Story!

From now on I will be posting a new chapter of my story every once in a while. Here is the first chapter.

The United Grades of High School
By Cody Byers

Chapter 1
The Incident


"Come on Reggie!" Camille called. They were late for chemistry, and in crowded areas, like the hallway, it's easy to get lost. That's why she needed Reggie. Like they needed to learn about chemistry when the Japanese were attacking. Ever since they attacked, everything revolved around chemistry. It was like everyone expected them to invent new bombs and go to the army.
"It's okay Camille. Remember, it's only chemistry. But, isn't a bit early to go to chemistry?" Reggie said. Camille looked at the clock. It said 8:00. 8:00!
It was 3 hours before they had to leave. She guessed it was stress that made her go all nuts. When she heard the news that the U.S.A was going into World War III, she was devastated. The Iraqi war just ended! "How could another big war start just after one?" She thought.
"Were supposed to be in English, remember?" Reggie said. But Camille wasn't listening. She was looking at the clock. It had the weirdest columns of numbers. She realized with horror what it was.
"Reggie! Run!" She shouted. Reggie wasn't one to hesitate. He just started running straight out the door of the high school. Camille tried to follow, but an explosion behind her made her stop and fall to the ground. Then everything went black.

Good idea posting one chapter at a time Cody, this is how they used to do it in magazines 100 years ago. They'd publish one chapter at a time to get people reading... I'm excited to read the whole thing this way!

This is such an exciting beginning! I love the way you are building suspense.
