The Ascended

Monday

I was woken up with a cup of cold water in my face and a "Bro, we're late." I woke up acting grumpy and shoved my best friend to the ground. I then run to the bathroom so I can shower first, but he is faster me. My best friend caught up to me quickly.

"I'm going to shower before you." I say faintly between breaths.

"Screw you, I'm going first." said David, my best friend of ten years. We both continued running toward the bathroom, but my little sister, Gloria, beats us to it.

"Are you serious?!" David and I say in unison.

"We are late and in desperate need of showers!" yelled David.

"You snooze, you lose." states Gloria with a hint of victory in her voice.

"Now what?" I say to David as I turn to him.

"We have no choice, but use a lot of deodorant and apply a crap ton of cologne." He simply replies.

"But I was going to ask out Alyssa tip the dance today." I tell him in a whining voice.

"As if, you have been crushing on her since like the third grade and haven't made a move." He said.

"Whatever." I simply say back to him. We walk back to my room, I go into the closet and change. As I'm changing I notice that there is a charcoal black design running up half my leg, but I shrug it off as nothing because I assumed David drew on me while I was sleeping. We finished changing, used the cologne, and got into the car and my mom took us to school.

"Thank you letting me stay the night and for giving me a ride, Mrs. Moreno." said David in a polite tone.

"It was nothing and you are always welcome in my house, David." my mom, Karen, said. As we are going to school. David and I started a thumb war game in which I lost horribly. We got to school late by ten minutes, then we just ran to first period. David went to Art class and I went to History, which is so boring, it was followed by Math, it was fun because we had a substitute teacher and we ended up watching a movie. In third period, Biology, the class was going to dissect frogs but when I touched one it came to life, hoped around, stopped, and fell down dead. A couple girls screamed, people backed away, and the teacher was shocked. Instead of continuing with the dissection, the teacher assigned book work and tried to figure out the frog problem. Lunch followed Biology, which I had with my best friend.

"Third period was so wired today." I told David, who was acting a bit secretive. I told what happened during third and he didn't respond."What's happened today?"

"You know the girl you like, Alyssa?" David said quietly.

"Yeah." I said suspiciously.

"Well today in second period, she zoned out, her eyes had faint green tint to it, and she started muttering something in some foreign language." He said, while he was staring at the school's mystery meat sandwich.

"Whatever dude." I told him as I got up and walked away.

The rest of the day was really boring. So the remaining three periods flew by fast. After school I went home did my homework and fought for control of the t.v. I ate dinner and stayed up till midnight watching some stuff on my computer.
