Tagged by @shaelinwrites!! And hers is right here, which you should read, because her writing is amazing and I can’t wait for this book.
Rules: Share the first line (or first few lines) of each chapter of your current manuscript! Feel free to skip chapters to avoid spoilers, and you can do as many chapters as you want!
It makes the most sense for me to do this for Superkids! So let’s go
CHAPTER ONE: HE FELT POWERFUL
CHAPTER TWO: BIGGER, AND BIGGER, AND BIGGER
Patton yawned as he shuffled down the school’s hallway. His tummy rumbled. He usually ate breakfast with his dad, but woke up late and didn’t have time.
Virgil stood stiff as Derek and Remus got him ready.
Remus fixed an earpiece on him, bringing his long hair down to hide it. Derek grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard, mumbling for him to loosen up.
“Okay,” Remus took a step back to look him over, “your dad and I will be there the whole time. I hacked into their security cameras, so I’ll be able to let you know if anything goes wrong.”
“It’ll be easier next time.”
Virgil lied awake, staring at the ceiling. His hair was still wet. Instead of going to school, he went to a barbershop to get his hair cut. Instead of the thick, long waves that reached down to the small of his back, the hair he’d been growing out all his life, it was shaved on the sides and his bangs fell in his face. Then, he came home and bleached the rest of the purple out, and dyed it black.
CHAPTER FIVE: TIME FOR OTHER THINGS
At the end of homeroom, Patton came up to Virgil.
They hadn’t actually talked since the first time, but occasionally, Patton would shoot him smiles or giggle in his direction, and Virgil would shyly wave back. When Virgil cut and dyed his hair, Patton squealed about it for about five minutes straight, telling Virgil how much he loved it and how much it must have helped his dysphoria. Virgil didn’t feel comfortable enough mentioning he didn’t really have any to begin with, just smiled and agreed.
When Roman and Patton got to the house Nightmare was hitting, a police car was outside and all the lights were on.
CHAPTER SEVEN: HE’D LOST SOMETHING
After walking Patton back to her house, Roman wandered around the neighborhood.
He liked going on walks. He always had. He popped in some headphones and just let himself wander. There was nothing like a walk alone at night to get his thoughts back on track.
