My mom keeps demanding me to understand something that she, herself, doesn’t. I hate this. I looked out the car window and then at her blond hair, not able to visualize her face.

            “Mom, you know he’s not that bad. I love him!”  I bragged.

            “He smokes, does drugs, and he has really changed you, Elsa. Don’t you see it?”

            “I hate you, mom. You can’t expect me to stop seeing him. No matter what you say or do, I’m still going to see him.” I say ignoring her question completely. My mother doesn’t understand that Mike is my first love. He treats me right, and never forgets me. I gave him my everything, and every night he calls me. He may smoke and do drugs but at least he didn’t make me take one. I tried one on my own will and even though I came home drunk and hangover one time doesn’t mean it was his fault.

            “Even if we move back to Norwalk? How are you going to see him, Elsa? You’re fourteen, he’s seventeen. He is not right for you, so stop arguing with me. I’m trying to protect you, and trying to tell you that he’s not right for you, and if you don’t be careful I may end up a grand---”

            “Hey dad! Please talk some sense into mom!” I say as pull out my sketch up changing the subject because right now my mom is being obnoxious. My dad looks back at me. Then a light came towards the car, when my dad turned around he saw a big truck honking at us to get out the way. Dad turns the car so fast he looses control. Quickly the car strikes off the road making us flip into the woods.

            “Mom! Dad!” I yelled with hope as the car flips off the road and into the trees. As we flipped my mom is calling my name and my dad is reaching for her hand. A spilt second after that everything becomes a blur.

            I opened my eyes slowing seeing a light from the road. I looked forward as my parent’s hands are joined together loosely. I can’t move a muscle, when I looked back a person was walking down the hill to our car.

            “Mom?” I whispered. “Dad?” Tears rushed down my face with still hope that some what there still alive. But when they don’t respond I cried and cried in till everything became a blur of darkness.

{Chapter 1}

      It’s been three years since I’ve escaped the scientists. I found my sister, Catherin, but she doesn’t know what happened. Mom and dad died on the car accident I was on, before they found me. They call me scientific runaway, I escaped the testing and all the weird things they were doing to me. They left me with weird powers that normally I can’t control. But now I know how to.

             “Elsa?” Catherin popped her head on my doorway.

             “Yeah?” I turned back, my dark brown hair followed.

            “You’re going to be late for school. Hurry, I got to leave for work.” She warned.   “Alright, I’ll be right down.” I responded. She nodded and popped her head out disappearing in the narrow doorway. I took lupine in my hands and gently crushed it in the granite mortar as the juice built up and gently poured it in my half-filled cup of water with a hint of lemon as I picked it up and drank it. Lupine flowers are known to have healing and otherworld communication properties, I don’t quite understand how it works but it helps me keep ME in control.

Shortly after, I picked up my bag that was on the floor and walked out of the room. Catherin was drinking her coffee, at the sight of me, she pointed towards the banana and the orange juice on the table. I picked up the banana walking towards the exit door.

            “You know you can use some orange juice.” She walks behind with her purse on the hand.

            “I don’t like orange juice.” I replied.

            “That’s impossible. You loved orange juice.” She enters her car and smashes her door harshly before I entered and sat next to her. I didn’t reply to what she had said instead I sat there with my arms crossed.

            “What happened to you? It just seems like you’re a different person then what you used to be.” I could tell that she was coming back to the conversation we talked about the time I appeared at her door. Ever since than, she’s been trying to know what exactly happened that night. FACT: I don’t know what happened. I only know is that I was being tested by people who told me that I was safe and soon going home. I also knew that I am different then what I used to be. Very different.

            “I’m sorry; I don’t remember what happened to me.” I lied.

            “I know, I’m the one trying to get you to remember. I’m sorry.” She says taking a turn at the traffic light on our way to school.

            “It’s okay.” I say looking down at my bare hands.

            “Call me if you need anything.” She says when we reached school. The sucky part of all this is that I am still forced to attend high school. I attended Norwalk High School on a small town of Ohio.  I looked at her and smiled.

            “Okay.” I say closing the door behind me.

            “I love you.” She says lightly.

            “Love you too.” I mumbled and walked towards school. It’s been three years I’ve been in this high school. Nothing in this school seems to be interesting. I reached my locker urging myself to open it quickly before getting to class.

             “Elsa!” I jumped at the sound of my name. Lucy quickly laughs as I looked at her strangely. Connor comes behind her, also laughing.

            “Hey guys.” I say taking some books from my locker.

