    Once Bitten, Twice Shy - Tiana Dorsey

    Once Bitten, Twice Shy

    Chapter 1

    Almeria Jones, Chad Valley High School invites you to the ten-year reunion party for the class of 2007...

    My eyes scanned over the words as an ice cold numbness encased my whole body. I knew that I needed to get to my crappy job as a waitress in a terrible diner at the end of my street, that thought was raging at the back of my mind, but my legs simply couldn’t move. It was almost as if I’d completely forgotten how to function as a human being. This unexpected letter had absolutely floored me, and I didn’t know what to do next.

    Chad Valley High School...the one place I hadn’t thought of in a decade since I last set eyes on that building, the one place I thought I would never have to see ever again. Why was it reaching out to me now, trying to lure me back into a life I thought I had long left behind? Why couldn’t the past just let me go?

    On the one hand, it would be pretty awesome to stroll back into my hometown, to see all the people that I left behind when I ran away in a rush, without looking back even once. I missed Tia, Helli, and Noriko. They were my best friends in the world when we were kids, and I wished that I hadn’t raced away and cut contact in a state of distress...but it would also be difficult to see them again knowing that my life had become a failure. I was a smart kid in high school, it seemed like I was going to go far in life at the time – I had dreams of being a lawyer – so the fact that I now lived in a tiny apartment and I worked a job that didn’t involve my intellect, would be a little humiliating. Especially if the other girls had gone on to do amazing things. If I had to hear about how incredible their futures looked, it would only make my life seem that much more pathetic.

    Then again, was that a real reason not to go and see them again? Was that not just me making an excuse?

    Urgh, I shook my head rapidly, I needed to forget about this now. I had to get to work. I might have hated my job, but that didn’t mean I could afford to lose it. It was my only source of income, and the last thing I needed was to get on the job hunt circuit once more. It had been over six years since my last job interview, I wasn’t sure that I had it in me to do it all again.

    Without really thinking about it, I folded up the invite and I stuffed it into my pocket. It had caused me so much trauma this morning, the words written upon it had literally floored me, so it made no sense that I wanted to bring it with me, but I couldn’t seem to let it go. There was something oddly comforting about having it with me.

    What’s wrong with you? the chef, Albie, asked me gruffly as soon as I walked through the diner’s door. You have a face like a slapped ass.

    Hmm, what? I was too distracted to take offense to his snide remarks.

    I said why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?

    Was it that obvious? Oh, well, I... I wasn’t close to Albie, but then again I wasn’t close to anyone in the city. I spent so much time trying to keep my head down when I first arrived that I didn’t make any friends, and now it felt too late to do so. Unfortunately for me, this was the only person I could speak to about it and I needed to get it off my chest. I got invited to a ten-year high school reunion thing, and I guess I feel a bit weird about it. I tried to laugh, but the sound that fell from my mouth was far too strangled.

    Urgh. God, I hate those things. He rolled his eyes in an over the top fashion. Old rivalries come back up, proving that no one has really grown up, everyone is all bitter and old since you aren’t teenagers anymore, any heartache suffered resurfaces. Waste of time if you ask me.

    Heartache. The one aspect of high school that I really didn’t ever want to think about again. That was the true reason I didn’t want to go back to Chad Valley High School ever, because I would be reminded of the worst time in my life. It was so bad that I ran away from home and I never looked back. I tried my hardest not to consider it this morning, but now that Albie had opened the floodgates, the memories spilled into my brain.

    Sam Sparrow, with his pale skin, his dirty blond hair, and his golden eyes. He was the one who broke my heart and tore me to pieces. When he loved me, it was as if the sun shone down on me and everything was right with the world. I didn’t think anything could go wrong as long as he wanted me. But when he stopped loving me my world ended. I was so destroyed that I honestly didn’t think I would ever recover.

    Sam Sparrow... I didn’t think I had it in me to look at him again. With his face in my mind, the bruise on my heart throbbed once more reminding me that leaving home hadn’t helped me to get over him. If I hadn’t managed it in a decade, chances were I never would.

    Yeah, you’re right, I told Albie with a false smile. Waste of time, I think I’ll avoid it. Keep my life drama free.

    The only problem with drama free is that it was terribly boring. At least life back at home, time with Sam, was never that. But if exciting meant life destroying then it was probably best to avoid it completely.
