FIRST PAGE OF THE BOOK
PART ONE WIND
Kate
His names is Jarrod Thornton. He has blond-red hair to his shoulders, nice clean skin and green eyes like fiery emeralds; but this is not why I can’t drag my eyes of him. There’s something else. Something almost . . . disturbing. It’s this unearthly element that’s got me hooked.
He’s standing awkwardly at the front of a class of twenty-seven Year 10’s, looking as if he doesn’t quite know what to do with his hands. Or his unusual eyes. As they flick nervously across the black wall of the lab, I glimpse amazing inky blue circles surrounding deep green irises. They’ve been everywhere without once connecting with anyone else’s. He has a black backpack that looks as if its travelled twice around the world slung across one shoulder and he keeps shifting his weight from foot to foot. Hes in uniform the usual grey trousers, white shirt red striped tie at a guess it doesn’t look new. Mr Garret, our science teacher tells us a little about him. His family shifted from eh Riverina only a couple of days ago.
