The Meet( Chronicles of Sandra Deeps

CHAPTER FOUR

EVERYTHING COMES OUT

"Okay...... okay......"Damion said nodding his head,writing down each thing I was saying.I guess I should have been suspicious but really, what for, its not like he's a hokbin.

"Doesnt this whole thing sound bunkers? "I finished off my statement of all my facts.

"Not at all.Things can be unbelievable even though they are always sitting right infront of you."

"Well that there, thats mumble jumble.I'm over here thinking my mom is on something.And your all the way over there talking about fairytales come true."

"This doesn't sound like some fairytale, more like a creatue waking up from their hibernation."

"I still dont believe in this thing. No one has gotten hurt so really, they are just myths.And you know what i say about myths?"I asked looking through Damion's mixtapes to put one in to play.

"Yeah yeah, their irralevant to the issues of life."

I walked to the radio and popped the cd in listening to the trance of earthy tunes and high pitched voices.

"Exact_a_mondo."I said pointing at Damion to come and dance with me.

"I'm not budging."

"Oh, yes you are!"

I started toward his bed, grabbing his hands so he could get up.We twirled around no worries of bumping into something.I knew Damions room like I knew my name.So many years of playing up here with him.Talking about whats happened to us from elementary to middle school, things like boobs and facial hair.We lauged and made fun of each other but with any issues we always came back together like we were right now.Dancing to his wonderful indie music that everyone else would think was a total bore.

"What would make you believe?"he asked me, talking into my ear.

"Um let me think.......... "I started messing with my lips as I always did when I thought about something. "If someone was pale at the school, and that situation was broadcasted across the televised world."

"Okay.....and when that happen, what would you do?"

I dont know.Im not one of those heros that popped up in every book, I'm just me.But still, I frowned a little thinking about little old me trying to do something.I walked over to his bed and plopped myself down not knowing what to say.

I have no idea."I finally said.

Damion went to the music and turned it down low, walking slow and calm over to me.Not sitting, not talking, just leaning against the wall by his bed next to me.Then he broke the silence,

"You wouldnt be he only one battling for someones life, you know.We're all in this together."He smiled at his encouraging words.Then he looked back at me and I was just looking at him.Damion came by the bed and plopped down.Then I felt his muscular warmth wrap around my shoulders.

"Girls and their loneliness feelings ."he said.

I looked up at him to see his face expression. I aaw a hint of softness and laughter in it.So I laughed,knowing that he meant it for a joke and not negative way.

"You know what, I think I should be getting back home."I got up walking to the door, almost forgetting about the hokbin breath I let him look at when I was explaining everything.

"The hokbin breath thingy."I said to him.

"Wait what?"He shot back at.

"That clear tube."

"Right right."

He dug into his pocket pulling out the tube.

"Thanks."I said as I headed out.

***

As soon as I got home my head hit the pillow but instead of my soft comfy bed, I layed across the couch with the tv infront. I hoped up quickly searching for the tube in my pocket if I crushed it and the deadly fumes filled the air.As I looked around I found it on the tabel, just where I dont remember putting it.

I layed back down going back to my comfortable position staring back at the pictures on the tv.Just wondering what everyone is doing on this Saturday morning.Sammy was probably just waking up thinking about coming over so he can get some breakfast.Damion doin the usual sleep until three in the afternoon so he could catch up from his missed sleep from the week.And my mom and dad are in the kitchin, I know that for a fact because I can hear her morning hums, and my dad's occasional whistles.Relaxed and all I watching as words appeared across the screen:MURDER AT 12MIDNIGHT BEHIND H.T BURNS HIGH SCHOOL.

I lifted ip slowly, thats my school, I grabbed for the remote quickly turning the volume up more. A reporter came into view talking fast and say each word clearly only stumbling a little.

"Samantha Curkins,one of the 10th grades that attended H.T Burns HIgh School has been found dead on the football field, pale.Now the police has closed school until any further notice on the incident........"She continued talking while I called out to the kitchen.

"Mom ....Dad can you come here!"

They walked slowly from the kitchen smiling by the cheer of the morning, but as they looked at my face then at the words at the tv their faces dropped right along.And all my mom had to say was,

"There coming."Her eyes were big just like the time she told me about 'them'.

"And the officers wont stop at nothing to find out what happened to this young student."

And that when Sammy came from the front door in full speed almost falling over the carpet.His curly afro wiggling all over and his xhest going up and down like he found out that he was having a baby.His brown eyes were bigger than they usually were and I can see the glaze of something wet appearing.

"Did you...?"

I cut him off and said,"Meet me up stairs."

Sammy was already runnin up the stairs and I followed behind hearing our steps collide into rhythm of worried people.
