Chapter Text
All of Julie’s life, she knew somehow that she was different. She would often see flashes of a round table, not just an ordinary table. This table was made out of the prettiest wood, had excellent carvings, and with that table came a feeling that she could not describe. It felt almost like she belonged somewhere, with someone.
She is transferring to King’s High for its music program. Her old school lost its funding for the arts. This was her only chance to play again. Julie knew it was going to happen yet it still felt weird to transfer schools. She had been going to the same school for three years, so of course it was weird transferring schools for her final year. She decided to go for a run before starting at the new school; a run helped clear her mind. Usually when she ran, she would see those flashes of that table. She always felt alive when she received the flashes; they would fill her with energy.
Luke was the good-looking bad-boy football type that the girls would always drool over. He has been going to King’s High since freshman year, almost three years. He also had a feeling that something was different about him. He wouldn’t get flashes like Julie. Luke would get glimpses of a beautiful castle, with a white exterior that looked almost like his school. When he plays football is when it happens, it fills him with a rush of ‘I can do anything’ mentality. One time when this happened, he broke the record of the fastest time in the 5 mile in his school's history.
He decided he would go for a run before school, and then run to school. Luke was always a very active person, his parents were always having to stop him from running all around the house. He knew something was missing in his life, he just could never put his finger on it.
Alex and Carrie were the closest siblings anyone knew. Alex was a year older then Carrie making him a junior and Carrie a sophomore. Alex would always protect Carrie from anything. If they were walking on the sidewalk Alex would walk on the side nearest the road. They were both into theatre and would often burst into song while driving to school. Like Luke, the siblings have been going to King’s high since freshman year. However, unlike Luke they didn’t get glimpses or flashes, they just got a feeling when they touch something. One time, Alex went to a museum and they had a King Arthur exhibit. He got to touch a knight's armor, when he did, a rush of electricity flowed through him. He brushed it off as an electric shock.
They wanted to get coffee at the park before they went to school. Afterwards, they decided to walk and enjoy the crisp fall air. Carrie couldn’t wait to get to school and had Alex speed up. It was Monday, meaning she had cross country practice. While on the other hand Alex was not looking forward to school, he had a chemistry test; he hated chemistry. He however didn’t mind when he had ‘chemistry’ with Willie; a cute senior was in class. If anyone asked Alex why he always smiled when he walked into class he would deny everything and anything.
King’s High had two major bullies. Caleb and Bobby, they were known to make fun of people and cause chaos whenever they can. The two met in pre-school where they bonded over throwing toys. Even when they were not in school, they would be in the park making fun of little kids who were playing in the grass. What people didn’t know about them was whenever the two would separate a headache would follow. They had no idea why it happened but they decided they would stick together so they wouldn’t get the headaches.
They always hung in the park before school looking for potential targets to bully. Carrie was an easy target when Alex wasn’t around, but he was almost always around. Bobby would often find a student to kick while Caleb developed a prank or something. They decided to just sit and scan for targets and then head off to school for the third period. Caleb hated math which was his first period and Bobby hated English which was his second period so they would both skip those two and wait till third.
Reggie, the class clown, the boy who always made everyone else happy even when he wasn’t. His parents were always at each other's throats, it would often wake Reggie up in the middle of the night. They would fight about money, or his grades, anything. Reggie slept at Luke’s house half the time, however no one knew of this. Reggie is Luke’s mistress. They have a secret relationship, Luke has to hold up his “single, straight, bad boy” vibe. They both hated it but it was better than nothing. When Reggie’s parents fight, Luke takes him in. Reggie always had a headache around Luke. He would also get them around Alex and Carrie. No one knew why, making it difficult to figure out.
Reggie played the bass in his downtime, mostly to drown out the fights. After Luke finished with football practice he would go over to his house making sure to bring headache relief. Before school, they would walk through the park and get coffee, sometimes happening to run into Alex and Carrie. If that did happen the four would walk to school together. If he spent the night at his own place, he would go for a jog through the park.
Willie is the skater boy of King’s high, there are multiple but most of them are fakers who carry around a skateboard to look cool. Willie however loved to skate, he almost always remembers to wear his helmet but when he doesn’t he decided to walk instead of ride. Everyone knows Willie, everyone likes Willie. All the girls are always jealous of his hair, it's always perfect. Mondays are his favorite, he has Chem with Alex. Though he doesn’t know his name, he calls Alex ‘that cute blonde guy’. Willie doesn’t get a flash or anything, he has nothing besides a feeling of loneliness.
He decided when he woke up that he would take a ride in the park before school and then in Chem he would talk to Alex. Before he left his house he remembered to grab his helmet and his wallet. He was always on the lookout for good coffee, and he had heard of a good stand in the park.
Flynn is by far, the best DJ at King’s High. But not many people know it’s actually her DJ-ing. She plays anonymously and posts it on a website called ‘Perfect Harmony’ all aspiring musicians post there. Reggie even has a video of two of him playing the Bass. At school though Flynn is bullied, for being the “quiet” girl. Little do they know the only reason she is quiet is because she gets these awful headaches. They usually come before a vision of something that is about to happen. She gets these visions and with them she can tell the future. Not too far in the future, just a few seconds or minutes. One time at a football game, she got one of Luke getting tackled to the ground. She flinched and then it happened.
She got one this morning and it was a pretty powerful one. It was of a girl she’d never seen before, and Luke, literally running into each other at the park. It was weird and left her with a bad headache. She thought that she’d take a walk in that very park before school. Flynn wanted to know if she’d be able to see it happen.
