My name is Hades Jenkins, full name Haydyn, I'm 16 years old and a junior in high school! Yeah, I know, 16 in grade 11? I'm the youngest in the grade, and my best friend is miss superstar senior, Alice! I've known her ever since I was born, actually! Believe it or not she was there at the hospital to witness my birth! Now that I think about it, it was probably really traumatic for her... Hopefully she doesn't remember that. Every morning she picks me up for school and we drive over to Starbrooks to get our usuals. We're pretty close, and maybe you could consider us siblings! She's my sister from another mister, you know? I'm also pretty close to her cousin, Quinn. Alice has an older brother, and we used to also be friends, but now he's older, and so am I.
It was a quiet ride to Starbrooks. It's not supposed to be quiet, though. Alice would always make a funny joke and we'd laugh the entire time, even to school, but no. It's dead silent. Can't she make this less awkward? Alice was always known for being extremely outgoing, talking to anything that could talk to her back.
The picture I saw was pretty horrific. And what scared me the most, is that Alice got it too, and it was actually real. Whoever did it, why would they send it to me and my best friend? Are we important or something? Is it some sort of cryptic messaging I don't understand? Did they send it to anyone else? Is there some puzzle we have to figure out? I've never been good at puzzles, so it was a little stupid to get me involved.
We pulled into the Starbrooks parking lot.
"Yippee!" I cheered, getting out of the car. "I think I might try something new today."
Alice hopped out as well, meeting me in front of the doors.
"Why's that?"
"I dunno, it just feels like a 'try something new' kind of day."
"Alright... I'll try something new too!"
We both went inside, our moods uplifted just a good amount. Still, the picture of that dead person lingered in my mind, no matter how hard I tried not to think about it...
"Hi, Hades, Alice. Your usual, as always?" the barista, Sophie, asked us.
"Actually..." Alice started, looking intently at the menu.
As she finished her order after a good few minutes, Sophie turned to me, which made me more nervous to pick something new. I'm used to people ordering for me...
"What about you Hades?"
"I want, ermmmmmmm," I began, but I really didn't know what I wanted yet. So many amazing and delicious choices, I can't just choose one... "Get me a mango tea coffee, and a blue raspberry slushie with extra whipped cream, and a strawberry poptart ice cream cappuccino with extra poptart... do you think you could add sprinkles to that? And finally I'd like a vampire cheesecake! Please- and thank you."
