"Hey! How'v you been ______"
"I've been doing normal, how 'bout you Andrews?"
"Well you know that party i went to last night?"
"Yeah?"
"Well.....so I was dared to kiss someone and...."
"Anddddd???"
"I kissed Ashley!"
"YOU KISSED ASHLEY?"
"Yeah! And she didn't call me a loser or backed away!"
"....that's amazing"
"Haha yeah i know right? Anyway you should've came, it would've been better with you there" Andrew shoots me a smile
"Yeah well...I have to watch my dad incase you know.." i smile awkwardly
"Yeah..."
'Oh no, I made the mood all weird again'
"Hey i had this really weird dream or hallucination yesterday" i say trying to ease the atmosphere
Micheal looked interested
"Tell me 'bout it"
"Ok so..."
*after telling him everything*
"That's-that's kinda weird"
"Hmp yeah"
"Wait if it was a dream then how come you woke up in the woods?"
"That's why I'm saying I hallucinated instead"
"But i swear on my life man, that it felt real, too real"
"Damn, you've been having these really weird dreams lately. First it was that girl exploding and being burned on a stake then it was a huge rotting octopus wreaking havoc on a large ship with only you inside and now this? Dude....those are all night terrors"
"Yeah I'm in disbelief too"
We kept chatting about other things like the popular game Mario Cart Wii
Shortly after, we arrived in school
"Eh? What happened to the school name?"
The name Jacksonville high was gone and it was replaced with "Time 2008 High"
"Oh that, someone bought the school so since they have ownership they can change the name
"Makes sense but why is there a date there? Or numbers? And what's with the 'Time' at the start? It's so weird and random"
"That's what i thought yesterday too but hell, who knows what goes in the mind of rich folks" *shrugs*
"Haha yeah i guess"
We went separate ways as he already has his schedule...plus he went to go see Ashley Winstelle anyway
After going into the library to get my schedule I walk out and head to the room 209
I look up and I swear that I could see a zero scratched off
I stop dawdling and head inside
"Good morning, Ms. Maurice"
"Good Morning to you too Heatherman"
I shoot a smile her way and she sends me one back too
Ms. Maurice is an old lady in her 70's and just like any other person in this school, besides Michael, calls me by my last name
I don't know why but I don't really care anyways.
I look around and Obviously, just like the other times, I'm the first one. I like sitting at the front so again this year, I'm allll the way at the front....it's mostly cause I can't see, even with my glasses on. Plus these glasses are like super duper old so, ain't my fault
*a while later*
*bell rings*
*students pour in one after the other*
"Ok class of 2009, today we will talk about Calculus" Ms. Maurice starts the lesson
"ok so first let's start with the basics..." I didn't hear anything she was teaching
I just stare blankly into space
*bell rings*
"Alright class, see you guys after lunch"
Ms.Beltice says
Melissa turns to me
"are you ok?"
I turn my head in her direction snapping out of my thoughts
"yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"you've kinda just been frozen this entire time. 4 periods has passed yet you were like a statue....not moving at all" I hear
the worry in her tone
'I was wondering why lunch came so quickly....it's just cause I lost track of time
I try to reassure her
"I'm just thinking about what new games will later come out this year. I mean mario cart wii is already a bomb."
"but anywayssss, you've been observing me for almost 4 hours?"
I see her start panicking
"i-it's nothing serious! I-I was just worried that's all!" she hurriedly explains
I see her take a sneak peek at me
"sureeeee"
"humph! well imma go with the girls now, see you later" she stops the conversation and heads out the door
it's not like I'm oblivious or dense...I know she likes me but I can't start a relationship with someone now...especially with my situation
I look out the window before I come to a realization
'this would prove if what happened to me yesterday was a real or not'
I go to Ms.Maurice, one of the teacher's I'm close to
*knock* x2
"hmm? who is it?"
"it's Heatherman Ms.Maurice"
"oh! do come in child"
I make my way inside the room and stand opposite to her
"Sweetie you may sit"
"ah no I'm alright, I just wanna ask you something"
"do tell" she nods at me
"um, well you see" I really don't wanna sound like a psycho
"well on the news yesterday it said there was a virus? and some killers? and.." doubt settled in as I see her face get more confused by the second
"honey the news yesterday didn't say anything about that"
I know she isn't lying to me
everyone knows she stays up just to watch the news
"ah I see, sorry to waste your time"
as I get ready to leave she stops me
"what channel did you watch the news on?"
"oh um channel 2009"
"2009? that can't be...don't all tv channels stop at 610?"
I felt my mind go blank
'that can't be' was all I was thinking
I quickly thanked her, went to my locker to get my stuff and head out the school
I bump into someone and apologize
"Heatherman is that you?"
I stop in my tracks
"Micheal?"
"dude where are you going? and why are sweating so much dude? are you sick or something?"
"I-I gotta go Micheal"
I speed walk away from him
I could hear him shout
"Go where?!"
"home" i mutter
----third person pov----
Micheal just stares at his best friend's back dumbfounded before starting to worry
Melissa and Our Mc's other friends stare at his receeding back
Melissa says "what's going on with him?"
Micheal just furrows his brows before saying
"I don't know...."
WHEW IT'S BEEN A YEAR SINCE I UPLOADED honestly I forgot about this.
