The Athlete & The Mathlete

As I walked out of the living room I noticed Jason got up off the floor and followed me into the kitchen.

"Jason are you thirsty?"

"No, but thank you."

"Okay, but it's your loss."

"What is?"

"I don't know hahaha."

"Oh ok."

I heard the front door open. Then I heard footsteps. I grabbed a pot as a weapon.

"Jason get behind me." I whispered.

"No I can protect myself." He whispered back.

The footsteps got closer, which as they got closer the steps got louder.

"CARLY IM HOME!" Anthony yelled.

He turned the lights on and I was standing there ready to whack him with it.

"OH MY GOD CARLY YOU SCARED ME!! Put the pot down Rapunzel you don't want to hurt anybody."

"I'm not Rapunzel you smartass. You may be smart but I think you need to get your eyes checked since you're bli-"

"Shhh hold on" Anthony pushed his finger on my lips.

"Wh-" he interrupted me again.

"I heard something upstairs. Give me that." He took the pot from my hands.

Jason and I followed behind Anthony who was carefully and cautiously walking up the stairs. Anthony stopped in his tracks and kinda turned his head.

"Carly I want you and Jason to leave right now this instant and I want you to go to their place and stay there ok?" He said calmly over his shoulder.

"Why?" I peaked over his shoulder and saw a man like figure. "Who the fuck is that?"

"I don't know but I don't want you to get hurt so just go."

"No. I refuse."

"Carly this is not up for discussion. I'm oldest here, you're leaving and not looking back. I'll call you when it's safe to come home ok?"

"Fine Anny...I love you..a lot. Be safe." I hugged him and kissed his cheek.

"I love you too Carls."

Me and Jason left the house as fast as we could. We were walking down the street then I felt something hit my head. I looked up and more fell on me. Suddenly it starts pouring rain. Within seconds Jason and I are soaked, then out of no where hail started coming down. Hail as big as golf balls coming down like meteors. We could barely hear anything.

"WHAT DID THIS COME FROM!?" I yelled at Jason.

"I DONT KNOW! THE WEATHER MAN DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT A SEVERE RAIN AND HAIL STORM!"

"DID YOU SEE THAT!?" I yelled as I pointed at the sky.

"DID I SEE WHAT?!" He asked.

"WAIT FOR IT!....THAT!!" I shouted while pointing still.

"THE LIGHTENING?! I KNOW I SAW THAT! DO YOU HEAR THAT?!" He questioned.
