The Universe Hates Me

Tommy's P.O.V

After I crept out of the room leaving Jeremy in there alone with Karen, I felt bad for Karen, she just got back from the hospital and they're already bothering her. But it's just the beginning it will get worse, mark my words it will get worse.

I was deep in my thoughts that I didn't notice uncle Alex coming up and I bumped in to him "watch were your going Toms" he said playfully messing up my hair.

I continued walking past my niece and cousin, my niece calling my name, ignoring them I continued walking. I checked in my pocket for my MP3 which was there as usual. I put it back in my pocket as I intended to go on a run after lunch.

I walked to fafle falafel and went up to our usual table were Derek and Cody was sitting. "... Believe the O's beet the Jay's again!" Derek was saying as I sat down across from him. "Yeah I know it sucks" I said sarcastically.

They both sat straight up surprised by my voice. It was funny to see how scared they were from me, and that quick spark of freight! That only happens about once in a lifetime to see your friends so afraid of you! Cody turned to look at "so how does it feel to be a trader? Are you starting to regret?" He asked changing the subject. Losing it I yelled at him: "seriously, dude! Who are you? My mom?" and I stormed out of the shop.

God damn it! I can't even talk normally with my friends anymore! Why is everyone being so annoying today? First my mom making me clean the whole house, then Jeremy who wouldn't let me greet my sister when she came home and not give us a moment alone, Lily who kept me in the room while torturing my baby sister while I couldn't do a thing, and Cody for bugging me with all of his stupid questions!

Taking out my MP3 I started to run tuning out the world with music but it didn't work as I started to think about the crazy summer that has passed by. Well tomorrow is the first day of school!

Karen's P.O.V

I've been thinking through Lily's instruction. Maybe I'll find an easy way out of this mess, without getting in a big fight with her and her "gang" all I want is a few friends, some piece, and quite. At the beginning I was excited when I got the booklet I could find out who my mysterious guy is! But then I found out that everyone from the "gang" got about the same punishment. Some lost their phones, other were grounded for a few weeks or months in addition some also had to lift their grades in certain subject or stay away from Lily, there were even a few who lost their allowance!

I've been sitting on my bed, with the phone in my hand, debating. Should I call? Should I not? She said "will" so I will do it just later when there no need any more for me to do it, when there punishments are over. But then she'll be super mad and beat me up again. Well I don't need to do it today. I put away the phone, and took out my laptop, opening up my email. I found two new ones, one from Emily whom I met at sleep away camp last year and must have gotten back and sent me a summary of all the awesome stuff that I missed because I was in the hospital. The other one was from a private address and it read "if those calls aren't made by tomorrow as school starts you will be sorry you ever left that hospital". I checked the clock, it read two thirty and Tommy was still out! I hadn't seen him since he left the left the kitchen earlier, and now I need him more than most! In 18 hours I need to have finished making those calls. Or on the other hand I can just avoid them even though it's practically impossible I don't need to go back to school for a week! And with that tiredness pulled over from my schedule at the hospital this would now be nap time!
