If you didn't know what happened to you, something so insane it's beyond reason...would you want to know what happened? [Zebra dinosaurs, a hot guy with multicolored hair, treacherously cunning dinosaurs, a hero and a heroine, and lizard birds]

My Corner: Hello everyone, and welcome to Prince of Peace my first novel. A few notes before you start reading…The grammar in this is not stellar, I realize this, I'm really just trying to get things written first before I go crazy with editing. Unless it's really hard to understand, I would appreciate it if we skipped the grammatical corrections. I did not draw the cover art image. My friend [who is not a member of the site] drew it for me for my birthday last year, I just happened to do a horrible coloring job on it. One last thing, Chapter 1 is worse than any of the other chapters to date. Please read at least to the end of Chapter 2 before deciding to drop this story. I will probably rewrite Chapter 1 at some point.

Chapter 1
At the end of another boring day of school the hallways resounded with noise that only high school students could generate. The kids were leaving school for their various activities and plans. A majority of them were heading to the bus, others to work, some to sports practice, or heading in whatever direction they had planned to hang out with friends. And various means of transportation was available, bus, car, bike, or walking were utilized be zealous kids who could not be happier about school being over for the day.
“I can't believe you got a job,” said a girl in disbelief as she and her friends were leaving the school and walking to their respective buses. Her friends laughed and she flushed scarlet realizing how that had sounded.
Her friend rolled her eyes and said, “Gee, thanks Amy.”
Amy whined, “Nikki you know what I meant.” She latched onto her friend's arm, “I just can't get over the fact that everyone's working.”
Nikki supplied, “You could always get a job too.” Amy blinked, thinking about that possibility for the first time. Everyone laughed again.
The brunette, Nikki, took pity on her friend and changed the conversation, “So who wants to see a movie this weekend?”
As her face began to return to its normal color, Amy said, “Sounds fun, which one?”
“I was thinking of the new movie that came out last Tuesday.” Nikki answered as best as able, the name and what it was about slipped her mind.
One of the girls to the left of Nikki groaned, “Damn, I can't. I have to work all weekend.” The others, except Amy who did not know how painfully boring and annoying that was, cringed.
And one girl a few steps behind the others said, “I'll have to ask my parents.” She did not sound very hopeful though.
Amy slowed her pace and asked, “Are your parents still mad at you for hitting your mailbox and denting it?” The girl nodded and sighed.
Nikki said, “That sucks.”
Unfortunately their conversation was interrupted by a mail voice from behind Nikki. “Stimulating conversation girls, now would you keep your mouths shut ?” The voice was sarcastic and Nikki had to take a few deep breaths to mentally prepare herself for the annoyance awaiting her.
Her tone was drastically different from what she had been using moments before, it was cold and unforgiving. “Do you ever mind your own business, Devin?”
The boy was like her, he had brown hair and brown eyes. He was average looking, just like she was, not that either would admit anything positive about the other. Devin retorted, “Do you ever stop talking?”
Nikki turned and gave him a sickly sweet smile, obviously showing she did not care to pretend she cared. “What can I say Devin, you bring out the best in me.” Her voice was sarcastic as she waited for the banter to continue. They glared at each other and before either could really react first to what she said Nikki turned to her friends, ignoring him. “I'll see you guys this weekend.” And with that Nikki got on the bus, not looking back, while he did not say anything she knew he was still staring at her.
