Project: Insanity

Chapter 1

I was at school and everyone was saying 'Hey Eudie!', 'What's up??', things like that. Of course I greeted back. I was in the eighth grade hallway and people were chatting with others. I was just talking to my best friends Paulie, Nathan, Carol, and Dave. Paulie and I are the best of friends. She's the one I always go to for help or to tell a joke. The woman also loves goats and oranges. The girl always got an orange in her mouth and that's what I love about her!

She was telling me about her stepdad being an ass as always. Nathan was just standing there pushing his glasses up to his face and listening. Carol was just getting her supplies for the first class she was going to have. I told everyone I had to go since I needed to check in to my homeroom so I wouldn't get detention. I never got detention before and I'm not risking the chance of having one.

Anyway, I saw DJ and Juls walking down the hallway with Alex. I decided to go up to them and greet them quickly before I check in. I asked the the three guys how was everything at home because I care about people more than I care about myself. "We're alright. I got grounded though. How 'bout you?" Juls answered my question. I smiled slightly. "Of course you did. I'm hanging in there, thanks for asking." Alex looked at me with a concern look. "Is it because of-" I paused him right there. "I don't want to talk about it. You guys know I hate that topic." It was a sensitive topic that I didn't like to talk about. "Hey, can we not talk about my issues right now? I gotta go to homeroom." Juls and Alex apologized and DJ hugged me. (he comforts me like that) "Hang in there, Eudie." I nodded and gave the other two a handshake that we always do, then I went to homeroom to calm myself.  I saw Paulie and she was yelling at a teacher. She then threw her orange at the teacher. "QUIT RUSHING ME." I started to chuckle and shook my head at her ridiculousness. I then saw Al and greeted him with a smile. "Hey, Al!" He looked at me and did a nod and continued walking. We used to be real close and some things went downhill and mistunderstood.

The announcements came on and the Pledge of Allegiance was being said and I jogged to my homeroom, placing my hand on my chest to be respectful. My teacher Ms. P saw me come in just in time and she checked me in. "Oh thank God." I sighed and sat down, taking out my sketchbook and notebook to disturb myself with. I suddenly set my mind into something I dreamt of the other night.

I had a dream that I was in a dark room and my body was just standing there emotionless. I sensed some one else was in the room with me. I heard somebody's high heels clamping down my way. "Hello Eudie, you have been chosen." The feminine voice spoke, including my name on their tongue. "What? How did she know my name? My head started spinning. "Who's there? How do you know my name?! What am I chosen for?!" I looked around confusingly. "Why, you are chosen to fight!" The feminine figure exposed herself by walking into the light where I was.

"To fight?!"

"Yes! You're going to be part of my army."

"Army?!" I jolted. "I'm going to be at war?!" My body froze immediately. "Don't panic, I will explain much more when the whole army meet in person."

"Whole arm-?! W-what-"

"The whole army. Everyone who will be fighting by your side."

I was still confused. Wait, she said 'in person'. What the hell does she mean by that? "What do you mean by 'in person'?!" She went to pet my head. "This is a dream you're having." Her hand was now away from my head by force. "Why should I beleive this is true anyway?!" The woman smiled and told me the war was for real but she was telling me this in my dream since it's the only time she's able. When I'm asleep...

"The reason why I chose you is because of your bravery, aggressiveness, and many more! You are well gifted Eudie!" The woman was right for choosing me for one of her soldiers. I AM brave. I AM aggressive. I ALSO AM very brutal to be honest. The woman in the green cloak put her hand on my shoulder and smiled once again. "I have to go now. You must wake up." She said. "I will see you again in your sleepy mind." I then woke up after she left my sight.

Other than that, I got a text from Paulie. 'Lmaoo I got in trouble I threw my orange at the teacher XD' she texted me. I then laughed softly to myself and put my phone away so I won't get in trouble. Homeroom was over and my class was starting in my homeroom anyways. I got my project and continued to color it with the colored pencils. I don't really draw in front of anyone anymore because of my close friend who is WAY better at drawing than I am. The people at Ma's workplace say I'm good at painting and drawing but I just shrug in response saying "It ain't all that.".

Anyways, my mind was on the Medieval Fair later this week. I worked on my Medieval People poster now I needed to do what the rich people ate during the Middle Ages. My classmates were talking about sex and asking my teacher questions about girls. I would butt in if I had the chance but I rather not, y'know? I blended color with color to add some detail to the meat they ate and the fruits along with the veggies. Ms. P came up to me and looked at me coloring in the people now. She loved my artwork and she loved me as if I was her kid. Ms. P was always there for me when I needed it, I bet she'll miss me after I graduate eighth grade. "Good Job, Eudie! Keep it up!" She put a smile on her face and I blushed lightly "Thank you." I said blankly and continued. I wasn't trying to be rude, I was too concentrated on the project.

"Mew...~"

I suddenly heard something. I looked around my class with a face then slowly continued my poster. I lifted my head up and looked around again slowly.  "Huh..."

"Something wrong, Eudie?" the assistant teacher was concerned. "Nothing Ms. E. I-I'm thinking of what color I should give this guy is all." I pointed at a random food. "I'm fine. I got it!" I smiled adorably because my appearance was technically 'cute' or 'adorable'.

"Alright, Sweetie."

I continued working. Who was that? It didn't sound like that woman in my lucid dream. "You might not know me, but I'm going to be outside on the field when you go out for whatchamacallit 'recess', okay?" the childish voice was in my head. I was getting very confused with my emotions and continued my poster of edible goodness and good looking people. Class was over and I colored only a few of those foods. I gathered my things and went to the hallway. I saw Al again and I went up to Juls who was next to him and I put my hand on his shoulder. "Yo, Juls what block is it?" Al closed his locker and left our sight and Paulie was running towards me. "It's D." I nodded and looked at Al leave and I scoffed. "Ugly on the inside too now, huh?" I glared at him and I was about to walk down Paulie but she suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled it. Nathan and Dave ran towards me as well. "EUDIE! EUDIE!" Nathan started yelling my name. "WE SAW A CAT UP IN THE TREE AT THE FIELD! COME LOOK!" Paulie was yelling and spitting pulps of the ripe orange I gave her this morning. "I WAS GOING TO TELL HER!" Dave shouted at her while I was being dragged past her locker. Some people were looking at us. "CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN! FINISH YOUR FUCKING ORANGE! LOWER YOUR VOICE! WHAT IS IT?!" I yelled back.

Paulie gulped the orange and gasped. "We...saw...a cat...kitten...thing...tree!!!"

"You saw a cat in a tree on the field? The field where they play football and soccer? That field?"

"Yeah! It was staring at us for no reason!" Nathan added.

"Huh..." I tilted my head.

"You'll find out at recess!!~" The voice was heard again. I closed my eyes and pinched the bridges of my nose. I saw a picture of the kitten tilting its head happily.  "Ngh...!!"

That's when my head started to ache...
