One Month One World One Year Challenge (Selena Lilly)
So, I started this off in the hopes that I could keep up with it, and immediately couldn't. I've decided to instead do it in this thread, but please check out the main thread with all its wonderful st...
A hike the next day brought her to a ruined house, with graffiti all over the walls. Selena could see where a fire had been lit, and she carefully struck a match against one of the bricks, lighting the fire again. As she stoked it, she tried to calm her racing thoughts.
She'd been unable to sleep most of last night, waking up and falling asleep, in and out. It had left her irritable for most of the morning, but here she could think more clearly. Of course, what she dreaded most was what she had to do.
She would have to leave.
It wasn't as though she could run away forever, of course, but certainly she knew what would happen if she were to be discovered. She'd been avoiding things on that front for quite a while now, anyway. She took a deep breath as she reviewed the facts, mentally.
Mia was her cousin, and possibly the worst person that Selena knew. They'd been a little close in childhood, but slowly, as they grew, Mia had turned spitefully against Selena. If Mia came here and Selena was still here, her reality show would turn into exposing Selena's new existence on live television, or possibly something worse. It hurt that Selena had so little to uproot, but the chances of being discovered by Mia were too high to stay.
She would have to talk with the counselor about moving, as she was doing it on her own. She didn't even know where to begin with that, and she certainly didn't want to start over the way she'd had to before. She also wanted to talk to the art teacher, and maybe see if she had any advice.
Plot point reveal! Yes, Mia and Selena are cousins, and Selena will have to leave before Mia arrives. There's definitely more to that story, but for now, let's roll the images! Selena got invited to a party that...pretty much didn't happen.
