Part Of Me

Chapter 1

"WAKE THE FUCK UP, VILL!!!"

My eyes shot open as I quickly sat up in my bed. My hands were shaking and I was gasping for breath. I looked around my room trying to recollect what I was dreaming about, only remembering nothing. I looked at my clock and read the time, 6:40. Almost time to get up.

I got out of bed and walked over to the window. The early morning sun, shining through the curtains. I opened them, pulled up the blinds and opened the window. The sun was just now over the horizon and lighting up half of the sky. I always loved the sunrise, it reminds me of when I was little, back when everything was good and easy.

A loud crash from next door, broke me out of my day-dreaming making me jump a little. I stuck my head out of the window more and looked at my neighbor's house. My neighbor, Mr. Murkowski was laying next to a pile of toppled over trash cans with a beer bottle in his hand. He was a bit of a grouch, especially when he's drunk.

I couldn't really say much about it though, his son is one of my friends, Ryan. It's no wonder how he turned out like he is. Shy, jumpy, always thinking your going to hit him.

I decided it was time to get ready for school and started my morning routine. I took a shower for about 15 minutes while I thought about what might happen today. I got out, grabbed my towel and dried myself off. After wrapping the towel around my waist, I opened the door to let some of the steam out and turned to my steam covered mirror.

I drew a smiley face where my head was on the mirror and tried to match my face to it. After some failed attempts, I gave up and wiped away some of the steam. I looked down and grabbed my toothbrush and put some toothpaste on it.

I looked back into the mirror and saw someone else looking back at me. I jumped back, dropping my toothbrush on the floor. I took another look at the guy in the mirror and tried to focus. It was me, but...wasn't. This guy had a look to him that made me kinda shutter. His eyes, were different color the left was a ocean blue, where the other was a amber color.

I turned my head to the right a bit and watched him do the same.

"What is this?" I asked, his lips mouthing what I said.

He grinned, which made my mouth grin too.

"That's no way to greet someone." He said, crossing our arms.

I stared at him for a while, until I heard my alarm go off from the other room. I looked back at my room for a second and then looked back at my reflection. He was...gone, and my normal reflection had taken his place.

By then, the steam was almost completely gone and I leaned closer to the mirror. I tapped on it, to make sure that wasn't some kind of prank, which would have been a pretty elaborate one if you ask me.

I looked down and shook my head vigorously. After deciding that what had just happened, was just some sort of hallucination, I went back to my normal routine, still a little edgy.

I went back to my room and started to get dressed. I put on a pair a blue-jeans and a my new red t-shirt I bought the other day. Then I put on my black hooded jacket that I wear all the time, slipped my shoes on and went downstairs. I quickly made and ate my breakfast because I only had a few minutes until the bus to school comes.

After grabbing my things I yelled my goodbyes to my parents that were still sleeping in their bed, and headed out the door.

I walked down the steet to the stop sign at the end of the block. As I waited for the bus I check my phone and noticed someone had commented on a story I wrote on Wattpad.

After replying, I put my phone away and looked at Ryan's house, his Dad still laying on the ground. Then the door to the house opened and Ryan came out, late as usual. He came over to where I was and we shared a conversation together, before the bus came around corner and picked us up.

As the bus made the rest of its stops, Ryan was rambling on about something about a game that he plays, while I was looking out the window staring off into space. I wondered if what happened this morning would happen again, Untill someone called my name.

Hey everyone, just thought I'd say that the character (Vill) is based off of Vill47 on Wattpad. If you don't know who he is, I highly recommend checking out his profile and some of his books.

And a special thanks to Vill for everything, and I hope I did good on chapter one...besides the fact that it was boring.
