In the languange room I have been reading a book called Blood Ties, written by Sophie McKenzie.I loved the book so much, i couldn't stop reading it. But the end was VERY disappointing.
So now I am going to write how I would like the ending of the book to be.

It was the end of my first day at school. A week since i'd seen Theo.
I went everywhere in daze. I had barely registered our new town , our new house, our new car. I lived in my memories, dreaming of seeing him again. Going over what he'd told me.
Today was when he'd said I should do it.
Five p.m. HMT. That's when he'd said.
I walked down the corridor to the main school exit. It was a more modern school than my old one. Smaller but less crowded and cramped. The teachers seemed nice and some of the other kids had been friendly. At least they were boys here. Not that I was interested in any of them. Apparently there was another school in this town, only for boys. But I had seen no sign of it.
Out onto the tarmac. A light drizzle had just started falling. It was the very last week of term. I was only in for an orientation day. I'd start properly in January.
I lifted my face in the rain. It was getting stronger, the raindrops like tiny needles in my face. I thought about Theo, wondering what he would be doing right now.
'Hey, rain girl.' The sneering voice stopped me in my tracks. I looked round. A girl -bigger than me- was standing right next to me with her hands on her hips. She had long, dark hair and a hard, thin face. Two mousier looking girls stood on either side of her.
I stared at her face. She didn't look much like Jemima from my old school. But she had the same sneering, triumphant look in her eye.
'Where are you from, then?' she said.
'Out of town,' I said. I'd been primed with various ways of heading off intrusive questions about my past. My heart thumped. This girl didn't look like she was going to let me head her off all that easily.
'Oh yeah?' The girl glanced at her friends. 'That a nice place, Outuvtahn?'
She was taking the piss out of my accent. My face burned.
'It was okay,' I said levelly. 'Maybe not quite so rainy.'
'Oo-ooh,' the girl said sarcastically. 'So you're too good for round here then?'
My mind raced. What was the right reply? And then I realised. There wasn't one. I didn't even have to be having this conversation.
'I didn't say that,' I said sharply. I stared at the girl. On the surface she was all bluster and threat. But underneath, behind her eyes, I could see she wasn't as sure of herself as she was making out.
I kept my gaze rock-steady on her eyes. 'Actually I like it here.' I smiled. A quick, easy smile. 'See you later.'
I walked away.
Nothing followed me. No objects. No people. No swear words.
Nothing.
The new house was only a few minutes away. Dad was still at work - he'd got a new job at some flim processing shop. Mum was unloading her latest shopping - a new tennis outfit.
She wanted to buy one for me, get me started at the local club, but i told her I wanted to learn karate instead. They teach it at the new school.
I pretended to be interested in mum's new clothes, then I rushed out, saying I had to get something from the high street. The rain had stopped and the sun had come out. Everywhere smelled fresh. I went straight to the internet café I'd spotted earlier in the week. It was massive, there must have been about 200 computers. It looked more like an office than an internet café. I saw a free computer next to the window and I went online. I found the chat room easily enough. Theo had been very clear about the address.
I registered and logged on. My mouth was dry. Was he going to be here? Would he have remembered?
I scanned the screen for Theo's username. There.

Funny what u miss when u move. Sights, sounds. People.
I smiled. Then put my hands over the key board. I'd picked my own username earlier in the week. Theo had told me to make it somethingn he would be sure to identify as me.
I typed quickley.

Yeah, missing people is definetly the worst. Still. So long as you have a way of keeping in touch, I guess u can survive.

Survive. As in better then nothing. Just. Anyway, it's been raining loads here. Doesn't affect me though. I'm working in an internet café on weekdays after school. I'm on my brake now, when i get my work schedule I will know when my brakes are, so that we can chat. Is it rainy where u r?

Yes. It was raining before but the sun just started shining now. I'm so happy you have found a job. I will have to find a better internet café to go online. I've been asking for someone to take my order ever since I got here. It's so busy. I just want a Cappuccino with extra cream, how long does it take haha. What is your school like?
- Haha. It's busy here too. It's rubbish. It sucks not knowing anyone.
-I know it sucks so much. Mine's okay, I think. At least this one has boys.
-That's all mine has. Boys only.
-Haha. I hope I c u again soon. Everything is so weird.
-Me 2. Soon. One day, soon. I have to go, it's getting busy and apparently there is some chick complaining loads in section 8. Shit, it's starting to rain again. It's so depressing not being with u. Speak soon xxx
That was it. Theo went offline. I couldn't even answer him. When would we speak again?
I looked out the window and watched the raindrops slowly start again.
Damn, this Cappuccino was going to take forever.
I pulled over a waitress and asked her if she could take my order.
'Staff on section 8 please!' she sounded very in control, I would finally get my coffee.
All of a sudden, I gasped. Did she just say Section 8? I looked at the raindrops falling heavier and heavier by the second. I quickly looked at Theo's last message he'd sent. This could not be happening. As I was reading it, someone behind be gasped, and a deep sexy familiar voice said 'Cappuccino with extra cream, miss clone heart?'
I turned and tears fell down my face. I must be dreaming. Theo had been sent to the same town as me. And now he was here, in front of me, and before I could even say anything, he was kissing me.
'Boom!' A sound like a gunshot made us stop. We looked around. No. Not again. Not Elijah, not RAGE.
No. Just a little kid kicking the computer and the hardrives. Theo and I looked at the kid in shock.
Yes, it was him.
Daniel. He ran up to us and said. 'Theo, lots of tall men found me in the cemetry at Elijah's funeral, and they said that I had to come and live with you. Can we be roomates?'
We hugged him as Theo said 'Of course we can, bro.'
THE END
