" Neo, when can you come down for a visit? " Kat asks as she pouts through her web cam.

Neo. Yep, that's me -- or at least to all my closest friends it is. My real name is Chase Wind-the result of being born to a pair of hippie parents I suppose. I am not, by any stretch of the word, 'normal' like the other teenagers, but I'll get into that later. I'm six foot four ( And still growing sadly. ) I have blue-green eyes and bushy, dark brown hair. You'd wonder how I got so tall if you looked at my mother alone. She's short with my hair color and has the same blue in her eyes ( minus the green ) but my father is a different story. Tall and lanky, with reddish brown hair he looks, as if he could be a basketball player. He's not though. His main concern is running his repair company; that man is obsessed with cars.

There there's Kat, or Katherine (called so by everyone but me), if you prefer. A misfit like myself, she always manages to cheer me up. Brown eyed and pale, she honestly looks quite cute. ( Although I'd never have the guts to tell her so. ) She recently dyed her this soft, plum color, and it looks even better that the last time. ( A reddish violet, Ugh ). She's my best friend and has lived just down the road until recently. Her dad got a new job at a processing plant, and they had to move. I still remember the tearful good bye that day... the only time Kat's ever seen me cry.

So now we keep in touch through the internet and with our cells. Right now we're on the internet and she's begging me to come down for a week or two again.


" Kat, I don't know okay? You know I've gotta get my bike fixed. "  The boy replied, his heart already melting from the pouting girl's face.

" Well, that's your fault. You're the one who got in the wreck on it. " She says a little crossly.

" No, I'm the one who got sideswiped by those jackass jocks. "  Chase growled back at her through the cam.

She winces visibly, "Sorry, Chase.". She mumbled, knowing he was still angry over the issue and felt bad for bringing it up.

" It's alright, Kat. It's just since you left, I have no one to watch my back anymore." Chase whispered softy -- the only place his sadness really showing were his eyes.


"Cheer up! These things have a way of working themselves out," Katherine smiled widely, almost as if she knew something he didn't.

A brief opening for a story I'm writing for someone. I thought I might post it here to see what everyone thought.
