Week 1: Am I Crazy?

[lilycobalt]

"Hey! Good to see you again!" A tall boy whose T-shirt read I HATE T-SHIRT SLOGANS stopped in front of me and threw his hand up in the air. I slowly raised my right hand while looking into Slogans's blue eyes, trying to figure out how I knew someone at a school I had never set foot in. After the most awkward high five in recorded history, I

I'm so intrigued by this Crazytown. The appearance of the boy who looks like him explains a lot of the familiarity in the beginning, but I want to know why he can't go to that school and what's in got into that he's way over his head?

Thanks! It looks like I'll be writing more installments of this, whether for Idol or on my own time. Golf cart guy wanted to keep Liam from discovering that he had a clone attending the school, but that's all I'll say for now.

Is he in an alternate reality? Is it just coincidence that there's a kid with his name that looks exactly like him? What does the dude in the golf cart know that he isn't telling us? SO MANY QUESTIONS.

Nope, it's not a coincidence. And I'll nix the alternate reality theory (though that might be cool for another story). As for what golf cart dude knows...I think that needs to be another installment. :)

I'm glad the twist had some impact! Liam is a guy. I am not good at writing male characters, but I thought I'd give it a try here.

This was awesome! I love how something as apparently mundane (though emotionally harrowing) as a first day at a new school took such a bizarre twist.

[lilycobalt]

Thank you! Being the new kid is never fun, but it's especially difficult here when "you" are already there.

Oh this was great! Definitely makes me curious. I want to know more :D

Thank you!
