Chapter One: Rain

     The phone flash light goes out, the sound of a female screaming rings and the throbbing in his head stung. The feeling of fear shot at him like an arrow hitting the neck of an unlucky deer. All he could feel at this moment was the feeling of the cold air hitting his bare skin and the numbness in his cold hands.

A Gasp exits the pale boys flushed lips, he jets up, sweat dripping down his face. His dark hair sticking to his neck and face.
He looks around his dorm room and places his eyes on each poster. The first poster that he gazed at was a mad max poster, his father had given him that on his 8th birthday which sparked his interest in mad max.  He looks over to a poster from mother mother one of his favorite bands. He loves that band and couldn't stop talking about the time he first saw them live, he tends to brag to his friends about it even though at this point in time theres nothing to brag about. A sudden shock hit him, he let out a small shout and looked to his left to see his alarm clock jumping and playing lights out by mindless self indulgence. He taps the top of the alarm clock so that it could shut off. He sighs, scratches his head and stands up, "Do i have to take a shower?" he asks himself, he shrugs off the idea of a shower.
       He opens the closet and decides to wear a white and navy blue striped shirt with some jeggings. He slips into them and grabs his favorite orange hoodie from the floor.
"Now where's my phone?" he says under his breath, he begins to look around and ends up on the floor throwing stuff all over trying to look for his phone.
"Shit" he says trying his best to stay calm. A sudden knocking interups his search
"Just a moment!" he yells out.
"Yo Eric....its Malek open up" the voice from the other door announced.
"Malek...oh ok I'm opening it up hold up!" Eric the announced protagonist says in a softer tone.
He goes to the door and opens it.
"Morning" he gives a tired smile to his best friend Malek.
"Yo dude you left your phone in my room last night" Malek says tossing Eric's phone to him.
Eric stumbles to catch it.
"Thats where it was?!" He says a bit angered but relieved.
"Were you dropling by to just hand me my phone?" Eric asks closing his door.
"That and I wanna hang!"Malek scratched the back of his head
"Do you have any idea where you want to hang" Eric replied
"No....WAIT!" He yells suddenly
"Ya?!" Eric says with a confused face
"We could hang at the skate park and make fun of those assholes" he snorts a bit at the thought.
"Are you serious?...remeber last time you did that?" Eric stated
"Ya I got a taste of their shitty ass skateboarders...wasnt good" he says snorting again.
"Hey instead we should invite siarra...maybe she has a better place to hang?" Eric suggested
"Nah...she'll probs want to go to the library to study or some boring shit like that" Malek groaned
"Dude come on!" Eric says a bit bumbed out.
"Fine but if she says something lame I'm ditching" Malek responded while putting his blunt under his black alien beaney. Eric smiles brightly "thanks Malek"

      They enter Maria's kitchen a diner where they regularly hung out mostly due to the fact that siarra's mother works and owns the diner
Eric enters first and goes to the counter "morning Maria is Siarra free today" Eric asks with a sweet smile only given to future in-laws by rheir future son-in-law.
"Aw if it aint Eric and Malek my two handsome boys!" She says admiring the two adolecent boys ya Siarra is here, 9p]she's slaking in the back room y'all can take her from me since Jimmy and Ryan are heading over here".
Ryan and jimmy were siarras two older brothers.

