Eye-Lock and the Mystery of the Stars

Chapter 19

Ann was serving the food cautiously, trying to not spill the soup out of the plates. She served very quickly to her husband, Fred and herself and as fast as she served the food, they gave thanks and started eating. I was looking at the family portrait they make together, where trust was fundamental, even though Fred just lied today. Well, it was me but he didn't said anything. Any-who, they just remind me of my family that was up there and I know that I've said this an awful lot, but I feel like a piece of my soul has been ripped out of me, leaving it aside, letting it there alone so time would give it the putrefaction and corruption the minister desire.
"Ignoring of what happened today, how was school Stefan." Emmanuel asked taking the spoon full of vegetables into his mouth.
"It was very good I guess. I really enjoyed it." I answered.
"Did you made any friends?" Emmanuel asked curiously. Friendship a word that tasted like gall to me right now.
"I didn't." I replied looking at the broccoli from my plate.
"You'll make as time passes, don't worry." Emmanuel said giving me a smile, which soothed me.
I kept eating and enjoying the quality time of my now, constituted family, although, Fred seemed to be very depressed. Something that scared me, because when he was angry, he nearly killed me, I don't want to wonder what would happen if he's depressive. He kept playing with the food, ignoring the family conversation.
"Excuse me, I'm not in the mood." Fred said standing up, walking towards the stairs and went to his room. Ann said nothing, and so did the same his father. Both were just too entertained with the conversation, that they didn't notice at all. I ate my food calmly, but still, I was worried for Fred. Since I lied for him, he's been acting strange. As far as I know, he must be very thoughtful. I finished my food, and went to take a nice hot bath, because I was in crucial need for water. Hot water, that's just soothing. I turned on the shower and through it, drops of hot water flew carefully. I took my shirt off and well everything else and I started enjoying my bath. Though, when I started scrubbing my body with the soap, through my waste and pelvis I felt a few buttons. I, very scared, was astonished by this. Like "what the heck is this." Everything had skin, but it had buttons. I took a bath yesterday and I didn't felt this crappy thing. I ended the bath and pushed the button. Believe or not, I started flying. My belt of flying was embedded to my body completely. I couldn't washed it out or even trying to take it off, it was useless. I was very surprised by this. What can I do with this? Interesting. Very interesting. But I ignored that, knowing that in one moment, that could be of great help for my cause and I just didn't wanted to complicate myself more with this. So, I went to Fred's room carefully and he was laying on his bed, reading a book. I went to my bed. Air bed, which left a big pain in my back. Anyways, I was really thinking what to say to that little monster. Sorry, human.
"What are you reading?" I asked scare-fully. He didn't answered.
"You there Fred?" I sneered. He didn't replied.
"Are you ok?" I asked. Gosh he's stubborn.
"Now that I think it. I'm not ok stupid." Fred replied scornfully, reading his book with great concentration.
"Then, what's the matter with you?" I asked once again. I just can't believe he answered the first question. He looked at me. Second time he looks at me. This has to be something important, so I need my 100% attention to this guy.
"Why you didn't told mom the truth? You could have seen me grounded and enjoyed it." He asked, putting his book away. He sat slowly putting his elbows on his lap. He had a point, I could have enjoyed that, but I knew that that wasn't going to bring me any pleasure, so I took advantage of this situation. I really wanted to befriends with this hearted stoned guy.
"Well, as hard as to believe this, I didn't wanted to see you in trouble." I replied, looking at him directly.
"But why? What I did to you was bad." He said absentmindedly.
"It's ok, I can go to your mom and tell her everything that happened. Would you like that?" I said sarcastically. I just can't understand this character.
"No! No! No! I'm ok, I'm completely fine." Fred said looking outraged.
"That's what I thought." I replied. He turned a little, but he had the intention to talk.
"By the way, you're name does sound like a clown." He said laughing. He's getting on my nerves. Saucers, we need to take him to surgery. That was a joke by the way.
"Well, I didn't had the chance to choose my name, neither my parents so I'm stuck with it." I said.
"How could your parents not pick your name?" He asked suspiciously. Me and my stupid mouth. It just sort of slipped out
"Never mind ok, I think that I'd understand myself." I said weakly. Change the subject, now.
"Oh and there's another thing. You were a drama queen, fainting in front of everybody, by just eating meat!" He said. Is this guy dumb or something?
"I freaking told you that I couldn't eat it!" I said madly.
"I didn't knew! I thought you were joking. In fact, I didn't even knew you would actually faint." Fred said. He has neurological problems people, there's no need to be alarmed people.
"Next time I won't be there to safe your skin, Fred." I objected.
"I didn't asked for you to safe my skin. You did it because you wanted it." He said. He had the miserable point. I hate this. I just... Ugh...
"Why are you so hard to get along? You're like freaking stone." I asked honestly. I had to let that out, this guy has been so stubborn that I really want to know why is that.
"That's just the way I am and just for you to know, I don't know you completely. What if you're a murderer or something." He sneered. If I was a murderer, he wouldn't be here by know. Just kidding people.
"So you're saying that if you could get to know me better, you would be nicer?" I asked curiously.
"Maybe. Maybe not." He said. What if I use my belt to show him that I'm from another planet? That would be amazing, you see; ignoring the possibilities that he could send me to the authorities or run like a little girl, but he could understand my situation. That's a very reasonable idea.
"I promise that you will get to know me better." I said giving him my hand so he could shake it.
"You real?" He asked.
"Yes" I replied and he gave me his hand and we shook. I had a new deal and I have to accomplish it.
"Is it going to be now?" He asked.
"In the right time, at the right moment." I replied. Connection is downloading!
"And why not now?" He asked once again. Ok this guy needs help. I'll just cancel the downloading for a moment and just ignore this moment for a while.
"Is my life, I'll tell you whenever I want and when I feel like it." I sneered.
"You're so disrespectful." He said.
"Look who's talking." I said sarcastically.
"Did you just called me disrespectful?" He asked me, looking for some books on his bookshelf. Do I have to repeat myself people? I believe that I speak sufficiently loud so I can be heard.
"No, not at all." I replied. Fred said nothing and so he kept reading a book he picked from his bookshelf and laid down on his bed, trying to relax from a day of school. And a day of torture. I just kept thinking if I should show Fred my belt, well, what the belt does. Is it safe? Is it important? I'm really thinking this over through and I'm starting to have second thoughts about it. Eye-Lock, the second planet with life, not a soul in earth have heard of this. Would he believe me? Would he react bad? I had a lot in mind, but I wanted a long sleep.
"Good night Fred." I said.
He didn't replied.
