Chapter 2

3rds my doods

When class finally ended, Aaron walked down the hallway towards his next class. He was contemplating letting Thomas actually get his hoodie back or just keeping it when his thoughts were interrupted by a voice calling his name.

He looked up to Thomas himself running towards him with his hoodie in hand. "Okay so I adjusted your hoodie a bit," Thomas said, slightly out of breath.

"Really?"

Thomas nodded. "Give me back my hoodie I know you want to try and keep it."

Aaron glared at him and took off he hoodie, exchanging his with Thomas and putting it on.

"God this is comfortable, I'm blaming you if I get in trouble for wearing it all the time," Aaron muttered and practically snuggled until the hoodie.

"Yeah yeah," Thomas grinned and slipped his own in his bag to work on later.

"How'd you make it?" Aaron asked.

"I really don't know, I just went along with it. I'm glad you like it!" Thomas smiled and stopped, staring at the hoodie with a confused expression.

"What? What is it..?" Aaron looked down to see the hoodie glowing slightly. "Uhh..." Some other students in the hall caught sight of it and like the teens they were, pulled out their phones to start recording.

A glowing orb/wisp separated itself from the hoodie and floated between Aaron and Thomas. They both looked equally confused as the wisp whizzed around Aaron and over to Thomas, leaving Aaron a shivering mess.

The wisp sped around in circles around Thomas before going straight in his chest. Thomas flinched and stumbled back a bit. "That felt very weird," Thomas blinked a bit and heard other gasping but his attention was caught on Aaron falling to the ground, shivering violently.

"F-f-fuck..." he gasped out. He slowly stood up, using the lockers for support.

"Aaron do you need help?" Thomas asked, concerned. Aaron shook his head and started making his way to the nurse's office. Thomas frowned and followed close behind.

At one point Aaron just gave up on trying to move and just slid to the ground, hugging himself tight.

He looked up to see a blurry Thomas rushing over to him.

"W-why the f-f-fuck is i-it so c-cold?" Aaron muttered and Thomas frowned deeply. He said said something Aaron couldn't hear and Aaron felt himself being picked up.

Aaron tried to get Thomas to set him down but Thomas refused and walked Aaron to the nurse's office.

When Thomas got there he looked around for the nurse, who was treating another student. She looked up at Thomas and frowned, motioning him over.

"What's wrong with your friend?" The nurse asked.

"I um...don't know? All I know is that he is ice cold and that's not good," Thomas answered. The nurse sent the student off and looked over Aaron, who seemed to have passed out.

"Get some blankets from the cabinet and bring his stuff here, he'll be fine he just needs to heat up is all," the nurse said with partial truth.

Thomas nodded and got the blankets, and went off to go get Aaron's stuff.

The nurse waited for Thomas to drop off Aaron's to pull out a jar labeled "for emergencies" out of her cabinet. She held her breath and opened it, hovering it below Aaron's nose.

His nose scrunched up and his eyes slowly blinked open, him instinctively moving away from the terrible smell. The nurse closed the jar and sighed.

"Am I in the nurses office?" Aaron mumbled and the nurse murmured a yes.

Aaron sighed as the intense feeling of coldness slipped away and he tried to get out of the bundle of blankets. He ended up falling off the little couch, bed thing.

The nurse chuckled and helped him out. Turns out he was only wrapped in 3 blankets.

"Wha..?" Aaron stared at the 3 blankets that had been his trap.

"Run along Aaron, you still have class," the nurse reminded and Aaron nodded, getting up and taking his stuff out of the office to head to his next class.

The nurse sighed. "Good luck."

School had ended and John was walking with Alex towards the planetarium.

"And you wanted to go...why?" Alex asked.

"I don't know, I just wanted to see all the cool planets and everything. Plus we only went there once in like 3rd grade," John responded eagerly.

"Alright alright," Alex laughed.

John grinned and walked across the road without a care in the world. Alex panicked slightly and chased after him. They paid for their admission at the planetarium entrance and walked inside.

"Woah!" John looked around, fascinated at everything.

"Okay if you want we can split apart, you can look at some of the other exhibits near by just make sure to call me when you are ready to watch the big sh- and you're gone," Alex sighed as he saw John nowhere. He shook his head and chuckled going off and looking at some of the models the planetarium had to offer.

After 30 minutes of looking around, Alex finally found John and dragged him to the main show. They sat next to each other and watched as the planet's moved across the screen in an complex pattern, earning ooo's and ahhh's from the crowd.

At the end there was a standing ovation from the crowd but there was also another surprise to come. Alex was the first to notice.

"Uhh John?" Alex asked. John hummed in response.

"Are your freckles supposed to be glowing like that?" Alex asked in slight concern.

"Excuse me what?" John deadpanned and looked at his arms. Sure enough, his freckles were indeed glowing. He had a jump of surprise and tried to swipe at them with no avail.

Each of the planet models from around the room began to glow and a small wisp emitted from each of them and floated over to John.

"What the hell is happening?" John muttered and looked at the wisps. Alex stared in confusion and the other people the auditorium watched with awe, some had more knowing looks while others were just as confused.

The floated lazily around John and met in front of him, forming a star and settling in the center of his chest. John had no reaction at first but then flinched and gasped, stumbling back.

There was a glow from John's eyes before they settled to a light haze in the shape of stars.

"Holy shit," Alex gasped and looked at John, whose freckles stopped glowing.
