RedPhoenixXHigh

First Day

I went home after I closed the door to the Mythical Office.  I grabbed the bike that was still lying on the grass and returned it, and after that I bought a soda and looked at my watch.  "Thirty minutes until the last day of school starts." I thought, "what should I do?" School had been delayed a couple of hours because of the sign ups for the highschools. 

2 months later: first day of school (fast forwarding from last day of school to first day of highschool)

I got home from the sweets shop and was excited because today was the first day of school.  My mom was gone because of her new job, "heard it pays well," I mumbled. 

"It does."

"Uh, who said that?" I asked.

I didn't get an answer so I turn around and see someone standing at the door.  It was the girl!  "Why are you here?!" I said trying to sound calm but ended up coming out with more of a scared tone, of course, I wasn't scared, was I?  I immediately started wondering about it, but that was short lived when she responded. 

"That's not important, but I see you enrolled in RedPhoenixXHigh, correct?"

"Uh, ya, I am."

"Hmmm." She glared at me, then leaves.

I run out the door to see where she went, but she was nowhere in sight.  "Weird." My watch started beeping and I look down at it.  "Ah crap!" I yelled, "I only have five minutes left to get there!" I quickly throw my stuff into my backpack and rush out the door.  I got on my bike and shot off down the road.  I take out my phone and say, "take me to RedPhoenixXHigh," my phone showed me the directions and I saw it would take me around four minutes to get there.  "Take a right on Drasic Avenue," my phone said.  I looked up and saw that Drasic Avenue was right in front of me.  "Crap!!" I exclaimed as I brake and try to turn, I end up hitting the curb and almost fall off, "that was close," I continue to follow the directions and get there with two minutes to spare. 

Once I get my schedule, I see that my first class is math.  "My first class is math." I say, disappointed in my class order.  I go to my locker and shove all my stuff in it, then I shut it and go to math class.  I walk in and look around, not everyone was here yet so there were plenty of good seats open.  I decide to pick the seat in the back corner closest to the window.  One glance outside the window and I immediately see more and more people arriving.  I hear a seat move close to me so I look over and see the girl.  I guess she didn't see me looking at her because she went to look at my ID that I had gotten with the schedule.  "Uh can I help you?" I ask.

She looks up at me stunned then says, "no, no, I was just looking out the window."

I look at her like she's crazy, and she must've gotten it because she sighed and said to me, "I really wasn't looking out the window."

"No, really?" I say in a sarcastic voice.

"I'll, I'll tell you later."

And just like that she goes back over to her desk which I see is on the other side of the room opposite to me.  Since it's the first day of school I got through all of the classes with no homework, once the bell rings for the final class to end I go to my locker and see the girl standing at it.  "Oh, your finally here!" She smiles as she moves out of the way.

I get my stuff and once I pack my bag, she leads me to this building at the back of the school.  She explains that it's a club building for the Biology Research club.  "So why did you bring me here?" I ask.

"Because I want you to join it." She says.

"Why would I want to join it?"

"Just join it." She says as she drags the words along.

I look at her then look at the building, after a couple of minutes I finally say, "where's the sign up sheet?"

She smiles and hands me an envelope.  "Give it to me tomorrow," and with that she leaves.  I ride home with the envelope in my pocket.  When I get home I see my mom hasn't gotten home yet, so I open the door and throw my backpack on the floor.  I take out the envelope and open it, Sign up sheet for the Biology Research Club, is what it reads.  "Do I really want to sign up for this?" I ask myself as I read over the information, the club meets everyday after school.  "Everyday." I sigh, "I mean I might as well do something."

I fill out the requirements for the club and I suddenly hear the door open.  I shove the envelope under my bed and look to see who it is.  "Just my mom," I thought, and well I thought wrong.  A guy in all black is there.  "What the hell?!" I whispered, he turned around and must have seen me because he started in my direction, "ah crap." I go under my bed and grab my old baseball bat from when I played baseball.  I see his feet in the room and I hold my breath, hoping he won't hear me.  After what felt like forever he exits the room and I hear the door close, I start to calm down when I hear he isn't gone.  I hear a loud BAM and I felt a pain in my chest.  I hear him leave the room again and I wait a little longer before I get up from under the bed.  I look around and see red, and see my hands are covered in the stuff.  I feel another pain in my chest and look down and see a giant blood stain in my shirt.  I shouted  "Crap!" And I start to black out.  For the last few seconds I imagined the girl, her long black hair, and that's the last thing I see before I collapse.
