Here's a fictional story I will be starting and slowly updating. The main story is about a boy and a girl who once knew each other. The general setting is in a fictional city, in Canada.
I hope you enjoy reading the story. Take note that I am not the best writer.
Sunlight shimmered through the pine trees and birch trees. Tranquility emanated throughout the forest; a calming silence filled the atmosphere. A pond reflected the sun beams and created a beautiful view. There sat a boy on a mossy log by the pond, gazing into the forest. Nearby, bushes rustled and a girl walked out from the darkness, her name was Sarah.
The boy said, “Oh, it’s you. Again.”
Sarah slowly walked closer and asked, “What do you mean?”
“Do you remember me, Sarah?”
“How do you know my name? I never met you before.”
“Right, it’s rude of me to forget to introduce myself.”
An eerie silence stood between them, it was as if time stopped for a moment.
Then the boy parted his lips and said, “My name is—"
It was an early morning of January as snow slowly made their way down onto the buildings and roads of Swallow Valley, Canada. The windows of houses started to get frosted and the fresh, cold winter air drifted throughout the small city.
High school students slowly trickled into Forreston Dale High, returning from their school break. The high school stood three stories tall, surrounded by neighborhoods and a plaza.
Yawning from another sleepless night as an insomniac, Vynn dragged himself to school. Climbing all three stories, he passes by the nearly deserted halls to Room 908. Opening the classroom door, it reveals several students standing and chatting with one another. One boy with dirty blonde hair, named Tobias, greeted Vynn as he entered. Slowly walking to his desk, Vynn plummets into his seat, taking a short nap before his math class starts.
As the last bell for school rings, students quickly rush out of the building. Chatter soon surrounds the compound as students walk home and wait for their ride. Out of the crowd walk Vynn and his best friend, Tobias.
“Hey, Vynn! Are you going to go to Kate’s birthday party tonight?” Tobias happily asked.
“Not sure about that, I’ve been meaning to get some rest.” Vynn replied drowsily.
“Come on, it’ll be fun! You don’t have to stay too long.”
“Alright, I guess I’ll go. See you, there,” Vynn said as he walked away from Tobias to his house.
Vynn’s house was painted light blue and beige, with a backyard of various flowers and rosebushes. Once Vynn entered his domain, he quickly dropped his backpack on the sofa and decided to spend the rest of the time doing homework.
Music blared from Kate’s house, disturbing the usual peace and quiet of the night. Crickets chirping were muted by the noise as birds flew away to farther trees. Snow still continued to fall from above, adding more to the terrain of the city.
Closing in on Kate’s house, Vynn was quickly greeted by Tobias.
“Glad you could make it, pal! Kate and the others are inside,” Tobias gestured to the house as he took a sip of his punch.
Vynn then approached the building and opened the door. Various students from the high school were dancing and treating themselves to the food table. The main room was flashing from colors of cyan, magenta, and yellow from spotlights on each wall. Streamers hung from the ceiling and several balloons were anchored in random areas.
Kate stood amongst her close friends, Abigail and Elliot. Glancing to her open front door, she saw Vynn and greeted him.
“Hey, Vynn! Didn’t know you would actually come. Anyways, thanks for making it,” Kate said cheerfully.
“Well, happy birthday, Kate,” drowsily replied Vynn.
After their small talk, Vynn sat on a chair set up by one of the walls. Hours passed and more people joined the party, and the room was quickly filled with laughter and cheering. Soon, Vynn felt isolated and muted from the crowd. He got up and waved goodbye, exiting the building.
The cold, night air welcomed Vynn once more. A mellow atmosphere soon enveloped Vynn as he headed back home. As he neared his neighborhood, the forest caught his eye. The woods seemed to beckon him to come.
Without thought, he moved closer to the forest’s threshold and instantly, pain surged throughout his body. Dropping to his knees, he coughed out blood, dripping slowly onto the pavement. Soon, Vynn was surrounded by darkness and a shadowy figure appeared in front of him.
It spoke, “Hey, kid, where do you think you’re going?”
Vynn stuttered, “Q-Quit it, Amalgam.”
“You can go there when the time’s come. For now, stay where you’re supposed to, don’t just go out ruining my surprises. You already have five, take it easy already,” it smirked.
“Fine.”
The darkness quickly disappeared after his final statement. The calming environment returned, with crickets chirping and leaves rustling by the road. Vynn slowly got up and staggered his way back home. Entering his bedroom, he soon fell asleep to the peace and quiet.
Leaves danced in the wind as birds chirped in melody. It was the dawn of spring, and the animals had awoken from their hibernation. Squirrels scurried in the fields and deer grazed on the meadows. Flowers were ready to bloom, and the lake sparkled at the clear, blue sky.
Up on Chrysalis Edge, there sat the boy, gazing at the wondrous view. Sarah stood behind him, while the breeze blew against her.
“You really don’t remember me?” The boy asked once more.
“No, I don’t know anyone by that name,” said Sarah in a sincere tone.
Rocks crumbled from the cliff edge, tumbling downwards into the lake. There was only the sound of the wind and their voices.
Sarah inquired, “Since I don’t remember anything, why don’t you tell me what we did together. Maybe that will help.”
There was a pause, and then the boy spoke, “Well, we used to explore the forests and pick strawberries. One time, I brought roses and lilacs for you and your mother; both of you liked it.”
“So, you’ve met my family also. Do they remember you?”
The boy spoke with a heavy heart, “That doesn’t matter. I’d rather be remembered by you.”
Silence soon overtook the conversation once more. Sarah kept mute, unable to reply to his statement. The boy remained, in deep thought, staring at the distant forests; he felt forlorn.
I hope you enjoy reading the story. Take note that I am not the best writer.
