Open Question: Read my first chapter of my book?

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

I told my english teacher about my future hoping to write a book, so to see if im good she told me to write one that expresses me and that will be half my grade ! so please tell me whats wrong with it ? i feel like theres something missing. hopefully if its good enough ill publish it someday.

Tonight I was feeling more aggravated than ever. What people put me through doesn’t seem to run through their mind, obviously they just think about themselves. I’m probably over exaggerating when I say I wish my family could drop dead or just leave out of town for good. I swear on that.
Outside, the air felt musky and warm as if it just finish raining, it really didn’t give me fresh air. The air I was desperately needing at the moment. The pond I was sitting by calmed me down a bit, it always did. When these trees surround me I’m no longer in Clover Park, it becomes my own personal meadow. Every time I’m here I feel like I can concur the world and do what I please. I jumped up from the sound of a thud coming near my way. Maybe I was being followed. But who in the world would be following me at this late hour ?
I snatched the nearest branch that was next to me and hovered over to a tree for cover. Just before I was going to attack, I caught a glimpse of a guy. He didn’t look like he was going to attack at all, he looked wary and depress starring down at the cold ground. He wasn’t aware of my presence until he looked up at me in shock, poor guy looked like he hadn’t slept for days.” wait, please ! Don’t hit me! ” he pleaded.” Uh-uh, well. ” just then the moonlight shinned upon his face, this boy was gorgeous, drop dead beautiful. His black hair went perfect with his dark skin. But what I loved most of all was his green eyes. A angel I’d never thought about or thought I would see.” I’m really, really sorry! ” I muttered. ” I didn’t mean to scare you. You see I was just, ” I paused just then, he was looking at me smiling. ” Don’t worry about it. It’s fine. You just caught me off guard. ” I felt blood rush to my cheeks and looked away from him. In a matter of seconds it started pouring. I turned to look at his expression, but he was just starring at me. His eyes were locked into mine. His face was serious and dull-like , I can see curiosity hit him. We stared at each other for what felt like forever. Neither one of us looked away.
The cold rain dripped down my cheeks and soaked my hair. If I don’t leave now I’m going to be worse than sick by tonight. I turned my back on him, which must’ve been rude, but he wasn’t talking anyway. I walked out of the forest and toward the public bathroom. Damn it, I forgot it was closed at this late hour. Where the hell am I suppose to go now ? ” Hey, wait. ” The stranger said just a few feet behind me. ” I no a restaurant you can go to for now until the rain stops, doesn’t seem like you want to go home. ”
I turned around, is my expression that obvious ? ” No, home isn’t the place for me right now. But I’ll only be interested in your offer if you join me. ” I said with a polite smile. I really didn’t like being in restaurants without someone with me. Look at the bright side on this ugly, Friday night. I’m soaked, frustrated ( not as much as before ) and hungry. But then again … I happened to meet a handsome guy, who’s sweet ( as far as I know ) and generous. My night with him might end well, but what happens when I get home ?