"Siarra Jane Brookwood ya got some friends waitin' for you!" Maria says with a loud voice.
Maria seemed like a sweet mother who'd make pies and read stories about birds and princesses but she was actually a hefty woman who could lift up two propane tanks with ease.
Siarra comes out from the back door and sighs "mom you dont have to be so loud....and hey guys" she says with a bit of a flushed face due to her mother embarrassing her.
Malek snickers behind Eric
"Good morning...wanna go hang out around town" Eric says shyly
"Ya sure" she says with no worry.  
         "So what do ya got planned" she says looking at the boys.
"Well me and Malek dont really know what to do so we were gonna ask you" Eric says smiling as his cheeks turned a nice shade of pink.
"If you say some boring ass shit i-" Malek was cut off by siarra "how about we check out that haunted chapel people have been talkin' about" she smirks
"Wow for once that isn't boring" Malek says impressed
"Why not we got nothing to loose and its not like ghost exist" siarra says
"I...uh don't know" Eric says with concern
"Dont pussy out on us Eric, come on be a man!" Malek yells pushing Eric's arm.
"Ya come on Eric it'd be bad if its just me and that idiot, go! we need another person with us" siarra says smiling. Eric's cheeks flush up a bit more "if ya say so alright ill go" he says hiding his face in his jacket. "Hold up, can we do that later on in the day...lets grab a bite and hang at the skate park"Malek says
"I thought you hated the skate park?" Siarra questions
"I do doesnt mean I still cant go" Malek says with a sort of mean tone. "Damn...all hostile and shit" Siarra commented.
"Can we just go? I kinda want to sit" Eric sighs.

      They head down to a donut and coffee shop, pick up about a dozen donuts and some drinks. "Yo I'm serious aliens are out there, dont you deny it siarra...right Eric?" Malek says stuffing his face with munchkins
"Eric?" Malek and Siarra both look at Eric who is clearly spaced out. "Yo Eric!" Malek yells snapping his fingers
"Ah ya!" he says looking up at the both of them. "You ok?" siarra asks. "Ya I'm good" he says blinking a few times.
"Well we are almost there so pay attention to Malek and his tom foolary" siarra joked
"Shut up" Malek laughs
       The three make it to the skate park and Malek completely breaks into laughter. "Those guys look so idiotic!" Malek yells out loud.
A black scruffy haired boy about the same age as the three came up to Malek "shut the hell up freak" the boy says flicking Malek's head. He was a few inches taller than Malek just about 5'11".
"Oh look Deker you're here again ha! You need to stop trying and let these middle schools do their tricks and flips" he says trying to insult Deker and succeeding.
"Fuck you Malek" Deker says about to throw a punch at Malek.
As the clenched fist flew up Eric ran in front of Malek to protect him.
"Fucking shit" Malek yells
Siarra covers her mouth
Deker lets out a "shit".
The fist had hit Eric right on his cheek. The right side of his face started to swell and turn a purple, green color. "Aw shit that hurt" Eric says touching the swollen part of his face.
"Yo you stood in front of him" Derek says as a defence to his attack.
"Ya ya go play with your boards Derek" Eric says with a pained look on his face.
"Ya...ya whatever" Derek says walking off.
Malek had a surprised yet smiling expression on his face.
"Dude why'd...oh god dude!?" Malek tired making a perfect sentence but failed.
"Fuck you" Eric says smiling a bit
"Help me up" he says reaching his hand up. Malek reaches hia hand out and brinfs the pale boy up. Siarra was in shock from that whole scene and had her hands covering her face. Malek and eric laugh at her reaction and she blushes "stop laighing at me you idiots!" she says turning around.
"Come on Siarra ir was funny" Eric says
"It wasnt you both always cause trouble when you're together" she says now crossing her arms.
"Ya whatever just have a laugh" Malek says.
        The three of them hung out at the park cracking jokes at all the skaters.
They ended up walking into the woods at around 3:30p.m.
"My feet hurt" Siarra whined
"Suck it up" Malek says snickering, he takes out his blunt from his beaney and lights it up. "Hey Eric is it time for you to finally grow up and smoke it?" Malek says teasing a bit.
"I'm not doing that shit Malek you should know by now I won't do it...I'm not ready" he says grabing his arm
"Okay fine I respect that but when you're ready i want to be the first to smoke it with you ok?...cos you and me, we like brothers" Malek says smiling
"Ya i promise" Eric smiles
"Can I try this time Malek?" siarra inturups the brotherly moment
"No your mom would kill me" he says not even wanting to think about that.
"Its not like she'll find out...right?" siarra says thinking more about this.
"Dude she could tell what i had for lunch last Tuesday if I opened my mouth for a second" Malek exaggerated.
"Ya ya i get it, jeez i cant do it" Siarra whined.
"Hey guys isn't the chapel around here?" Eric commented
"Oh ya! Lets go, Malek forget your blunt come on!" Siarra says excitedly pulling on his plad jacket.
"Ok ok jeez stop tugging on me" he says a bit angered.
     The three of them headed to the chapel getting lost on the way and arguing over who's fault it was. "This place looks like my kinda place" Malek says smiling and liking the abandoned/ haunted vibe to the chapel.
The three hang there for a few mocking ghost shit and acting like ghostbusters. As soon as it was time to head back the rain decieds to pour heavily.
"Shit!!! I was going to fucking binge watch x-files" Malek groaned
"Fuck you my moms going to kill me if I'm out this late...she might send a whole police force out here searching for me" Siarra exagerated. Siarra and Malek look at Eric to see his response he ends up shrugging and they laugh.
"Well just call your mom say your waiting until the rain stops" Eric suggested
"My phone was taken away this weekend" siarra says
"I would lend you mine but its dead" Eric says trying to be nice, they then looked at Malek who was already on the phone.
"Yo...i aint gonna be at the dorm tonight" he says on the phone
"I'm not going to cheat with another girl I'm not a male whore" he says angrily
"He must be talking with Angela" Eric says. Angela was Malek's girlfriend from the town over. They had been dating for about 9 months now and he was fairly happy with her.
"Ya ya ya I'm here with Eric ok wanna here him talk?" He says sighing
"Hey Angela!" Eric yells
Malek smiles
"She says hey" he then exchanges I love yous and good byes
"Ok here call ya mom" Malek says tossing his phone at Siarra.
"Thanks" she says dailing her moms number and calling.

