Chapter two,
Gone.
Chris wasn't feeling the best that day, which was weird because he is ALWAYS the best to his standards. He felt like someone was watching his every move, step by step, word through word. someone was listening. Don't you get that feeling sometimes? The feeling that your being watched, looked over, by someone.... Well that's the feeling Chris had for a while, and when he left early for school after talking with Jenna he swore someone was walking right behind him. Chris told Jenna to promise she would be careful, He hoped she was, it was winter in Brooklyn, flurrying outside catching flakes to his brown hair. School was out next week, winter break, and GOD did he want winter break. Chris was planning on asking Jen out on winter break. Getting caught up on his thoughts he didn't realize that he was at school now and walking up the steps when someone bumped into him.
"Hey watch it I could've slipped!" I said
"Oh my god i'm so sorry, It's just that I heard there will be a blizzard soon and my hair an-"
"Yeah yeah I get it your hair and all, it's okay just hurry along" I said cutting off the persons sentence.
" Thank you, and I don't know why we're still having school. We are supposed to get a major blizzard" The person I bumped into says while fading into the crowed of hurrying people and leaving me at my standing, just standing.. nothing else. Wait where was Jenna? The blizzard!
she could be stuck!! Okay if she isn't here by English I will go out and find her.

My English class isn't full of many people, well to my school. There is at least 20 students, I sit down next to Raldo and Jordan, Two friends I met last summer at music camp. We talk and all but they aren't as close as me and Jenna.
"Hey you alright? You look like your in the twilight zone man" Jordan says, realizing I was zoned out.
"Oh yeah, i'm fine. Just thinking about-.." What am I thinking about? "Thinking about what i'm going to do for winter break" I say.
"Oh... okay well start writing down the notes, or you will have to stay in with Ms. Ka-" Jordan tries to say the last word but gets interrupted by the worst teacher in school.. Ms. Kayler..
"WELL, WELL, WELL, what do we have here?" She says while pointing to my empty page of notes.
"NOTHING? Well i think that calls for lunch detention! Now let me get to attendance." She says.
Oh attendance.. Jenna isn't here yet!
"Susan?"
"Here!"
"Mike?"
"Here"
"Raldo?"
"Sadly here!"
"Jordan?"
"Same as Raldo"
"Chris?"
"You said it"
And much much more people to carry on.

After English i choose to sneak out. I use the back door and down the alley to the orphanage. I pace back and fourth under shelves and wood piles so no one will see me, Trust me, the streets arent all "HAPPY FOR YOU HAPPY FOR ME!" as you think they would be. When I reach the orphanage I notice the door is open, which the orphanage never does, cause trust me, I live here to. When I look inside and check around, no one is here, no Jenna, The orphanage helpers must have gone out somewhere but... then where would Jenna be! I find her bed area to see that it is completely torn to shreds except for one note. On top of everything it reads.
'Jenna is gone'...
Gone.
How could she be GONE! Oh my god, my jenna, she's GONE just like that, out of thin air. I knew it wasn't safe out here I KNEW, but I let her go anyways. I pack up my things in a hurry rushing to get out of this orphanage as soon as I can. I can feel the weight of Jen's
loss building up inside me, I can't handle it and soon enough i'm outside the orphanage crying with a bag full of what I will need. I am going to search for her, She cant be dead. No she WONT be dead, Not with me around, she wont be gone she CANT BE GONE!
i'm going to find her and no one can stop me.
Gone.
