I place the last box on the floor to my new room. This is the third house I've lived in this year.I start to open one of the boxes when my older brother walks in.
"Hey, Dan, I need to talk to you"
I turn around and face my door and sit down.
"What do you need?" I ask
"Reminder, you can't trust anyone. No matter how close you are to them, no one can be trusted."
"I know, I'm always told that when we move. It's too dangerous for anyone to know. No matter who I tell, the secret gets out"
"That's why you shouldn't tell anybody" he stands up and pats me on the shoulder. "It's my senior year, I'd like to stay in one school for at least 2 months."
He walks out of my room, leaving me to sit in silence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up the next morning to my alarm clock blaring in my ear. I violently slap my alarm until it finally turns off. I check my phone to see the time.7:45
I bolt out of bed and start to get ready. In 15 minutes I have to be seated in a desk for my first day at my new school.
I race towards one of the boxes, looking for my black skinny jeans and struggle to put them on.
I grab the shirt that is in the top of the next box and throw it on.
My hair is still straightened from the previous day, so I keep it how it is. I grab my bag and my phone and run out the door to walk alone to school.
The sun is just rising, but the heat is already unbearable. Wearing all black all the time has its ups and downs, but it's not like I own anything else.
I finally make it to my new school. I step inside the gates and hope for the best.
I try not to talk to anyone so I don't let people in.
Talking leads to friendship, friendship leads to secrets, secrets end up getting leaked, and I have to move again.
It's better if I stay away from everyone.
I'll just have a negative attitude towards everyone.
I pull a "don't talk to me, I'll bite your head off" expression on my face. People part from me and let me through.
I walk straight towards my first period after getting my schedule and locker number.
I make my way towards the back of the classroom and sit down. I take out my phone and scroll through tumblr until I'm interrupted.
I jump at the sound of a bag slamming onto the desk beside me. I look up and see a fragile looking boy with jet black hair. I glare at him when he makes eye contact with me.
"I-I-I uh, I'm sorry" he squeaks "I-I-I'm Phil"
I look him up and down and go back to my scrolling.
Throughout the class I had the burning sensation that someone was staring at me.
I turn my head to see Phil staring at me. He looks away almost instantly after I look his direction.
"Phil, stop it" I say too loudly
"Mr. Howell, Mr. Lester, detention after school today,"
I glare over to Phil and continue to pay attention to the lesson.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The final bell of the day rings throughout the school. I pick up my things and head towards the room for detention.Of course, there are no other seats than the one next to Phil.
I walk over and sit next to him.
"Hey!" Phil says way too cheerfully
"I'm not your friend" I say sternly, not looking in his direction
"Well, you're new, I thought you might like some friends"
"I don't need friends, I stay alone"
"Why? Everyone needs friends"
"Well I don't" I say, finally looking at Phil.
"Ok, detention starts now, no talking, no eating, no sleeping" announces the old lady at the front of the room.
I pull out my text book and balance it to pretend I'm reading. I take out my phone and start to scroll through Twitter.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After what seems like days, the hour is finally up and we are released from the crammed room.I walk down the hall, hands in pockets, keeping my attention at my feet. I walk out of the school on my way home when I hear a yell.
It sounded faint and precious, too soft to be in this part of town. Dark alleyways surround me and I walk towards the one where the noise is coming from.
Two men have cornered a small looking guy. They have a gun pulled on him. I get a glimpse of the face.
It's Phil
He looks so small and scared. The guys ask for whatever is in his bag but Phil refuses.
I could be making a huge mistake, but I don't want to see Phil in this much trouble, no matter how annoying he is.
"Hey!" I yell
The two overly muscular guys turn their attention towards me. The one on the left faces the gun towards me.
"You saw nothin" the man's finger rested on the trigger, he could pull it at any moment.
"I saw enough" I reply, it's been a long time since I've done this, maybe I'm making a huge mistake.
I walk closer to the man and lift my hand up. I make sure to concentrate as I envision choking him.
It works
I squeeze my fist tighter and throw him against the brick wall, the gun falls to the ground.
I lift the man up the wall, almost to the roof of the building, then release my hand. The man falls to the ground.
I make eye contact with the other guy. Instead of looking scary and harmful, he looks petrified.
The man looks at me then at his friend. He then runs away in fear, the other guy following behind him.
"D-D-Dan?" Asks Phil
I jump at the sound of his voice, I honestly forgot he was there.
I turn and face towards him and wait for his reaction.
Instead of the usual, "No way! That's so cool!", "how do you do that?" "Where did you get those powers?"
Phil just gives me a crooked smile and then hugs me.
I awkwardly hug him back, just patting his back a couple of times.
"Thank you s-so much for saving me!" Phil squeals after the awkward embrace finishes.
I scratch the back of my neck and reply "no problem, it was nothing"
"You saved my life! I thought those g-guys would've killed m-me! I o-owe you my life!"
"You don't have to do anything. Besides not tell anyone what happened in this alley, for your sake, and mine." I say sternly
"I promise" Phil replies
I turn my foot and walk out the alley, back to my house. I don't bother to unpack, because I have a feeling we're going to be moving soon, yet again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey guys!I'm sorry if this is very shitty, but I have a story line and I'm not sure if I will go with it or not, it might not be well thought out so, hopefully I won't stop updating this and will actually finish it.
(Looks at the three other stories I've started then randomly stopped writing)
