A Single Drop

A Normal Day?

Pergrine Jacobs, you heard me right, Pergrine , and the worst part of all is I'm a boy. Now  many people probably haven't heard my name before and woppie doo I'm highly unsuprised by that. You see I come from a very big family of inventors who date back too the early period of the industrial revolution, however I'm not like my family at all, ok so it sounds like a cliche plot point for a movie about a boy wanting to be different but trust me it's not.... Anyway.... My name Pergrine means literally ' to wander' my family
did this purposely in memory of my mother who loved to travel to find inspiration for her clothing line which is highly successful despite her passing on. However I'm like my mother I like to explore and go on adventures but , instead I'm cooped up at home in my room. All because of my 'highly inventive father' who is very bad at it and mostly ends up with explosions in the garage. We mostly get our money from my sister Jannie who continues my mothers line and sometimes I help her, I'd almost Say as talented as our mother, but enough about my boring life story (mostly my name ) we should start off with about 5 months ago on the first day back at school staring senior year.

It was the first day back at school and I very much didn't want to get up. I had been up all night on the phone to a friend and I didn't sleep as much as I needed. My room was very large as we lived in a house that we had made the blueprints for and built (well not me but my family) my room was blue and I had a patio door sized Windows next too eachother on left side of my bed. And the a few feet away was a football table and next to it were stairs that went up too my little library area. Next too my bed was a small cabinet and on the wall a large flat screen tv with all the consoles under it Xbox one, PS4, Nintendo switch , Wii hell even an old SEGA game boy with all the classic games for it. Their was a back couch on it crumbs and crisps from gaming sessions. Infront if it a purple beanbag. Tucked in the corner was the large wardrobe in the wall painted green and a set of drawers next to it. The bed is what took up a lot of room, King sized and the sheets a baby blue. Hell I even had a balcony.

To my dismay and with a loud groan the blinds opened and beams of sun shone through making me groan even louder hoping that the louder I got it would go away. Unfortunately for me that was not the case. I forced myself out of bed and rolled off the bed with a thud to earn a shout off my sister of "Pergie? Are you ok?" Pergie I've always hated that nickname but seeing she was my sister I could let it grit past my teeth "Yeah! I'm fine....just fell out of bed..." That was I lie I literally threw my self off the bed too wake up "Hurry up then! We have 10 minutes till we gotta go" now who may you asked opened the curtains as my sisters in the other room? The maid.. Aranda she was a Lovley lady and very kind "I've set out your usual Pergrine what ear piecing today?"
(If you haven't figured it out yet we are kinda rich)
"I'll have the.....red star please" I groaned and yawned stretching my arms. The maid left and I got ready. I wore ripped denim trousers which were dark blue and skinny, and red top and black trainers with a short sleeve grey hoodie and one piercing.
(If you couldn't tell by now I'm gay)
If was no secret of my sexuality, my family knew everyone at school knew but the best part is they are all scared of my sister so they don't double cross me. Grabbing my blue shoulder back and go down drink some juice completely skipping breakfast and go out the door with my sister trailing next to me. Fun fact for ya we are twins but I'm older by 5 minutes. We aren't identical but we are similar with face shape hair and eyes and body structure that's about it. Sometimes I feel like I was supposed to be a girl. She styled her hair in a ponytail with a plat were as me i have a perfect quiff which is also perfectly curled. And in my family looks are most of if package.

We walked along the road and down the hill, our house was completely cut off from the rest of town so we had to leave early and do a lot of walking, what about buses you ask? They don't come this far to the edge of town as we are practically the only ones who live out here. However if we are late we get priority because we live 30 minutes away and that's just to drive. So by the time we get there it's alway 9:00 and we miss half of first period, which didn't bother us because it was always maths first and we had our father to teach us that anyway. We got too the school and we surprisingly got their 10 minutes earlier so we only missed 20 minutes which with our math teacher is registration. However something struck us as odd when another student walked through the doors who looked the same age as us but we had never seen him.
"Pergie any idea who that guy was?" She said looking at bit weird as she was basically staring at this point.
"One I'm as lost as you are , two stop staring it's creepy and the last thing we need is too be marked as stalkers" he said with a slight sarcastic tone.
"Oh yeah right your staring as much as I am!" She said with a nudge to my shoulder.
She was right though I couldn't help but stair as we walked up the stairs he was pretty good looking and looked my taste his hair was black with streaks of a faded pink , sorta like a rockstar. His body was skinny and well kept but his eyes are what drove me mad, the red glisten in the sun. Much to my shock he turn't around and winked and he felt his head pound our his chest.

I found myself broken out of my  world of gaze and I was shoved "ooooo Pergies got himself a crush" Jannie Teased lightly nudging me, kind hard at that.
"As if Jan I don't even know his name or anything " I scoffed lightly and found myself looking at the door. We walked up the stairs and into class and the boy from out front was standing at the front of the class. We got their just in time for him to announce his name "Hello, " he sounded quiet sophisticated which made me blush just a little. "My Names Ambrose Connors, pleasure to meet you all"  I caught myself staring almost agian before Jan pulled me too my seat next too her. Ambrose huh? Doesn't that mean immortal...? I thought to myself hand on my chin looking blankly at the board paying no attention to what was acutally being said. All I could feel is my heart throb and my eyes shut and then next thing I know the bell had rung did I fall asleep? I was extremely confused as I never Usually fall AsSleep in class come to think of it I never had before.

I left the classroom to get given a worried stare off Jan "What? W-What's wrong?" I asked stumbling over my words full well knowing what she was gonna say in which I tried buying time.
"You full well know what's wrong you Son of a bitch!" She hit my shoulder which lead me too squirm a bit and rub my arm "OWWW....What the hell Jan!" I exclaimed I mean who wouldn't be pissed if someone hit them for a petty reason. "Look about falling asleep in class I-" she hit me again which lead me too punch her "What's wrong with you?!" I shouted
"What's wrong with me?! More like you! Do you have any idea what you did in class?!" She exclaimed again her patients clearly wearing thin like a cobweb.
"I-I....honestly don't have a clue.." I slumped over
Oh shit what did I do.... Please don't be something humiliating I beg!
"YOU ONLY HUMILIATED YOURSELF!" She shouted waving her arms
Shiiiiiiiiit what did I do...
"What did I..." I fell over my sentence and started again "what did I do this time" I held my hand infront of me near my chest like I had been frozen mid explanation
She sighed heavily and looked at me with a look that I knew had no good coming out of it.
"So when you fell asleep" she explained "Ambrose, the new guy, was sat next too you and you passed out.."
Passed out?!? I thought i fell asleep
"Then after you passed out you started muttering in you sleep...." She looked down too the left
"Jan...?.....what.was.I.muttering.....?" I stretched the end of the sentence in dear hope that I didn't mutter
"You were muttering Ambroses name in your sleep..."
Fuck I'm done this is the end. By world was good knowing ya...
SHIT
I walked away from her too the nearest recycling bin and climbed inside shutting the lid so you can only see my eyes and Jan sighed and walked over to me
"Please come out...." She asked pleadingly
"This is my home now be sure too bring me lunch...."
