Excerpt
I have always been a good girl. I’ve always been a girl who never gets into trouble. In fact, the one and only time that I do something even vaguely wrong, do you know what happens? I die. At least, that seems like the most logical explanation, given the circumstances. I remember impact. And then nothing. I open my eyes and look around. I am standing in front of the school gate. Of all places. It’s freezing. Something feels wrong. I’m just pulling my jacket further around myself when I hear a voice to my left. “You,” it says angrily. It startles me and I spin around to see Anthony. Of all people. Somehow I have gone from being in the car with Wade to standing in front of the school gate with the geekiest, most boring, weirdest nerd boy from my form. “You,” I snarl back at him. I look around and realise something is really wrong with this place. “What’s with all the mist?” Anthony asks. “Like I’m gonna know.” I shrug. “Maybe there’s been some kind of nuclear explosion. What’s the last thing you remember?” “I don’t…” I trail off as I think. “You,” I say suddenly. “You… In the car… Wade… He…” Memories flood my mind and make me shudder. “What do you remember?” I ask as I try to shake the cold feeling that has crept down my spine. He shrugs. “I was on my way home. You and that idiot boyfriend of yours were speeding around in some car that obviously didn’t belong to either of you. I yelled at him to slow down, there’s a nursery school just down the road, he could have killed someone…” The cold feeling intensifies. I think he did.
