Stranger than Town

Prologue
This town has never changed. Now it’s changing drastically. Not for the better either, but for the worse, everyone in town says it’s just becoming one giant hellhole. With the devil changing it himself. No one knows why and no one knows how or who. All I know is that it’s up to my new friend and me to stop it.


Chapter 1
“Class, we have a new student today,” Miss Chelvokia announced. “Would you like to introduce yourself?” she asked turning to the new student.
“Hi, my name is Luna Armstrong,” she said with complete confidence. And the whole class cracked up, with the exception of me.
“Behave yourselves!” shouted Ms. Chelvokia. “Why don’t you sit next to Elizabeth,” she suggested.
Luna sat down and introduced herself, again, “ I’m Luna Armstrong,” she said offering her hand.
“Elizabeth Dale,” I replied taking her hand.

At lunch instead of sitting by myself, Luna sat with me.
“Your favorite color?” she asked
“Red,” I answered her question, “yours?”
“Blue,” she said, “band?”
“American Rejects.”
“That’s my favorite too!” Luna exclaimed, “What song?”
“It Ends..."
“Tonight!” she finished for me.
“Yeah!” I exclaimed, “Okay, so my turn. Your favorite movie?”
“That’s easy, ‘National Treasure,’” she said.
“I love that movie too! Wow! We have so much in common.”
“I know!”
“Hey, do you want to come over to my house today and listen to music?”
“Sure, I just have to ask my mom. Hold on while I call her, kay?”
“Of course.”

“Hey Mom, do you think I could go over to a friend’s house after school?”
…
“Hold on, I’ll ask,” she said into the phone. “Where do you live?”
“20360 Oak Lane,” I answered her.
“20360 Oak Lane,” Luna repeated to her mom.
…
“Really?”
…
“Okay, thanks Mom, b home at six, ‘kay?”
“She said I can come, and apparently were neighbors.”
“Really?” I asked.
“Yeah, I live at 20362 Oak Lane.”
“Wow! Hey, we better get going.”
“Isn’t school still in session?”
“No, we get out every day after lunch. See?” I said pointing to the leaving students.
“Oh,” she seemed surprised.
