Chapter 1 Ada unfinished High school was never a fun place to be. Everywhere you go, people stare with judgmental looks. Everywhere you go, you are always classified in one of the many stereotypical high school groups. Either you're a jock, prep, hipster, geek, nerd, townie, creeper, average, or loner. Of course, there are always the many subdivisions of those groupings. For example, sneaker-heads and card-players. So within these high school groups, it is often rare to find a person who doesn't belong in any of these groups. It's always one or another. Ada Smith. An average high school girl, with average grades, average skills, and average looks. Perhaps she is simply extraordinarily ordinary. Unfortunately, her family isn't quite so ordinary... --------------------------- Ada! knock knock knock Ada, wake up! It's time! The ruffling sound of blankets overturned filled the room, almost muffling out the sound of the voice calling from behind the door. Ada! The blankets ruffled again before they were violently flipped off the bed. The brunette teen on the bed laid very still until the knocks came again. Okay! I get it! Time to get up! she shouted, sitting up straight and sighed. Oh how she hated this family. Every morning was loud, obnoxious, and always something Ada wanted to avoid. Quickly getting out of bed, she immediately got dressed for school. She made sure her school uniform was on correctly the white dress shirt was tucked into her black plaid skirt her black tie was tied correctly around her neck and tucked under her shirt collar, and she wore her normal white knee socks with black dress shoes. She ran her fingers through her side bangs and untied her hair, leaving it to fall down to her waist in short, soft waves. Satisfied with her look, Ada left her room in a hurry and rushed down the stairs for breakfast. Eyeballs and cats, sweety? a plump woman called from the kitchen counter. She wore a black dress with a pointed Halloween witch hat with a white apron and weird multicolored striped knee socks. No thanks. Just toast. I'll eat it on my way. Ada grabbed her bag and gulped down a glass of warm strawberry milk before she was handed her toast. Taking a bite, she ran out the front door with the toast in one hand, and her bag in the other. The bus ride to the school wasn't so bad. A bit bumpy. A bit rowdy. Overall, not too bad. Getting off, she ignored most of the students that passed by. Just like every other morning, she stopped after taking a few steps away from the bus to look at the school building as a whole before entering the front entrance. As usual, her friend Bonnie taps her right shoulder and says hi, exactly 30 seconds after she walks through the front door. As usual, the jocks are lined up by the lockers lining the halls laughing at everyone they're not friends with. Ada, as usual, just walks by. The day is almost always the same. Go to class, take some notes, leave the class, go to the next, repeat until the end of school. Then, go home. Today, however, is a different story. It is Ada's first field trip in high school since she transferred in as a sophomore. Its destination is a rather infamous site where hundreds of witch trials were held, and where hundreds of witches were burned. Unfortunately, Ada's family is rather big on witchcraft and as a result, she is persuaded, or rather forced, to go on that field trip despite her displeasure and disinterest in the topic.
