The Microchip

Chapter 1

You know what's the most beautiful thing in the world is? it's the thing you hate leaving the most in the morning but love coming back to it late at night. It makes you feel so refreshed, it makes you want to start a brand-new day. it's the time where you feel the most relaxed in your busy days. The most beautiful thing in the world is sleep. Yes sleep. If I was given a chance to win a Million dollars just to stay up for 72 hours. I would turn it down, why? Because if you love sleep as much as I do you'll do the same. You may be asking why I am talking about sleeping right now. I'll tell you why, if Satan himself created this creature just to ruin everything that is good in my life just for the fun of it. If that is so then my dear friend Claire Anderson fits that part perfectly. Not only did she wake me up but also gave me a nice cold shower this morning. As soon as I felt the cool liquid hit my body that was wrapped like a burrito in my nice warm sheets. I was ready to raise hell.

Instead of getting out of my bed in a graceful matter, I found myself falling out of my bed like a flapping fish that was just taken out of water. As I was bracing myself for impacted on my bedroom floor, I hit my head on the corner of my night stand on my way down. Just peachy isn't it. I opened my eyes to see Claire on the ground with the bucket beside her, clutching her stomach laughing like there was no tomorrow, while I laid on the cold hard ground in pain.

"Oh yes just stay there and laugh at my pain while I think of a million different ways of killing you" I said still on the ground groaning.

"Oh my god I'm sorry" she said while wiping her tears away trying to sober up her laughter. "Actually, no I'm not that was the most hilarious thing that has ever happened in my whole lifetime"

I finally got up from the ground and walked over to my dresser to find some clothes to wear for the day. " Just get out so I can go take a shower"

" Why do you need to take a shower when I already gave you one?" she smiled at me innocently. I didn't say anything back but glared instead, hoping she will get the message. Which she did thankfully. "alright, alright I'll go" she said while putting her hands up like she was surrendering. As soon as the door closed I walked into my bathroom and got ready for the day.

Once I was finished my shower I ran downstairs, with clothes on of course. As I reached the bottom of the stairs I see the she Devil herself rummaging through our kitchen fridge.

"What are you doing?" I ask as she continued to look through my fridge.

All she did was give me a flat looking at me like I asked her what was 2 + 2 was " Well my dear friend Ryder I am looking for a nice red apple, you seen those before right?" raising an eyebrow "it's the red-looking ball with a stem at the top. Oh! and if you're lucky it will have a sticker on it! Exciting, isn't it?!" she exclaimed in the most sarcastic voice known to mankind.

I didn't reply to her sarcastic remark, instead I grabbed my car keys and left for the door not even waiting for her. I jumped into the driver side of my red 2007 Honda Civic, I turned the key making the engine roar I mean it wasn't a big roar since it's only a Honda Civic, not a sports car. As I started backing out my driveway Claire ran out the front door and jumped into the passenger side, she started putting her seat belt on but not before muttering " jerk" under her breath. I smirked to myself then proceeded to drive to school.

The drive to school was quite with just the sound of music playing from the radio made it more bearable. I think she didn't want to talk to me because I was about to leave for school without her but it was her fault for pouring all that water on me this morning and also who would be mad about not going to school? Her obviously. My mom must have been part of this since her and my dad went on a weeklong trip together to Chicago for their anniversary, they knew I wasn't going to get up for school on time while they were gone because I like my sleep. Upon arriving at the school, I thought today was going to be a good day even after the whole Claire fiasco this morning. But that thought was cut short when I got out of the car and was met with a ball coming towards me without any warning. Just peachy.

Once the ball met with my face like they were going to have a tea party I immediately felt my face flush with a stinging sensation "Ow! What the fuck was that?" putting a hand to my cheek I heard a deep roar of laughter coming from the other side of the parking lot. I looked over to find my other best friend and spawn of Satan number two. Jake Smith. Him and Claire have been my best friends since Kindergarten we were like the three musketeers but less cool.

"Oh my god, that was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my entire life" he said in-between laughs. Before I could say anything, Claire decided to bring up the incident from this morning.

"That's almost exactly what I said this morning!"

" Really? What happened" he asked raising an eyebrow.

Claire looked at me and smirked "let's just say he got a little wet this morning." Jake looked at her face scrunched up with confusion once realization hit him like what the ball did to my face he looked at me then started howling with laughter. "wait, so did you?" he started to act out a scene like he was dumping water onto something because he couldn't control his laughter. Soon after Claire joined in.

After I got tired of being the laughing stock between my two friends I finally said something. "alright, alright. Are you guys done making my life a living hell like the devil spawns you are?!" they didn't answer me just laughed even more, which is awesome. After a few moments of just standing there and realizing that they weren't going to stop, I turned around in frustration and started to make my way towards the school. Arriving to my locker I heard footsteps coming from behind me I didn't turn around because I already knew who it was.

"aww c'mon man lighten up'" Jake came up on my right and swung an arm over my shoulder.

Deciding to be a smartass that I am I replied "I'll lighten up once you light yourself on fire" Claire who was on my left made a "OOO" sound.

"Ouch" he put a hand to his chest like I just shot him in the heart "was that love in the air or hatred? If its love then brings that over here so I can give cupid a run for his money but if it was hatred then get that shit away from me" he used his note book as a fan and started to blow wind towards my face. Ignoring him I started to make my way to my first class which was History. Upon arriving I saw that the teacher put 'POP QUIZ' on the bored in big bold letters I sighed already knowing it was going to be a long day.
