Living In A Lie

Chapter 1

I woke up to the alarm at 6:00am, I hit my hand on the clock to make it stop. I got up and looked around in my trashed room shoot I have to clean this, I thought. As I continued to fold my cloths and get ready for 8:00, I heard someone knock on my bedroom door. I opened the door to see my mother. "Good morning mom," I greeted, "Good morning sweetie, I have made breakfast for you." She said. I did the rest of the things you'd do in the morning and headed off to school.

As I was walking I saw my friend Carter. "Hey dude," He greeted, "You heading to school?" He had an excited look on his face, and why was the answer to question he had asked me was so obvious? Was he expecting another answer? "Yea, why?" I asked, "Oh nothing, just-" he hesitated "testing you to see if your skipping school or not." He chuckled awkwardly. I rushed off to school.

Questions raced through my head. Was Carter mistaking me for someone? Was he lying of that excuse? Why was it about "skipping school?"

I decided to ignore it, I'd thought it'd be best if it were out of my mind. I saw Xavier before I walked in the school, he seemed pretty off too. He talked about after school and plans but I had no idea about it. He said "Hey are you coming to 'the meeting'" I freaked out and questioned him but he jumped and said "Forget I said anything."

Strange things is, when I was talking while walking straight, I turned around and he disappeared. I figured he took his own way to homeroom.

I went to the first class, but Carter and Xavier weren't there! I wondered if they were late but 30 minutes into the class and they still aren't there! I freaked out, I hated when my friends hid stuff from me. I had to figure it out, but before class ended the announcements came on: "Sorry for the interruptions but, a disaster has occurred.." the principal said.
