Crown of Stone

Chapter 6

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Ok that guy up there is Liam James, who will be Collin Chase, you might know him from playing Duncan in "The Way Way Back"
On My computer so no emojis, oh well the POV belongs to...........Daniel. Have fun you brave little souls. Have fun. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Daniel walked into his house with only five minutes before his neighbor across the street came to pick him up.
Sighing he wished he had time to take a shower.
Running up to his bedroom door Daniel realized that his father was not in his normal spot like he always was for at least 27 minutes and 10 seconds every day. Slowing down Daniel went to his father's room and swiftly knocked on the door. The teenager turned towards his own bedroom after 1 minute and 49 seconds of knocking and no reply. Daniel worried though he figured he shouldn't I mean he was a full grown man (37 years, 234 days, and 34 minutes grown) He could do what he wanted.
Quickly trading his sweats for a pair of jeans but leaving on his "Because Daryl said so." Walking Dead running T-shirt, he ran down to the kitchen. Then ran back, having forgot his basketball bag and book bag. After stuffing his face with a cookie dough Pop Tart he sat and waited by the door. His friend was running 2 minutes and 13 seconds late luckily and Daniel still had time to edge into the kitchen and grab a cinnamon roll from a box out of the pantry and eat that too (afterwards, drinking out of the milk carton-which when later when he was talking to Cally Jones (the prettiest girl in school) would he realize he hadn't brushed his teeth for 2 days, 8 hours, and 3 minutes and his breath probably smelled a lot like milk)
Finally the red 2001 Malibu pulled up spitting out weird smelling gases and a noise that probably woke the infant down the street. The silver shaggy hair of Collin Chase was visible through the side window of the monstrosity. Daniel began to walk down the set of stairs and a driveway that separated him and the world he unknowingly had been avoiding.

*Wren*

Despite the fact Wren had about an hour to be ready before she drove away in her dad's old car, she still rushed through getting ready. Pulling on a dreamcatcher shirt and a pair of jeans with vintage buttons, she ran to the kitchen and made an egg sandwich and green tea. No matter what she couldn't get rid of the feeling she was missing something, like a necklace, or a pair of Chuck Taylor's, or her wings...
She felt at loss for the wings. She never dreamt, the medicine barely let her sleep. Wren silently decided she was never going to miss her meds again. She also decided that because she had missed a day of them she should take double today. Besides, it's not like it would kill her.
She ate her sandwich and swallowed both of the pills before going out to the garage and turning on the black Chevy Convertible and pulling out. Her mom, not being able to afford a car for Wren and not being to able to drive her herself because of extra work hours, had filed for financial support of her daughter only instead of money she got a car.
The school was about four blocks away and Wren Greywood was early for school ready for her tour. The school was big for a little town, she'd give it that, but it was also full of annoying questions and rumors of her medicine and of her schizophrenia.
As she drove towards a parking spot she noticed a red car drive past. It wasn't the red car that was important, it was the people inside of the car. Driving was a boy with silver-pitch hair and in the passenger seat was...was... she couldn't help but feel she had met him before. A flash of red-gold made her think of a potato clock kit.

*Daniel*

They drive past a black Chevy with only one person in it. A girl with pitch hair. Collin looked up at her then back at Daniel.

"She's cute. Not my type though." He muttered the last part under his breath but Daniel hardly noticed. It was the girl from his dream. The girl with the wings. Looking back at Collin he had to take a double look. For a moment Collin had silver feather hair that matched the wings of the girl, but the next moment it was gone; reduced to his normal silver/black hair. "Dude, don't get all creepy. I mean I know I'm the best looking person here but you've lasted the last 2 years without getting creepy. Let's not start as the 'weird Juniors everyone avoids'. K?" Daniel still wasn't listening. Collin rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fine whatever time to go to school."

*Wren*

As Wren walked inside the school she was immediately blinded by the gold of 1st place trophy cases that lined the walls, all filled.
She walked down the walls, reading the lettering to herself.

"First, Eastern Conference. First Runner-Up PIAA. Second, National High School Invitation." The wall went on and on and Wren was getting bored. She turned away from the wall and nearly ran into a girl who was walking by. "Oh I'm so sorry!" The girl shrugged and laughed.

"Your the new kid right? Kathren Greywool?"

"Wood. Greywood. And you can just call me Wren." Though barely possible the girl smiled wider.

"Great! I'm Shiloh Brads. You can just call me Shiloh!" The girl laughed at her own joke and Wren just smiled. It would be that kind of year. "So, anyway, I'll be giving you the tour as student council president. If you'll follow me." She had retained all seriousness now and whipped around, nearly giving Wren a face full of blonde hair.

Ok don't hate me. Hang in there! I know this didn't resolve anything but it. Is. Coming. I promise. Oh and did I freak you out with the whole "You brave little souls" At the beginning of the chapter? Don't worry I need you to become emotionally attached to these characters before I kill them. Just thought I'd let you know. *wink wink*
