A.F.G.: Academy for the Gifted

Jinx! He's your roommate

Narrator

Think that you are on a deadline to write a book or a song in a day but you are in line to publish it. Think that the line is very very long and you have waited at least 10 minutes. That's what Darius feels when he was waiting for the bus. Its already been two days since the day he got that letter. His aunt woke him up early because he forgot to pack up last night, only to arrive very early.

Darius POV

Alright future me, this is Penny and I'm with my cousin Darius before his trip to the AFG!" Penny said, pointing her camera at me. She's what you call a lover of self image and reputation. Right now, She's currently filming me and her (mostly her as I impatiently wait for the bus) "Remind me again why you're recording this. From the way you announce this is like you're posting this on youtube or something" I said "Oh come on, please tell me you're not still pessimistic about this" She said, pouting "I'm just filming this to commemorate this day you're going to the AFG for the first time!" I rolled my eyes "I see no point of this" I said "Oh cheer up dear nephew, you should be excited. Imagine, you're on an whole new adventure. Just think all the tings you could do there and your beginning is now, which is Penny is filming to relive this moment" Auntie said "Like I said before, I see no point of this" I said. Aunt Celestine frowned " Come on, at least try to be positive" An Idea formed in my head and I grinned "Okay dear Auntie, I think this trip to school is very exciting and if I somehow die, I'll at least experience experience the excitement of going to AFG instead of the excitement of being there" I said with a fake cheerful voice "come on Darius, be more really positive and not scary positive" Aunt Celestine said, shivering "Okay fine. I guess I am a little excited about going there" I said, smiling "I mean think about it, all the things I could learn about, the exhilarating thrill of danger and all the new friends I could make!" I exclaimed, all riled up "How amazing you can turn from the world's most gloomiest pessimist to the most cheery optimist" Penny said "What? You told me to be more optimistic, didn't you?" I asked "Yeah but its still surprising how fast you can become from being gloomy to cheerful" Aunt Celestine said "Yeah well,  that's just how I am" I stated. Though its true though, one moment I'm a pessimistic tough guy and the next thing you know, I'm now a cheerful optimistic "Attention all passengers, the bus bound to the AFG will depart in five minutes, please board the bus now" "Oh, gotta go Aunt. Will call you as soon as I get there. Good Bye!" I said, Hugging both her and my cousin "Good bye Darius!" My aunt shouted, as I ran off "I'm going to miss him" Penny said. Suddenly, I stopped. God, wrong way!, I thought. I turned around and ran back "Sorry, wrong way" I said as I ran passed by them, waving back, I said once more "Good bye"

Good Bye!" Darius shouted. Celestine sighed "For a guy so smart, He acts completely dumb sometimes" she said "I think his IQ also changes with his attitude" Penny stated "Still, its kinda funny seeing him like this" Then a shadowy figure appeared "He takes after both from his parents, you know" He said "You know, for a being of darkness, you talk a lot" Penny glared "Well she DOES have a point you know" Celestine said "Why do you guys always gang up on me?" He asks "Because of a whole lot of reasons" Celestine said with a glare "Oh come on Celes, its been 14 years, can't we just drop it?" The shadow said in distress. She only sighed "What only matters is that we fix this mess and restore our family again" She said. The shadow, with his red eyes gazing upon the distance " I can only hope this can be easy as I hope to be
