Dragon's Century

Chapter 1: Another NORMAL day

Hope y'all like this. I'll try to do as few authors notes as possible and update as often as manageable.
----------------------------------------------------

"Bye, Aunt May!" I shout into the empty Old-Victorian mansion, already knowing that she would not be home, yet again. As I close the mahogany front-door behind me I feel a sense of loneliness wash over me. I bite my lip and blink rapidly to stop my tears from showing.

As I walk down the front steps I turn and glance back at my mansion, the one I got to call my own because I lost anything and everything that had ever mattered to me; the last of my true family and the only ones that had ever cared.

Over the past year and a half I have had one thing proved over and over again; money can only bring temporary happiness and not even true happiness, just the illusion and that is all. All the money in the world can never make someone's loneliness dissipate or cause their heart to fill with joy.

I finish walking down the stairs, along the outstretched driveway, through the keypad locked gate and begin walking left down the sidewalk into town where my school is located. As I walk I pull my black scosche headphones from around my neck and put them over my ears.

Turning on "Cry" by Rihanna I start to quietly sing along as I saunter to school.

I'm not the type to get my heart broken
I'm not the type to get upset and cry
'Cause I never leave my heart open
Never hurts me to say goodbye

Relationships don't get deep to me
Never got the whole 'in love' thing
And someone can say they love me truly
But at the time it didn't mean a thing

My mind is gone, I'm spinnin' round
And deep inside my tears I'll drown
I'm loosin' grip what's happenin'?
I strayed from love, this is how I feel

This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life

Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry

Did it happen when we first kissed?
'Cause it's hurting me to let it go
Maybe 'cause we spent so much time
And I know that it's no more

I should've never let you hold me baby
Maybe why I'm sad to see us apart
I didn't give in to you on purpose
Can't figure out how you stole my heart

My mind is gone, I'm spinnin' round
And deep inside my tears I'll drown
I'm loosin' grip, what's happenin'?
I strayed from love this is how I feel

This time was different
Feel like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life

Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry

How did I get here with you, I'll never know?
I never meant to let it get so, personal
And after all I tried to do, to stay away from loving you
I'm broken hearted, I can't let you know

And I won't let it show
You won't see me cry

This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life

Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry

This time was different
Felt like I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life

Now I'm in this condition
And I've got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry

All my life...

Just as the song comes to an end I reach the front of my small, town high school. I'm in 11th grade and its only been a few weeks since school got back in and it has been pretty hard for me.

It's heart wrenching, hearing all the rumors about my parents and what led up to their death, as well as my baby sister's death, but my mom was only three months pregnant when she died so most never even knew about her.

I notice a clique standing near the right enterance and walk as far towards the left one as I can and pick up my pace.

As soon as I hear them calling out to me, I bite the inside of my cheek so that I can look as emotionless as possible.

"Hey, loner! Where are your parents? What are you supposed to do for parent-teacher-conference day?" Shouts Dylan who is one of many in the clique.

Stacey speaks up from next to him. "Yeah, it's not like you can take that aunt of yours with you to see the teachers about your grades! I bet there is hardly an hour of the day she isn't in Joe's Bar, let alone able to see or walk straight." They all snicker at the comments that have been made and continue to mock me and point at me.

The whole time I don't stop walking and finally make it through the front doors. I just keep my head held high like their words have no effect on me, even though they cut me deeper than any mortal or supernatural blade ever can.

That's the first chapter. Sorry it's kinda slow, it's a build the actual story chapter.

Thanks for reading my book, it means a lot to me. Sorry if updates are slow, I have multiple books I'm trying to write.

IF THERE ARE MISTAKES THAT BOTHER YOU OR THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS CONFUSING COMMENT ON IT AND MAYBE SUGGEST HOW I CAN MAKE MY STORY MORE ENJOYABLE! :)
