"The Awakening"

Last day of school

           Ring! Ring! The school bell sounds at Hi-Middle school. It's time for lunch. Everyone grabbed their stuff quickly and left the classrooms for lunch talking and laughing with their friends. Except for a boy with wispy jet black hair that went down to about shoulder length and he had light sea green eyes. He stayed behind in his class to finish his project that he had to do. When he was done he got up and gathered his stuff and left. As he was walking down the straight long hallway he could hear the kids laughing and shouting over each other in the cafeteria even though he wasn't that close. He could smell the delicious food in the hallway. His mouth started to water. He picked up his pace, and he could feel a little breeze blow past his cheeks as he walked to lunch. As he was walking he saw a kid that was wearing a green and gray under armor sweatshirt with dark blue jeans and gray shoes. The shoes had a cat on the side of them so the boy thought they were Pumas. The kid was tall and muscular looking and had dark brown hair that was shaggy and his face looked stiff and firm. He was tapping his foot with his arms crossed just standing there so the boy slowed down a little. It looked to the boy like the kid was waiting for someone and losing patience. The boy thought he would just walk right past the kid because he knew no one would wait for him like that, because they never did. The boy's name is Aaron. Aaron is the new kid this year at Hi-Middle school. He hasn't made any friends yet and it's almost the end of the year. His parents come home late all the time from work so he never has anyone to encourage him to make some friends. At Aaron's old school though he used to play a lot of sports. He was also the team captain of most of those sports not only for being good at the sport, but for being a good team player and leader. Also at Aaron's old school, he had great grades and lots of friends too. He was also a pretty good fighter too and he helped out the students that were being picked on at his old school. Aaron has a bit of an attitude and/or temper when he thinks someone is making fun of him or really pushing his buttons. When Aaron past the kid.The kid said, "Hey there, Aaron Blazer is it?"

               "What, are you asking me?" asked Aaron as he turned around to face the kid.

              "No I mean the other kid in the hallway, yes I mean you. There's no one else in this hallway. So is your name Aaron Blazer or not?" Aaron just looked at the kid for a while shocked that someone actually knew who he was or at least was asking if he was him because no one asked him anything. "Hey, I asked you a question 'Are you, Aaron Blazer?' I heard from a kid who said there was someone in his class named Aaron. Are you him or not?" asked the kid annoyance rising in his voice.

            "Yes I am Aaron Blazer, what do you want?" Aaron asked, "I kinda got to go to lunch."

            "Oh I just wanted to know if you were going to try out for football next year because I heard that you're pretty good," said the kid.

           Aaron said timidly, "Well I mean I did play at my old school and I was the captain and everything but-,"

       "Oh, you were now? What school did you play for? I bet we beat your school like a million times," said the kid with arrogance in his voice.

       "Shining Middle school. I'm pretty sure we were undefeated the last whole season," said Aaron, "But like I was going to say before, I don't think I'll play next year. Maybe I'll go out for something like basketball or baseball or even soccer because I did play those sports at my old school too, but football never crossed my mind. Maybe it should have?"

       "What! You were the captain of Shining? No way, if you were the captain of a team like that, football would of had to cross your mind at some point this year," said the kid. "No team captain like that would even not consider playing football unless he was a wimp and was lying."

        "Are you calling me a wimp and a liar?" asked Aaron accusingly.

          "If the cleat fits," the kid shot back .

           "Oh really now?" asked Aaron smoothly.

            "Is that sass mister?" said the kid mockingly.

             "Yeah it was, now don't call me a wimp.I'm out of here. I'm hungry. I'm going to lunch. Get out of my way, please," said Aaron angrily.

             "Oh do you want to go because those are fighting words," said the kid threateningly with his fits up by his face like he was ready to brawl. Then the kid walks over to Aaron and takes a swing at him, but Aaron was too quick and dodged it. Then Aaron stuck out his leg and tripped the kid. The kid fell on his face and then got right back up and tried to push Aaron in the back, but Aaron saw it coming and moved at the last second. Then the kid fell forward on his face again. Now the kid wasn't just mad anymore he was fuming face red like a ripe tomato. He grabbed Aaron's leg and pulled him down with him. Then the kid got up and grabbed Aaron by his blue and orange Nike sweatshirt and threw him against the wall next to a drinking fountain. Now Aaron was getting more mad so he stood up and clenched his fists. All of a sudden the drinking fountain started to shake and rumble. Then it exploded and all the pipes in the school exploded along with it. Water came crashing down the straight long hallway and hit the kid full force head on with all the water. He got pushed all the way down the hall through the doors at the end into the parking lot before the water stopped. Everything was sopping wet throughout the hallway except the little spot where Aaron was standing it was bone dry not a single drop of water on it. Aaron didn't know what just happened, but at the time he did not care because he felt drained. He collapsed and passed out on the floor right where he stood.

                                                                             ****************************

             When Aaron woke up, the first thing he saw was a bright light shining its brilliant rays upon him. He let his eyes adjust to the brighter light and found he was sitting in a chair in a small room with cabinets and a small bathroom towards the back of the small room in the right side corner and there was a countertop with a thermometer on it and a sink built into the countertop. "Oh you're awake," Aaron looked to see where the voice came from and found it belonged to a lady that looked like a middle aged model with blond hair that went past her shoulders by about an inch and she had beautiful blue eyes. It was like looking at the surface of a lake on a clear day. She also had a brilliant white smile and a slim build and skinny waist and she was looking at him. Aaron didn't know what to say. He thought for sure he was dead because she looked like an angel.

                   Aaron thought he had to say something to her so he asked confused "A yes I am where am I?" 

                 "You are in the nurse's office. Some kids found you passed out on the ground and they brought you here as well," said the beautiful lady sweetly, "They also saw mister Clint out in the parking lot also passed out and a little scraped up. Now I know what your thinking, your thinking where is mister Clint if he is also passed out. Well what I have to say to that is he got sent home for the day after he woke up. So I assume he is home right now. Mister Clint was willing to stay here until you woke up said he had to give you something , but we sent him home anyway. To be honest everyone is being sent home because all the pipes in school exploded mysteriously. They said that since this accident they have to close the school for the rest of the year and get it fixed before they reopen the school for the new year. So you better be on your way to get your stuff and go to the bus. Now go on."

                   "Thanks. Bye," Aaron said dreamily. Then Aaron did what the beautiful lady said and got his stuff and got on the bus.