"Hey Malek...ya think its going to rain all evening?" Eric asks
"What do I look like a fucking weather man....and I dont know" he says taking a huff of the last of his blunt.
Eric looks out the window of the chapel and sighs.
"Here! my moms fine as long as I'm with you guys" siarra says tossing Malek back his phone.
"Ugh I don't want to stay here I'm getting chills!!" Siarra whined
"Must be a ghost then" Malek says making the corny ghost sounds.
"Stop it dont joke about that now" she says pushing Malek.
"What you said you didn't believe in ghost right why ya getting scared now...cos its getting dark?" Malek smirks
"I don't believe ok so shut it" she says a little unsure about the first part of the sentence.
Malek chuckles "you're scared" he says pointing at her
As those two were arguing Eric was spacing out, he then was hit with a sharp pain a bit more stronger than the punch that was thrown earlier that day. The pain caused him to let out a "damn" under his breath.
He begins to rub his temples and his eye sight gets blurry, he tries blinking to see if it was just something in his eyes but it didn't seem to make his eyesite better. "Eric you good?" Malek had noticed the pained look in Eric's eyes and was concerned.
"I have a head ache thats all" he says
"We need to get you back to your dorm so you can rest up" Siarra says
"But its still raining" Eric says with slight pain in his tone
"Ya and its getting dark which will make it hard for you to get home" Siarra argues
"Can't we just stay here?" Eric says gritting his teeth at the amount of pain he's feeling. "Yo come on lets just head back now ok?" Malek says a bit worried now "fine" Eric says finally giving in. The two hold on to Eric so that he won't trip, fall or be in any pain. They make it half way but by this time the night has almost completely taken over the sky.
Malek turns on his phone camera and walks up ahead while Siarra holds up Eric and follows, just then a flash of light brightens the sky and the surroundings, all three jump in fear.
"FuUuuuuking lightning" Malek says startled and angered. "Come on just keep going" siarra says
It then begins to rain harder making the three soaking wet.
Another flash of light strucks and in the corner of erics eyes he sees a tree starting to collapse.
