Opening Scene: Ambridge Private Boarding Academy
Library
Date & Time: 11 June, Saturday, 07:47 am
I look up at the digital clock hanging on the wall across from my corner in the school library, no Harrington in sight thank the gods. I flip to the next page of my book when a big blob runs past me and the overhead lights flicker in response.
Uh, I would know that blob anywhere. I stand and follow after him not forgetting to bookmark the page I was on.
My tracking leads me to the storage room, where the lights are flickering like crazy. Damn no epilepsy warning. I find the blob now confirmed human in the furthest left corner by cleaning supplies.
He is crying, very quietly.
I take a seat next to him and he immediately incases me in his strong arms and continues to cry silently into my shoulder. After what felt like ions his cries turn into sniffles.
"What happened Ced?"
"She broke up with me" My eyes widen at his declaration.
"What, why?"
"I, I-" He interrupts himself with another flood of tears.
"It's okay, take your time" I try and soothe him by running my fingers through his short coily hair.
He takes in a deep breath.
"It's all my fault, I should have told her the truth years ago"
"Tell me what happened exactly"
Cedric's Point of View
Today is the day, I have to tell her the truth, everything will be fine, yeah she loves me, yeah-
My thoughts are interrupted by a sock to my face, a very smelly sock. I turn my head and stare in disgust at Jea-Woo who is currently spread across my bed.
"You're going to tear a hole into the carpet with all that pacing dude"
I hadn't even realized I was moving, I let out a sigh and flop back onto my bean bag chair with a groan, and this thing sucks.
"I hate this chair"
"Hey, I put a lot of thought into getting you that" Jea-Woo yells looking at me with narrowed eyes.
"Sure you did" Alaric yells out from my bathroom.
"What are you doing in there anyway?" I yell back at him.
He walks out with his long hair in a Mohawk and his arms covered in flames.
"Who do I look like?" He asks as he strikes a pose very similar to Rock Man's, the lead singer to my favorite heavy metal band. The sight caused me to smile.
"Yes, I knew this would get you out of your funk," Alaric says walking further into the room.
"Hey simmer down Charmander, don't set off the fire alarms" Jea-Woo blips from my bed and appears in front of my mini fridge, opening it and grabbing a tub of cherry swirl ice cream.
"Hey, don't you have your own stuff," I say standing and walking up to him intending of rescuing my favorite ice cream from him.
Just before I can grab the ice cream he blips from in front of me. He then reappears back on my bed with the ice cream and a spoon in hand.
"You're a house head you have your own mini fridge, why abuse mine?"
"Because, dear Cedric, sharing is caring"
