LOTS OF HOLES TO FILL

Setting: It was a school/church? It was HUGE and beautiful. Part of it got destroyed/vandalized I think? [well, it was actually supernatural, but we're making this "sci-fi" not SN] It was more than just my school, it was a community, the school was part of it is all. Lots of other things happened in the building
I was a student there. I had a lot of friends, Andy went there, and I was dating one of the popular boys [small school, so really, most are 'popular'], he was very cute, and in a wheel chair.
There were a few weird things happening lately, all different, but happening to kids in the school. Something "happened to me"
[I think I was actually faking.., not sure why yet]
I kind of 'lost it', was kind of autistic and crazy. I didn't know how to tell my parents or the teachers what was happening, and I was seeing things
It happened after I followed this girl who was there, she had been talking to this author of these like, psychic books, books I was interested in reading for "Oliver" [HA!]
But there was something weird between her and the author [this like, Wicca kind of looking girl]
I followed them into the bathroom, and the next thing I know, I'm sitting on the floor in the hall, seeming crazy
My parents have no idea what to do, and no one is really told what happened
I'm pulled out of school.
I am taken with the other students with something weird happening to them [some have the same thing, others are different], and we are going on a "weekend trip" to try and help us. We leave the school and go to this building, and when we enter this weird, windowless room with seats lining the walls and a few benches in the middle, we are suddenly ourselves
A few students don't seem surprised. I seem a little relieved, but I appear to not be surprised either.
We all start talking, and get ready.
The room does something weird, spins or something strange, and when it stops, we all step out of the room, a few new kids scared to be 'crazy' again, but we're all fine. Those of us who are use to this, grin.

We now are to 'recruit' people, the woman in charge is adamant that we get some better people, she seems almost mean
We take a few hours to 'change our appearance' a bit, because we are told we are going back to our own school.
Some complain because, like me, we did things that make it impossible to return so quickly as ourselves
Others are okay, they left on normal reasons, and just say their plans got cancelled
My best friend is one of the people with us, who can stay herself. We put extensions in my hair, and die it this orange and blonde kind of color. I get a few extra piercing, including nose, and I'm back to the dark makeup, darker, slightly more revealing clothes. Very NOT me, but I know I have to pull it off, attitude and all [the attitude just has to be taken up a notch, I already had the confident and 'whatever' attitude I needed, but now it needs to meet the level of the appearance]. While normally this isn’t enough, there is some X factor to everything that makes people kind of blind to me being me, for the most part.

Once at the school, it's a school day, no parents in sight, thank god. Just students, mostly hanging out. It's about to be the weekend, and everyone has parties or hangs up at the 'school building'. We get there and I'm not worried. We try and decide how to start getting people, and where. We want to go out into the hall and sit in the stairs to think, but there is someone out there. So, we start going through the choir robes, and plan to say we have to deliver them somewhere.
However, some of my boyfriend's friends see me, and recognize me
We don't panic yet. I try to ignore them
Later, a group of us are talking. We've picked a few people and plan to work together to get them later
Then, my boyfriend comes rolling up. Cynthia, my friend, smiles, and explains that going home for the weekend got cancelled, her parents were doing something else. We were all way too good at lying, as I would be proof of.
He looks up at me, and freezes. Cynthia sighs quietly, only we see, and turns to him with a smile.
"Oh! Did you meet my friend Tabitha?" a few of the group look at me worried. Tabitha? TABITHA?! That is so obvious. "at least it's not Tabitha marie black" a few say later, everyone knows I'm a writer, and they know about my main character. He looks at me again, but I seem uninterested as I turn.
"Hi." I tell him flatly, and she laughs as I turn to others again to 'chat'
He says hi back, and continues to talk to Cynthia about tonight's party, which I was suppose to go with him to..
She says she'll be there, and we all grin. Well, duh we'll be there, all our people are going to be there, obviously! We're the ones THROWING it in the first place! We almost laugh.
He turns to me. "You look a lot like someone I know." He says flatly
I turn, still not interested. "really? Hmm." Is all I say. Cynthia nudges me and I sigh noticeably.
"Sorry. I'm not big on meeting new people."
He starts talking to me, asking why I'm there. I tell him that I go to St. Mary's [there are MILLIONS of those] and I'm friends with Cynthia. I came up for the weekend when her plans crashed. Plus I hear her best friend got sent off somewhere, so I thought she could use the company.
That lie about kills me as I see him frown so sadly
He informs me that 'that girl' is Stephanie, his girlfriend, and leaves
Cynthia frowns, the others shrug. We had to. At least he doesn't know its me, they say, but I know it's me, and that's enough.


-----------------------------

That's really it, but it has a lot of potential. Was I faking? Or does it hit us when the woman needs us? What are we recruiting for? Good, evil? Neither, both? What is with that room? What happens at the party? What happens to me? With my boyfriend? And, gotta have some big plot. Maybe they try and get me to recruit my boyfriend, and I refuse, start to realize that what we thought was good was back, and fight back,? So obvious, so maybe it IS good, and I finally see that, or something.
Lots of potential, =] Fun!
