"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep..."
i shut the bible and looked over at my alarm clock. 6:00am. i knew i had to get up if i wanted to have enough time to get ready for school. school. ugh. i rolled over and pulled the blanket up to cover up my face and didnt realize sleep pulling me back into the comforts of my bed.
6:45am. i shot out of bed realizing how quickly time had gone. i slammed my head onto the wooden planks that lined the top of my bunk bed. the pain that flowed through the left side of my head caused me to moan out loud in pain. i got up to go to the bathroom grabbing my towel on my way out. i wondered why the bed remained there if nobody slept up there anymore.
in about 15 minutes i was on my way down the stairs. i walked into the kitchen to find my mother sitting on a stool sipping a cup of coffee with a blanket wrapped around her. she looked sick. her skin was pale and she had noticeable bags around her glazed eyes. she looked years older than her acrtual age.
i walked to the refridgerator and looked inside. the fridge was empty except for a small pack of sargento cheese that had slowly began to rot. a pair of heavy feet began to make their way down the stairs and i began to quickly search for my bag. the steps were getting closer. i began to frantically search for my bag, throwing the old tired sofa pillows out of my way.
the person was now at the bottom of the stairs and i began to feel nauseous. i ran for the door and grabbed the door knob but he had already began to yell.
"WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING YOU.."
i slammed the door and began to run down the sidewalk to the bustop. i turned around to make sure he wasnt following me. when i saw nobody else behind me, i slowed down to catch my breath. the bustop was a few steps away. i began to walk when i felt somebody grab me by the shoulder. i began to panick when i realized he had managed to follow me down to the bustop.
i slowly turned around trying to find an excuse for my actions. i turned around to meet a pair of perfect blue eyes and a beaming smile. i relaxed my nerves and smiled back.
"Hi Joziah"
"Hey Genesis"
