*REWRITTEN*
I am FINALLY returning to this story... But with a whole new twist, that I SOOO blame on the bestest friend I've ever had, posiedon'sdaughter13! So thank her for (sort of) getting your story back!
Kayla I:
Kayla Adams sat impatiently in her seventh grade math class. She stared blankly at the board, all that the teacher was saying flying in one ear and out the other. Her foot swung back and forth under her chair, and the girl next to her, Maria, gave her an annoyed look.
"Have you ever paid attention in any class?" Maria asked. Kayla thought about it for a moment. Shed always had problems concentrating, even when she wanted to. Every little movement and sound captured her attention.
She shook her head no, and Maria turned around with an irritated look on her face.
A movement for the other side of the room caught her attention. It was her twin, Maddie.
Whenever they told someone they were twins, no one believed them; they looked nothing alike. While Kayla's hair was golden brown, Maddie's brown hair was faintly tinted with red. Kayla's eyes were green with small blotches of red and yellow surrounding the pupil; Maddie's were blue with hazel circling the pupil. Maddie had freckles. Kayla didn't.
Maddie moved her hand more frantically, the teacher droning on and remaining oblivious to the sisters' silent conversation.
Kayla looked at Maddie's frantic face and wild gesturing toward the board. She mouthed the word "Look," and Kayla looked to the board.
It was blurry, yes, and it kept shifting and changing, but she saw it. She saw it, and she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Her eyes darted to her sister, no doubt wide with fear and slight curiosity.
The wall where the white board was hanging was staring to crack in many places, blues, purples, greens, and black shifting through the cracks. The only problem: no one seemed to notice.
Well, except for the scrawny boy sitting in the back that Kayla and Maddie have come to get close to over the school year.
Max looked around in horror before locking eyes with Kayla, then moving to with what Kayla assumed were Maddie's eyes.
"What's going on?" Maddie mouthed to Max. He shook his head gloomily and glanced at the cracking wall with anxiety.
"Hopefully nothing, yet," Kayla saw him mouth.
Kayla turned her gaze to the cracks in the wall instead of listening-more like daydreaming about random things-to the teacher and her boring lecture about bisecting angles and line segments and whatever else. SHe was honestly surprised she had good grades in any of her classes.
She stared at the wall, thinking. Why is it cracking? What's behind it? Are any of the people in this room safe from whatever it is?
The longer she stared, the bigger the cracks got, the thicker they got, and her eyes widened just as something busted through and leaving a gaping hole in the wall.
Dry plaster flew, and multicolored water flowed into the classroom, soaking shoes and socks everywhere. People started to scream and the teacher's lecture died out. Kayla saw Maddie jump out of her chair to join her sister near the window. Kayla's cynic mind saw many scenarios-none of which she wanted to come true.
"What is going on?!" Maddie grabbed Kayla's shoulders and Kayla noticed the slightly crazy look in her eyes.
"I have no idea," Kayla answered over the screaming chaos of students and teacher alike. "but we should probably get out of here! Where's Max?"
Maddie looked around and pointed towards the waterfall coming from the front of the room. Kayla pressed her lips together and nodded.
"Yep, he's an idiot."
"Max!" Whatever he was doing by the wall, he clearly didnt expect anyone to still be in the room. The water was already half way up Kayla's shins, and both the doors were closed. If they wait too long, they won't be able to open the doors at all.
Max tried his best to run up to them, tripping, but not falling, every other second from something under the water.
"Why are you still here?! Get out! It's not safe here!" Kayla felt that was an obvious "DUH!" but she said nothing.
"Are you insane? You were right next to the wall! You say that's not sfe in the back of the room?"
"Yes," he said, and there was a faint grumbling sound coming from the other side of the wall. Max deflated a bit, his voice only a whisper when he continued. "And you'll see why soon."
