Who Cares?

Sam: Second day

When I fall asleep, I'd sleep for as long as I want. I didn't care, I could hibernate if I wanted. Although now I have to go to school. It's the second day and if it's anything like yesterday I won't go till at least 11am, since there was no one to forcefully get me up, and make me go against my will. Which I didn't miss, but when I opened my eyes there was an unfamiliar aggravating sound that rang in my ears coming from my phone. I'd reach for it but it's so far.

Noticing suddenly my skin felt as if it was on fire I jumped from my bed, and crashed to my strangely clean floor? The windows curtains had been pulled back and the blazing hot sun was cooking me as I'd slept. I grabbed my phone, an alarm had been set for 7am..? "What?" I never set an alarm.. Especially for 7am and the floor, no my room was clean! I mean don't get me wrong, I don't live in a dump, but my clothes, books, and a whole bunch of other crap was put away. Curious of what's going on I shut off the alarm and went to the kitchen to grab breakfast. Mmm potato chips and a sprite should be fine. I closed the fridge and headed for the door, looking at the temperature it was 80° on heat in here, no wonder it was like a sauna. I'd turned it down and walk off for school forgetting everything that had just happen this morning.

For once I was actually early to school, I walked everyday. I hated crowded and annoyingly loud buses and I didn't have a car plus school was only 10 minutes away so it was no big deal. School on the other hand I guess was okay, being myself I wasn't into anything really through my whole high experience. No clubs, no sports, not anything really, except my friends. Just the five us hanging out since elementary, you know those days sharing juice and animal crackers while playing out in the sand at recess, telling kids someone gots cooties. Middle school was more like crushes, bad hair cuts, and drama with people who got on your last nerve. Then came high school, I don't really know what word I could fit every little detail into then to just say it was crazy. Everyone seemed so innocent during kindergarten through 8th grade but as people grow up you get to really see who they are and what they've grown into, it was actually kind of scary. Seeing people and things you never thought possible could happen to them, did in the most chaotic way. Thank God this is my last year.

As I walked on to campus I saw a lot of familiar faces, but only one stood out with the most evil glare you could ever give someone as if they were wishing they could kill you with that single glare. I was surprised I noticed them in the huge crowd they were in but it was definitely him, Eric.
