Under the Same Stars

Drama & Crimes.

I dragged my feet along the sidewalk, dreading for what was to come in the day ahead.
I walked slowly towards the bus stop, hoping and praying I had just missed it.
Unfortunately, we were an extra five minutes early.
Alexa and I began to talk about the dance coming up in a few months,
"So you think your gonna go? I mean I went with Scott last year, and Dylan just stayed home playing his video games.... Maybe this year you can go with him!"
"I dunno- I mean... I don't think he likes me like that, maybe as a friend but I don't think he likes me, I barely even know the guy!"
" Aww com'on, you guys would totally look so CUTE together" Alexandra teased.
"Oh my goodness, haha...." I paused
"You think so?!"
"Oh... So you like him?" Alexa smirked at me
"WHAT?! WHO EVER SAID ANYTHING LIKE THAT?!" I acted all shocked, but gave a small wink at the end.
We both laughed, 
"I like him, but I would really like to get to know him you know?"
"OMG! YOU JUST GAVE ME A BRILLIANT IDEA!"
"What?"
"Why don't you and Dylan grab some coffee together? Maybe study a little?"
"UM WHAT?"
"You heard me-" Alexa smiled
"Maybe you too can grab some coffee, talk about your day, and really get to know each other while me and Scott go do something else together."
Just then the bus pulled up,
"Mornin' kids' hollered the bus driver
' Morning' we replied together.
"So what do you say? You in?"
"I don't know, let me think about it."
We walked onto the bus, and found a seat
just then Dylan and Scott came in and found us sitting near the back,
"Hey Guys!"
"Really? Why don't you guys ever get up on time?"
"Dylan and I stayed up till 12 playing World of Zombies, then worked on our history project for another hour... *yawn* then ya know...."
"Is that game really all that fun?" I said
"UM YEAH! It was definitely worth staying up! We got to level 14!" Dylan exclaimed high-fiving Scott.
"Haha, wow." I replied back
------------------------------------------------------

I walked into class, hoping I could find a spot as far away as possible from Megan.

Perfect! I spotted one right near the corner of the room, where I could isolated.
I began to sit my stuff down until,
"Caitlin, that is not where I assigned you to be go sit in your assigned seat."
I grabbed all my supplies and carried them to my seat.
Megan stared at me until she got another text from her boyfriend.
She then whispered to me... "You know we could've been friends.... you just messed with the wrong person."
I didn't know what to say back,
I continued to work on my art assignment from yesterday, and attempted to focus on what I was drawing, but hardly could because she kept on staring at me.
"Um... do you need something?"
" Oh no, why would I need anything from you?"
"Can you focus on your work and not mine?"
"I already finished mine last night"
"Good for you." I said smiling
She got up, went to the teacher, and left the room.
I didn't see her come back until near the end of the class period.
I picked up my stuff and put them neatly into my bag until...
"Caitlin I need to see you" the teacher used her finger to point where I needed to be.
I saw everyone leave including Megan, I saw her give me devilish eyes and immediately left the room.
"Caitlin, Megan just told me that you've been bothering her this whole class period, you've called her mean names, you physically hurt her after school yesterday, and she's tried telling you to stop but you just won't listen, she said you kept on staring at her and it really freaked her out, Megan told me that she's too scared of you and wanted me to come and talk to you."
"Wait, I'm sorry, excuse me?"
"Caitlin. I just want you to know bullying is not acceptable here or anywhere else you hear me?"
"I didn't do any of that, she was the one who was-"
"I'm not looking for excuses I just want you to stop bothering Megan, if this happens again I'm sending you to the principals office."
I didn't see any point in arguing.
"Yes mam"
Just then the minute bell rang
I left the classroom in a hurry and finally got to gym class ONLY REALIZING THAT MEGAN WAS IN MY SECOND PERIOD CLASS!
No, no, no , no!
I got dressed in the locker room and headed out into the gym,
today's game,
Soccer.
The ball was being tossed around between players' feet, I saw Megan steal the ball from someone else
and started kicking it very violently running around the gym and then with a very powerful punch she kicked it across the gym, realizing that she was aiming for ME!
The ball came closer and closer towards me, I didn't know what to do, every time I blinked it only got closer, I moved over to the left and barely missed it...she ended up getting a goal.
Later on we continued to play soccer, or at least Megan did because she was the one who kept on intercepting the ball from people only to try to hit me.
Everytime I would miss it, or completely avoid it.
At last it was 9:05! I almost thought it was never gonna come!
I walked into the locker room, quickly changing into my clothes,
until, *BOOM*
my shoulder blade was hit with an intense force.
I looked behind me and saw that it was Megan who hit me with it,
"I saw you try to avoid that ball, ha- well, now I finally got you, toss me the ball will ya?"
I bent down, and tossed her the ball.
She then got close to me and began to whisper to me
"I want you to know that, this is only the beginning of it. Soon you'll feel trapped, helpless, hopeless."
I gulped.
"Like I said, you messed with the wrong girl, you've got yourself in a very tight situation here. Things are only gonna get uglier from here on out."
"I'm not allowing that to happen Megan."
"And what will you do to stop me? "
How could I respond back?
"Easy. I'll tell the teachers"
"Ha! You think all the teachers will believe your side of the story? I've got them wrapped around my finger. Anything you say will sound like a complete lie to them. Face it, your stuck here.... and no one but yourself can help you."
"Is that a threat?"
"No. It's more than just a threat. Its a warning of whats to come."
Just then the bell rang,
Megan picked up her bags and left the locker room,
I looked around and grabbed my clothes all over the floor, a little scared,  placed them in my bag, and raced to 3rd period.
----------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the day was a blur, I finally got off the bus with Alexa, Scott, and Dylan and headed towards the house...
"How about we all study tonight together?" I said
"Perfect Plan!" Alexa said
"I'm in!" Dylan shouted
"WHAT?! What about World of Zombies Dylan? Don't you want to get to level 25 tonight?" Scott shouted back
"I would but we really need to be more focused on our grades Scott, I can't keep on making 80's and 75's on my tests and projects!" Dylan argued back.
"Ugh, alright count me in."
We arrived at the house and set our bags down, unpacking all of our homework and pencils,
"Who wants to start with English homework?" Alexa said
"Oh yeah! I had some questions about that-" I replied
***RING*** RING***
****CALIFORNIA POLICE-ON THE HUNT FOR KING DEMON LOCATED ON EAST POND STREET,  SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA*****
Our watches went off with a loud siren then turned off,
"Homework will have to wait." Dylan said
"Everyone get in your suits, let's go, let's go!"
Alexandra and I ran upstairs and threw on our superhero suits,
"You ready?" Alexa asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm ready for this."
Everyone began running towards the front door
"You guys ready?" Dylan shouted
"LETS GO!" we all exclaimed
We all pushed down the transport button on our watches simultaneously.
Suddenly, we all found ourselves in the city face to face with King Demon.
