Midnight

The Mist

Micam's POV

With the bright morning sun peeking through my blinds and my annoying ass alarm clock ringing in my ear, I had to get up for school. As I get up out of bed, I notice a small note with my name on it.

"What is it now?" I sighed as I opened the note. It read "Dear Micam, your father and I have some business to attend to all day. We will be home around 8:30 PM tonight. I left some money on the counter for food for you, don't get into any trouble. Have a nice day! Love, Mom and Dad."

I groaned as I throw the note in the trash. They kept wanting me to call them "Mom and Dad", but I never will. To me, they're just Mr. and Mrs. Hignan. They aren't my real parents, my real parents are dead.

Already pissed off, I decide to just make myself some breakfast. I don't start class until 9:00, so I have time to relax and eat. I open the pantry and find nothing. All the food was either gross, or I wasn't allowed to touch. When I turn to get the money off the counter, Fluffinator comes bounding down the stairs, barking so loud, I swear aliens could hear it. Fluffinator was the Hignan's Pomeranian, his real name is Pookey, but I call him Fluffinator.

"Heya, bud." I say as I pet the little ball of fluff. "How are you doin'?" With a loud yap signalling he is all good, I decide to leave him and head to the 7-Eleven down the street. Mrs. Higan only gave me ten bucks, so I couldn't get anything pricey. I settle on a pack of strawberry Pop-Tarts, pay, then leave. On my way to school, I run into my best friend, Nathan.

"Hiya, Micam!" He says. "What's going on? Did Fluffinator piss on your floor again?"

"No," I replied. "I just woke up in a bad mood."

"That sucks," He paused for a moment. "Hey look, it's Tommy. She never fails to make you laugh, let's go talk to her!" Nathan grabbed my wrist and my heart skipped a beat. Why? He's just my best friend? Maybe I have feelings for Tommy? Pushing my feelings aside, we ran over to Tommy. Tommy had dark brown hair, cut in a pixie cut, she had bright green eyes, and was wearing her usual outfit choice: T-shirt and skinny jeans with a flannel around her waist.

"Hey, dudes," She waved slightly. "What's up?"

"Nothing," I replied.

"Micam's upset," Nathan said, crossing his arms, letting go of my wrist. "He woke up like this."

"Well, we don't really have time for jokes..." Tommy said, her voice shaking slightly. But before Nathan and I could ask why, Nathan gasped.

"What's wrong?" I asked. But I soon found out what was wrong, blue-grey mist formed around my hands, the same mist was in front of me, taking the shape of something. I let out a yelp and jumped back, but I fell and landed on my butt.

"What do I do?!" I said, looking at my hands. "I don't know what I'm doing!"

"Just stay calm..." Nathan said. "How did you do this?!"

"I-I don't know! It just happened!" I closed my eyes and willed for this to stop. I doubt it will work, but I don't have any better ideas.

"Micam!" Tommy said, happily. "You did it! It's gone!" I opened my eyes and looked at my hands. The mist was gone, so was the mist in front of me.

"What the hell was that?!" Nathan said as he helped me up.

"I-I..." I looked down at my hands. "I don't know..."

"Has this ever happened before?" Tommy asked.

I thought for a moment. This happened a couple of times... But they couldn't know. I don't want my friends to think I was a freak. "No..." I answered.

"Well, no matter what's going on, we're here for you." Nathan said, smiling. I looked at him and caught his light purple eyes. Nathan had the best look. He had white blond hair, light pinkish purple eyes, pale skin, and the best smile. I blushed slightly realized I was staring.

"Th-thanks, guys." I said smiling.

"Ok," Tommy said. "Now that we got that settled, who's that?"

When I turned my head, I wasn't prepared for what my eyes laid upon.