            “Okay, so my seventeen birthday is coming up. I thought of doing a party, but, not sure if I should invite the whole cheerleading squad and the football players or just some people.” She says with a pen and a notebook slid open on her hand.

            “I know!” She continues and starts writing on her open notebook.

            “She’s been excited about this for three months now.” Connor admits as he passed his fingers through his soft blond hair.

            “I know.” I smiled lightly.

            “What happened Saturday, why didn’t you come to the get together at my place?” He looked into my blue eyes while I stared at his.

            “Um, I was busy.” Planting lupines in my backyard. I said finishing the rest inside my mind. The bell ranged loud against my ears as I closed my locker and walked to class. Another side effect from the powers I have gained, super hearing. Each time the bell rings it feels like nails scratching against a chalkboard.

            “Tonight, were having a football game, you should come. After that, we’re going out.” He starts the conversation. The weirdest and ironic part of my high school years is that I’m friends with a cheerleader, and a quarterback from the football team. Both popular and me, nothing. No one ever noticed me, ever even noticed me talking to them or even being their friend for the past three years. Connor pulled his hand behind his neck and looked at me.

            “Okay, I’ll think about it.” I smiled entering English class. I sat down, as usual, at the end. Connor sits down on the seat in front of me. English isn’t my favorite subject and other than that I kept my mouth shut the entire period.

            When it came to lunch, Connor, Lucy and I sat down the round table with some football players and cheerleaders. I picked up my sandwich and took a bite of it. Everyone laughs at a silly jokes Jack, a tall dude with green eyes, who simply has no idea how unfunny his jokes can be. It is a torture to sit down at this table everyday.

            The bell rings once again. Finally, lunch’s over. I rushed out of my seat and walked towards the garbage. As I reach the trash can, I see a piece of glass on the floor as a vision appears out of the blue. Sometimes I have visions. They come and goes as they pleased and I never have control over them.

 Ugh, I hate these visions, sometimes I can see the future and the past but never the present. This time, I can tell it was a past vision as I see people at a dinner party in the 1800s. Women in long dresses with their hands over their corsets talking amongst themselves. Just as the vision comes in it disappears.

After the bell rings, I walked to Chemistry still a little bit dizzy from my vision. As I was walking, I looked down opening my notebook to make sure my notes and my homework was still inside. I shuffle through the pages before I end up hitting something. Hard. My papers flew in the air and my body along with it. Realizing I hit someone, I become frustrated. Didn’t the bell ring like minutes ago? What is this idiot doing in the halls? I think to myself before looking up as the stranger I just walked into began picking up the papers from the ground.

“Sorry.” He says grabbing onto loose papers on the ground.  

            “It’s fine.” I tell him snatching the papers from his hands. I quickly glanced at him before rushing down the hall re-checking my papers to see if they were still all there.

            In Chemistry I was the only one without a partner. I was okay with it because honestly I kind of liked it. I sat at my seat studying for tomorrow’s test before the teacher decides on what was important to review. A few minutes later I hear what sounded like footsteps stepping against the marble floor of the classroom. I looked up, seeing black leather boots on top of dark black jeans. There stood a boy, with dark features and brown dark curls. His brown eyes were in the direction of the teacher. He held a notebook and a pen in his hands. When I finally recognized him, I tilted my head down. Not him! I think to myself realizing this was the same boy I bumped into in the halls. I am sure of it. I quickly glanced down at my notes trying to avoid eye contact.

            “You must be Seth Parker. Correct?” I hear Mr. Clark ask as pulled his glasses up.

 Seth nods.

            “Class this is Seth Parker, he transferred from biology.” He says loudly. “You can take a sit next to Elsa McCoy.”

            Oh no! I say in my head. I hear him walk across the classroom as he takes a seat next to me. He shifts on his seat before getting himself comfortable. My eyes still looking down at my notebook, I feel his eyes on me. I glanced up at him and smiled lightly without saying a word.

            “I’m Seth by the way.” He smirks pulling his hand up.

            “Elsa.” I say shaking his hand softly before letting go.

            “You’re new right?” He asked.

            “Uhh… no. I’ve been here pretty much since freshman year.” I smiled looking everywhere but his eyes. “You?” I questioned him.

            “I moved here last year. Strange, I haven’t seen you around at all.” He pulls his hand to his chin.

            “Yea, I’m not really popular here.” I smirked. He chuckles underneath his breath looking up at me. I noticed he has dimples on the side
